Change oil every six months. Set all tires to 34psi regardless of what it says on the door. Change air filter annually. Check the two a.c. cabin air filters located in the engine bay. Listen for DISA VALVE rattling sound. Check water level of cooling system reservoir weekly.
sorry to ask, but i’ve been looking at getting one for a daily, is there things i should look out for or should i not do it because of a lack of extendable funds?
@@dazed5333 there are many videos about this, the most important is the engines condition, and also the rust on the car, make sure the underneath is good
Nice job. Pretty beauty, love this car. have one as a daly in titanium silber with 85.000 km. The most I drive the most i want. This is a keeper for sure. we won the lotery. Cheers!
Great looking car. My 1999 M sport auto 520i is also in immaculate condition. Silver and SUEDE interior. 189000. 8 years of my ownedship. Mechanically 5 star. Interior same and everything works. 35M new and bought by myself for £1150. Unbelievable. Last of the great Beemers. Drives like the first day. So lucky. Best car in 58 years driving. See me out. We lucky boys. Enjoy yours.
@@bensgarage4017 thanks I currently drive a MB SL550, love it, but I need a back seat for a big boy dog and to take my parents around once in a while. Always wanted a E39 5 series since I was in middle school decades ago when they were new.
hi mate nice e39, just bought one 530i with 74k on clock, looking to service gearbox and also found out the bits needed to change to maintenance like the cooling system and other things, could you recommend what else can be done to prevent anything happening?
Brake lines are important to replace, especially the ones in the engine bay, by the exhaust. That's one of the next items on my list! Good luck with your new motor 👍🏼

Good work and thanks for sharing, looks great at the end. I have also got a 530i (SE manual) as a daily, they handle so well.
I agree the drive is awesome 👌🏼

DISA VALVE are supposed to last ten years, give or take so when you buy a used e46 or e39, change it right away. $169.00

How are you running the halos without DRLs? I just put some new LED bulbs in for the halo lights but I can't turn off the DRLs
The halos are my sidelights not sure what you mean by drls. I normally have the front fog lights on with the halos

What did you use to clean the engine bay?
Hello 👋🏼 I used engine degreaser and water and plenty of elbow grease 😆
