I have an E39 and an E36. I'm contemplating selling one of them, but I think I'll regret doing so... don't know if an E92 335i would be a good replacement for the 328i... or would it turn out to be a maintenence nightmare. Dammit.
@@nigalic Yeah, getting the E92 over the E36 is probably gonna be something that I'd regret later on. I've heard quite a few stories of people who had E36s and then selling it to get into E46 and E9x and then regretting their decisions. Same about E39 owners who went for E60s and F10s. They all say that the newer cars are just heavy, full of electronics and not as nice to drive as the older cars. I've never driven a 335i E92, but I figure it would be fast af.... I've only driven an e90 320d and that was kinda fun. What makes it worse is that the E36 that I own is a very nice specimen, completely stock and previously owned by a lady who did mostly highway miles. If I let this one go, its gonna be really difficult to come across such a car again. Sigh...
I've got a BMW m5 e39 with 478k miles, I still daily it doing 90 miles a day. This video is encouraging me to do a full crazy 4-day detail, last time I detailed it like that was at 410k miles. Brilliant video.
@@derekstocker6661 Nice, look after it and it will keep running. Mines now got 515k miles. Last summer I did a 7000-mile road trip, the only issue I had was a faulty fuel pump which was the original one from the factory.
I loved my old 540i, best car I've ever owned by a country mile. No matter how old and scruffy an e39 gets, somehow with a bit of TLC they polish up a treat and can still look as good as new like this one. The original paint was so good and very thick. Excellent work. PS, hope you put some clear coat on those wheels after the polish!
One of my favorite bmw chassis from that era and even today it still turns peoples heads around while driving by, also own a manual 96 cosmos black 540i i really love it...
Aidan, I love the attention you give you give to this e39. Truely a great car. I have a 97' 540iA, Alpine White, with 160k miles. Runs great, great body, no rust, no damage, but in need of considerable mechanical refresh. Your video, to me, reinforces the need to keep these excellent sport sedans alive. Hope mine is returned to its, as new, glory!
I immensely appreciate the effort and quality of care for the overhaul process. This really brings out the best of what the car community is really about. I miss my E39 530i... I'll have another one soon enough. Keep up the great work brother !
Another banger as usual my dude! Love it. This thing turned out so clean (pun intended, lmao). Did you do any interior work on this thing? That's the cleanest almost-400k car I've ever seen lol. Whoever the owner is must take great care of their cars.
Thank you man!! And I actually didn’t touch the interior, the owner did! But even before he cleaned it, it was still just as clean. He pretty much just knocked the dust off!
Been driving my 2001 540i M sport 6 speed 17 years. Has 230K miles, chain guides just done, still were not broken, but time to do them. Car runs like a dream. Always has. I chane oil at 5K intervals, run eithanol free gas, and absolutely adore this car. Just got the new headlight assemblies from Hella. The Euro spec ones. ///M power
Thanks for giving that e39 some TLC… it has a soft place in my heart… e39 was my first BMW and I owned 2 so far… will most likely buy another once I free up some space in my garage. E39s are pure joy to drive!
My 97 540i E39 with 350 thousand km on her, same colour, needs this. I haven't even watched more than two minutes of this yet and I'm on the edge of my seat already. I'm gonna enjoy this!
Holy s'it! I have the same exact car! Same exact style 5 rims, 324 oxfordgruen metallic, same interior color, it's almost a twin! I have 192k miles on it, a stick shift, and had modified it quite a bit. Love this paint color, one of the main reasons I bought the car several years ago. Amazing this one is in such a good condition, way better condition than mine, even with all the miles! Great job on those rims, some day soon I'll be doing this too. Great video! Cherry car!
I have a 2005 E46 that is nearing 300,000 and I maintain it religiously. I also have a very low millage 2014 F10 with the M Sport option. Wonderful driving machines when properly taken care of.
Thanks so much for this, I love the E39 and I run an E36 that I have had for over 20 years, love the music with this vid! Looking forward to your E36 vid and well done on this makeover, great work!
18:02 love those drums and those chords🔥 My style 5s could really use this… just picked up a manual sport package e39 528iT, super rare these days. I subbed after this video especially with the music choice
Superior work nothing like a buff on an Oem painted older model bmw truly a timeless classic in my opinion keep up the good work homie you going places for sure 💯
Love it! The leatherette interior wears so much better than the "Montana" leather interior that came with the Premium Package cars. My parents had a 2000 528i when I was a kid -- too bad their car was basic Alpine White on black leather with no Sport Package (no BBS wheels).
When you have the equipments and seek expertise from such like people on TH-cam, you can save yourself labour costs. Thanks for the great info, very inspiring.
Man not gonna lie I've been wanting a E39 so bad recently and there's a 1 owner 530i 80000mi up for sale where I live. This vid just convinced me to get it 🤔
Awesome Excellent workmanship...Congrats to you. Admire your ability & cleanliness...the best professionalism indeed...much time requirement but great result.
Awesome craftsmanship and video as always. Just a little advice on the RC090 refurbish: the mark on the face for the alignment of the center cap is always opposite the valve hole.
Thanks man I appreciate it! And yep I’m aware! The reason I positioned the faces the way I did was because someone replaced the center logos inside the caps at some point and didn’t center them with the valve stems, so I made it to where they aligned with the stems!
@@AidanTemplin Just seeing this comment tells me you're an attention oriented pro. I have an '03 540i. 180k miles. I would like to go over the exterior and come up with a plan of action to bring it back to a mirror finish. Is a conversation like this something you do?
I can’t afford m3 that’s why i bought today2025 jan3 i318 2002 with 212k running car is fantastic only problem im facing is car starts and suts off sometimes and hard to start. You make me to buy that car man love the way you make video cant take off my eyes dude lovely ❤️
This E39 reminds me of how my old E39 looked like, with the difference that mine was Schwartz 2 / plain black on staggered style 5's, EPIC car! Epic project! Luv the content
😖 awful music
You should consider using the mute button bro! Usually works pretty well! 🤍
You can t be serious
@@AidanTemplin He dont know how to bob his head lol
awful attitude
Typical millennial….moaning at getting free content smh
E39 is a masterpiece, like E38 and E46. What a great era it was
Well, just so you kids know, the great era started back with the e12...
Back when BMW were making the best possible driving machines 👌
Now they are famous for just their buttface grilles.

