Also with the vapor barrier, if the carpet gets wet when it rains. Get this stuff called butyl tape, it's a black sticky tarry stuff. Remove the barrier and remove the old butyl tape completely and apply new butyl tape to the frame of the door, replace barrier making sure there's a good seal by pushing lightly where the strips of that tape is and put the door back together. You may need to do all 4 doors. But after all doors are done, you'll have dry carpet after rain.
I did that with mine and then went overkill by using Zip flashing tape to completely surround the vapor barrier. I'm in the PacNW where it rains all the time and for the first time, my carpets are dry and my windshield isn't covered in condensation!
@@MrFooqair LOL on flashing tape. But your carpt is dry that's is really good. Also, you want to check and make sure the drains for the moonroof are clogged free. Grab your graden hose or a bucket of water or something that holds water. Pour water out slowly into the frame of the moonroof. Check to see if you get water coming out from the wheelwell. There should be 4 drains, 1 at each of the 4 corners of the frame, if there is a clog get some Drano, NO IM JOKING DO NOT USE DRANO! Just get some craft wire and use it as a snake to unclog. But be careful and use gentle force as you do not want to puncture the draining system. For the rear 2 drains, I don't know what to tell you. I didn't bother with the rear drains of my moonroof. In fact, I am not even sure if there are rear drains. I used a borescope to slither the scope to find the rear drains and I couldn't find them.
quick question i see the yellow connector up by the tweeter. what does that clip into i just took my door apart and connected all the connections but i cant seem to find where that. connects to unfortunatly. it would be a great help if you can assist with that. thanks.
@@justindiaz5066 hi Justin, it's been a long time since I did this but I'm fairly sure that just stays disconnected. I believe it's just a plug that might be used in cars where they have certain options added
Hey bro I have an e39 528i 1999. So my speakers are shot the sound is very muffled now since the cars 21 years old. I have the original radio and speakers. The radio I’m looking to keep thought unless I need to change it. But the speakers I’m looking at changing out and using Bavsound. Do you think I would need a new radio or just the speakers will do fine ? Thanks bro !
can I install a simple car player (1 din) in this type of car,bypassing the sound amp?(non dsp version) And if yes what kind of connector should I buy?
I've always been told to replace speakers with ones that are the same impedance otherwise you could damage the speakers or the head unit so I'm not 100% sure if it's a good idea or not
I don't think they sell this exact model anymore but this is the newer/current version: www.eonon.com/mobile/Eonon-BMW-E39-1995-2002-Android-9-0-Car-Stereo-with-2GB-RAM-32G-ROM-Quad-Core-Support-Bluetooth-5-0.html&Catype=1
Oh its all bullshit huh!! I've seen them build multi level office buildings faster than a friggn 3bed house wtf is going on hey..... these dodgey fukas mate!
Hey :) It's an Eonon GA7201A, I absolutely love it. Here is my review on it if you're interested in seeing it: th-cam.com/video/v7S5zmglSFk/w-d-xo.html
Yep, still working perfectly :) I've had it for over 2 years now and it hasn't missed a beat. I guess it can be hit and miss and you can get a good or bad one but they're really well priced for what you get but yeh, no issues at all with mine
Finally a video with the E39! I love the E39 its the best bimmer ever made
+Draft I agree :) it's such a timeless shape and they're built so well
Yea this E39 2003 manual is the bomb!

They sound as good as my Harmon stock stereo in my e39
Wow you really could hear the difference in sound quality even in this video! Sounds like a massive improvement. How much was the speaker set?
Yep the sound difference is huge. I think they were around $500-600 aud
What is the size of the door speakers you installed? Are they 5 1/4”?
Yep 5 - 1/4" - same as factory :)

I'm in Oz too, wanting the Bavsound speaker kit for my 97 E39 540... How much did you get them for? SouthernBM website doesn't specify...
+Awareness hey :) from memory they were around $600 from SouthernBM, just give them a buzz and they'll be able to tell you :)
Still loving e39...great video.. 👍
can I install a simple car player (1 din) in this type of car,bypassing the sound amp?(non dsp version) And if yes what kind of connector should I buy?
Yes you can, some companies may make a harness but the best option is probably to just splice in the new radio harness to the factory one in the car.
If doors are locked, Pull the handle twice, 1st pull unlocks 2nd pull opens the door.
Any speaker model expect bav ?
I'm sure there would be some that fit well but I have no idea in my own experience, sorry.
Does bavsound speaker kit sound's batter then top hi-fi kit ? (DSP)
In my experience from hearing the DSP system in the past, yes they do sound better. Especially if you have a subwoofer added also
Is it possible to install 4ohms impedance speaker on the rear even if original is 8ohms?
I've always been told to replace speakers with ones that are the same impedance otherwise you could damage the speakers or the head unit so I'm not 100% sure if it's a good idea or not
What camera are you using now?
+Lincoln Riddle this was filmed on the g7x mark ii :)
Can I get the link to this head unit ?
I don't think they sell this exact model anymore but this is the newer/current version: www.eonon.com/mobile/Eonon-BMW-E39-1995-2002-Android-9-0-Car-Stereo-with-2GB-RAM-32G-ROM-Quad-Core-Support-Bluetooth-5-0.html&Catype=1

Hi, what kind of navigation unit do you have installed?
Hey :) It's an Eonon GA7201A, I absolutely love it. Here is my review on it if you're interested in seeing it: th-cam.com/video/v7S5zmglSFk/w-d-xo.html
@@MichaelRoninTV Hi.. is your eonon unit still workin ok?? heard some of them break down..
Yep, still working perfectly :) I've had it for over 2 years now and it hasn't missed a beat. I guess it can be hit and miss and you can get a good or bad one but they're really well priced for what you get but yeh, no issues at all with mine
Hi! Do you still have that dsp speakers any more?
Which DSP speakers? Do you mean the Bavsound speakers? If so, yes I still have them :)
@@MichaelRoninTV the original ones.
I think I still do have them, probably somewhere in the garage haha
If you don't need them any more please give me a sign.
How much do you want for them?
Nice video and Good job, it was very interesting. Thank you ////////////////////

Awesome Video! Own a 2003 540i, might have to upgrade my speakers as well!
