One day a fuel leak, then engine problems, then the subframe needs to be pulled. All in a days work for owning a BMW. A labor of love if there ever was. This is now the third video on this 1986 528e that my girlfriend daily drives. See the other videos of it on my channel, there will certainly be more to come. Hope you all enjoy.
