I posted an advice thread earlier last week, but I never posted some proper pics of the car. Here it is in all it's fading glory. I will be updating the thread with any new work and neat pictures as they come up.
This is it on day 1. I had just brought it home after getting smog done. The paint has seen better days, but I'm hoping to get it cleaned up soon.
The interior is in immaculate condition. More surprisingly, everything works! Seat controls, windows, map lights, everything!
The engine needs a couple of things. I changed the oil, and air filter. It needs a full coolant flush and maybe a complete replacement of the reservoir. The valve cover needs a new gasket (already bought it just need to get it done). Going to repaint the cover while I'm at it. The tb and throttle linkage need to be cleaned up since they're all grimy and have light surface rust.
I also fixed a fuel door hinge that was cracked. Album for that job is on my imgur acct here.http://imgur.com/a/o20HSFG

Looks like my pics weren't working. Updated them so that they show up!
Nice car! Looking forward to seeing your progress. I have big time front seat envy.. so if you don't like them please send my way : )
Where did you find this? Or have you had it?
Wow yeah looks like someone restored that interior the right way. Nice! A fresh coat of paint would have this classic looking showroom fresh. Cool project
Looks like a nice example!
Whoahhhh those drivers seat bolsters... I don't think I've ever seen them look like that lol. What is the mileage BTW?
It has 127k miles. The seats were replaced by new old stock oem ones about 5-10k miles ago. I'm very happy with how clean the interior is.
Nice!

Another E34 M5 owner and I go to the cars and coffee off of Verdugo in Glendale every few weeks. It is on Saturday mornings from 7-8:30 or so. Let me know if you want to come out and meet us. We both drive hoopties but they are fun.
