Restoring a Forgotten 1995 BMW E34 5 Series From Yard Ornament to a Daily Driver in Just 7 Days

When a classic BMW is in need I will be there no matter where it is. And it just so happens this 1995 BMW E34 525i finished in Calypso red has been rotting, abandoned, in one of Chicago's dangerous Southside neighborhoods. So today I embark on a journey to save this E34 525i and turn it from a neglected yard ornament into a capable daily driver in just 7 days! This video will feature mechanical, cosmetic, interior, and exterior repair work in order to revive this Calypso back to its(almost) former glory! Sit back, relax, enjoy some Chicago lore, and enjoy one hour of wrenching! Getting this car finished and the video edited within one week was a massive challenge so I hope everyone enjoys!
