In this thrilling episode of M539 Restorations, the team embarks on a quest to revive a long-forgotten V12 BMW, left to decay in a French garden for a decade. The focus? The suspension and brakes, crucial components that can make or break a driving experience. With the precision of a skilled surgeon, they dive into the world of electronic dumper control shocks, showcasing the expertise of Nagenas in Poland. These shocks, a relic from the '80s, undergo a complete refurbishment, ensuring peak performance for the mighty 12-cylinder powerhouse.
But the drama doesn't stop there. The team uncovers a shocking truth about the quality of new parts, particularly tie rods, emphasizing the need for thorough inspection and maintenance. They demonstrate the intricate process of adjusting the pitman arm height for optimal front suspension alignment, a task requiring finesse and attention to detail. As they assemble the front struts with a colossal spring and brand new hardware, the tension mounts - quite literally - with a nerve-wracking spring compressor that keeps everyone on edge.
Amidst the chaos, innovative tools like socket magnets come to the rescue, showcasing the team's resourcefulness and commitment to excellence. From powder-coated brake shields to meticulously installed wheel bearings, every detail is scrutinized and perfected. With a nod to the past and a vision for the future, the team forges ahead, transforming this automotive relic into a masterpiece on wheels. Stay tuned as M539 Restorations continues to push the boundaries of restoration, one bolt at a time.
