Haha...was only a matter of time till someone notices ^^. Yeah I got heavily inspired by Mat. I wanted to do something different this time. More emotion than fast pace. Well, at some point in this video you can even hear his voice, bc I was watching his videos while repairing something lol. Thanks man :)
Hey Anulu! The fenders are original, I didn't replace them. I think you mean the rocker panels, right? If so, they were some aftermarket ones. Honestly, I’m not sure which company made them, but they didn’t fit very well.
Thank you, David! The coding software I used to flash the new Software is called "MS4x Flasher". If you're interested, you can find all the information by searching for "MS4x Wiki" on the web. It's a really good guide ;)
Mine has an OBD 1 Port under the hood & an OBD 2 Port somewhere above the driver's knee area (Only for emission things I believe). Well, I took a look at it, but the only fault code was the air mass sensor - which I already knew. (Had no idea of INPA at that time tbh and used something not trustworthy for BMWs...)
How much have you spent on build? Next time you shuld visit scrapyards in order to get some parts cheap, for example battery holder or this tiny cap in the front bumper, would cost 1e
I think in total it was just under 4k. Could have done it cheaper...Yeah, you are right...the thing is, here in my area, I don't really have any connection to scrap yards. The one time I called a junkyard, they weren't really helpful and didn't have an E39 on their yard. But I did ask some private people who had used parts, and I got a few parts really cheap 😀
Bro keeps tossing engines instead of figuring out the problem, out of everything you accomplished the engine was possibly the easiest thing you could have fixed, especially with all the available online resources, engines are really simple as long as you understand the basic ingredients it takes to run an engine, and it's pretty much the same for all engines. It was still a great work overall, especially what you did with all the rust, i never would have messed with that, rust is my non negotiable, i would have handed it off to a professional or junked it 😂.
Hey Denis, You are right! The thing is, I am still a bit frustrated that I couldn't fix the engine. Well, I just bit off more than I could chew with this car. Never did any rust repairs, or engine stuff before. Tried my best here, still learning :) Thanks for the comment :)
@@TheE46Guy we're always learning, what you accomolished with this car was massive. It's just, i cut my teeth on engines on my diy journey, so it just seemed like the easier task and a no brainer from my perspective. Im generally terrified of body work, so what you did with the e39 is nothing short of impressive, you should be proud of what you accomplished, and i bet you are. I wish you more growth on your youtube path man, you've started something great here.
Hey Dominik, It costs about 70€ per Fill (20 Liter). But my gas bottle was also quite questionable...I am sure I would have needed another one. (about 200€) I like welding with fluxcore wire. Works perfectly for my usage.

How much have you spent on build? Next time you shuld visit scrapyards in order to get some parts cheap, for example battery holder or this tiny cap in the front bumper, would cost 1e
I think in total it was just under 4k. Could have done it cheaper...Yeah, you are right...the thing is, here in my area, I don't really have any connection to scrap yards. The one time I called a junkyard, they weren't really helpful and didn't have an E39 on their yard. But I did ask some private people who had used parts, and I got a few parts really cheap 😀
If you can't do any thing... Come to Portugal! CHEGA
super travaille
Merci beaucoup :)
Cool
Thanks Luca ;)
Bro keeps tossing engines instead of figuring out the problem, out of everything you accomplished the engine was possibly the easiest thing you could have fixed, especially with all the available online resources, engines are really simple as long as you understand the basic ingredients it takes to run an engine, and it's pretty much the same for all engines.
It was still a great work overall, especially what you did with all the rust, i never would have messed with that, rust is my non negotiable, i would have handed it off to a professional or junked it 😂.
Hey Denis,
You are right! The thing is, I am still a bit frustrated that I couldn't fix the engine. Well, I just bit off more than I could chew with this car. Never did any rust repairs, or engine stuff before. Tried my best here, still learning :)
Thanks for the comment :)
@@TheE46Guy we're always learning, what you accomolished with this car was massive.
It's just, i cut my teeth on engines on my diy journey, so it just seemed like the easier task and a no brainer from my perspective.
Im generally terrified of body work, so what you did with the e39 is nothing short of impressive, you should be proud of what you accomplished, and i bet you are.
I wish you more growth on your youtube path man, you've started something great here.
Crazy, but so good to learn
Good luck 👍🏻
thanks to you i declined my dream
Yesterday, I restored a Mercedes in 89,06 minutes
@@rheinfalke Haha nice! Next time I have to be quicker...^^
Old bmw be like: replace everything
How much is a bottle of CO2 in your place? If you use MIG it's better weld in a CO2 cover. Why use weird wire if you can use proper thing.
Hey Dominik,
It costs about 70€ per Fill (20 Liter). But my gas bottle was also quite questionable...I am sure I would have needed another one. (about 200€)
I like welding with fluxcore wire. Works perfectly for my usage.
Bro du bist aus Wiener Neustadt hab dich noch nie in meinem leben gesehen😂😂
3:34 if you want to see more rust get a ford transit mk7 next time
Should have just used a spring compressor
