How To Remove Rear Suspension on a BMW E34 M5 | Step-by-Step DIY (Applies to All E34s)

Alright, this one's for the E34 faithful. If you’re tackling suspension work on an old M5 (or any E34 really), this guide will walk you through how to remove the rear suspension step-by-step. It’s a big job, but if you’ve got the tools, time, and a bit of patience, you can absolutely do this at home. Now, this particular car is an E34 M5, which comes with SLS (Self-Levelling Suspension), and I know that puts a few people off. But don’t panic. In this video, I’ll show you exactly what you need to remove, how the system works, and what applies whether you’ve got SLS or not. Most of the steps are the same across the whole E34 chassis, 518i, 520i, 525i, 535i, even tourings, so this isn’t just for M5 owners. It’s part of a much bigger journey for us at ATB. This M5 was never meant to be easy, but that’s half the reason we’re doing it. These cars were engineered differently, and wrenching on them is a way of keeping something special alive. Every nut, bolt, and stubborn bushing is part of the story. So whether you’re fixing saggy rear suspension, deleting SLS, or just trying to make your E34 feel tight again, this one’s for you. Appreciate you being here. Let’s crack on. #BMWE34 #E34M5 #AllThingsBavarian #ClassicBMW #BMWDIY
