Hello people, got an issue with my E34. The revs drop when idling & it sounds like it's strugglingv to tick over. It sometimes cuts out & the only way to start it is to bump start. Not sure why its not firing up when i try to start it? Seems like there is enough battery as well.
The car does lose power when i push it on occassions & sometimes it seems fine & drives like normal.
I feel there is a small electrical problem with the car. I replaced one of the fuses in the car & then the car was working fine. However, they all seem to be fine now & all okay but the car's not starting. The electrical problems is with the speedometer & window wipers.
There is also some fluid leaking from under the passanger rear door. I think it's the power steering fluid or LHM, not sure but looks red. Why is it coming from the rear of the car though?
Any suggestions on any of the questions will be of much help.
Regards, BJ.
E34 M5 (3.6)

Not sure on your engine prob but i'm guessing your fluid leak is because you have self leveling rear shocks and that one of the pipes to it is leaking ?
Have you got a decent BMW specialist you can take it to ?

Hi mate maybe airflow meter, spark plugs these will be the cheapest option first
