A wealth of restoration tips and techniques covering E12, E24, E28, E34, 5 and 6 Series BMWs built between 1972 and 1995. Covers all models from 518 to M6. Advice is given on acquiring a good BMW 5 & 6 Series model, plus tips on restoring, engines, bodywork, trim, electrics, suspension & much more. If you have a car like this then you can save thousands as you bring it back up to specification - for your safety or as a restoration project this is the book you need. It is now 40 years since the first BMW 5 Series went down the production lines at Dingolfing. Back in 1972, only the BMW executives with the greatest of foresight could have predicted that in 2012, the 5 Series would still be in production and still be the class leader - and it's amusing to note that the latest model - the F10 520i - is also a two litre four cylinder just as those first Fives were. BMW occupies a unique position in the hearts of car buyers and enthusiasts for no other marque of car has such a wide fan base. From what are probably the finest range of cars in the world to an enjoyable secondhand car, through to concours events, track days to drifting championships plus huge clubs and countless forums, no other manufacturer has such a huge and diverse following as BMW. The large numbers of the first three generations of the 5 Series that still survive attest to that, and this book is aimed at owners wanting to know more and pick up some useful maintenance, repair and restoration tips.
