I have a 540 also with VF engineering supercharger, I had plenty of cooling problems! These cars build to much pressure so I'm using Evans waterless coolant! I could drive my car all day lift up the hood & remove the radiator cap while the car is still on, no pressure! I also went OEM with the temp switch, aftermarket doesn't work well! I had one that keeps the fans at full blast! Can't even order at a drive thru, lol!
@@A1Brian 100 extra HP, 100 extra tork! I paid 5k 7yrs ago, it's 6k+ now. Definitely a difference, my car is at M5 stats now but you'll end up wanting more after awhile! Not sure what to do now!
I crashed mine 1 month ago :( ☹ I feel even depressed I bought a 2004 530i 6 speed manual But I miss my v8 sound so much I'm trying to sell it or fix it to be honest I don't know what should I do just need the radiator, fan blade and headlights
the car looks great ,do a starlight headliner next,
I thought about doing that. I just dont want to rice out the car. You know?

Nice! Hows the supercharger? Is the VF kit worth it?

You’re a part of the reason why I got an E39 M5
Thanks man. I appreciate it. Hows the car so far?
@@A1Brian I love it! Super reliable just needs a little bit of love haha
Really thinking of buying one! I have a 128i right now and I don't know, that 4.4 V8 sounds soo good! Have you done your timing chain guides?
Yea the sound is getting to you. Sounds like a monster🔥I havent done the timing chain guides but they were done when i bought the car at 160k.

Dam. I hope you’re ok. A radiator, fan blade and headlight is not much to bring it back. I would definitely try to bring it back.
car looks good. Why are you planning to run such skinny tires?
Because my car is on air suspension and with a wider tire, the tire would rub on the fender. So im trying to clear the fender and not rub as much.