@@MrXerxes original engine (but rebuilt) and 3rd gearbox (manual). My brother broke the 2nd gearbox, it roughly had 60k miles on it.
@@Tom-q6h2c Wow, very good news, well done, and I'm looking after mine, absolutely love her.
Have you had to replace your timing chain guide rails yet?
300k+ Miles and Looks Like brandnew🤩
This makes me feel better. I just got an e39 523i with over 300k on it
I will never get over how at peace these videos make me feel. Amazing stuff Aidan!
You, Chromatic and M539 have become my top 3 channels. Cool videos, good editing and BMWs (L)
Sharing this fact with you! Such high quality and relaxing videos to watch !
So true! They should reach out to Sreten and ask to come down to Germany and detail a couple of his cars 😀
@@BearBjorniNorge That would be awesome but Sreten is pretty handy with detailing these days
Same here!
Came here to see if anyone else said this
That is absolutely superb, 364k miles, you've done a great job here. The more e39s the better in my humble opinion.....
both my 523i have just over 360k on the odometer, they are bulletproof

As someone who dailys and drifts a 528i e39 and also details on the side I can appreciate this alot. Hell yeah dude
Thanks for giving that e39 some TLC… it has
a soft place in my heart… e39 was my first BMW and I owned 2 so far… will most likely buy another once I free up some space in my garage. E39s are pure joy to drive!
The cassette tape flex at the end!
Video was a whole ass mood!! Such a good vibe, the aesthetics , cinematography shots, and the music. Killed it. Keep it up homie!
The one angle on the lot with the polished plate and polished wheels hits hard sittin there
I thought the body part was spectacular… until I saw the wheels part, I was totally speechless. Respect! Great job!
Glad you refinished the wheels looks million times better !

Car looks awesome can't believe it has so much mileage, great work as usual Aidan!

Smoothest dude on TH-cam!

Remembering my former 2000 528i, same wheels . . . Will forever be in my heart.❤
Holy !! Dope work like usual man!! Those rims came out so nice , i'm impressed how you all do this , love it!
I could watch this all day! Super satisfying. I did this on my Oxford Green e46 a while back and it's bringing back good memories
Such an elegant looking vehicle in stock form, that paint came out so clean man 🔥🔥
Watched every second of this, stunning work as usual
You absolutely knocked this one out of the park!
The music, the vibe. Everything works. Great video!
Thank you so much!! Much love
The lights, the music,the shots, the editing, the e39 you got style kid
JUst saw this video, and you did an amzing job on that car, holy crap. such a pretty green too
wow at that interior
Thanks so much for this, I love the E39 and I run an E36 that I have had for over 20 years, love the music with this vid!
Looking forward to your E36 vid and well done on this makeover, great work!
An absolute masterpiece as usual! That shot at 20:00 is hittin
great job what a result...you surprised the owner with refurbished wheels...I wish I had a friend like you! Great stash by the way man...
Recently purchased a 2003 330i with 59k on Odo. Still learning about it.....almost flawless condition.
Awesome Car. One of the best BMW ever . At this combination ...oxford green 2 metallic combined with beige interior... awesome . Greez from Germania!
What is the name of the first 3 songs and the one during the rim polish? Nice video!
Like your vibe bro. Hope to see you around VA. Keep doing your thing. Haters hate and don’t have the courage or skill to create.

I have an e39 in Fjordgrau which is nice, but this green is my favourite color, looks so clean and classy
Outstanding workmanship and customer service, great job
