Something to tow the #racecar with

Rare beast.

Worth saving, previous owner, did not look after her, bit of coastal cancer
Been standing for awhile.

1997/1998 540i Touring , about 286000kms on the clock, which is not working.
Lots to fix, should keep dad busy for a few months

540i Touring certainly is rare :praise:

Please start a new thread for this car and keep us posted on the progress. Always keen to see these cars restored properly.

2001 E39 530i Auto 174k kms
Brought her at 172k kms and have done a bit of maintenance and restoration in the 2k kms so far

Cooling System:
- New radiator, water pump, expansion tank, fan clutch, thermostat, upper and lower radiator hoses, return hose and heater hose.

Motor:
- Replaced valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket.
- Replaced idler Pulley and water pump pulley

Service Items:
- Plugs, Fuel Filter, Air Filter, Oil Filter & Oil Service

Suspension:
- Solid all around except the tie rods which I will be doing over the weekend. I also have some upgrades in terms of the rear sway bar and some decent sport shocks and springs planned or even coil overs - Still shopping around for options.

Cosmetics:
- Headlight restoration including gloss clear coat
- Paint correction (still some minor sun fade to be sorted out as well and front and rear bumper respray)

All round she is in pretty good shape.

You will likely spend more than it is worth , E39 M5 is between 220 and 300 so you will need to be under that range.

Good afternoon gents.

I'm still quite new to the forum. I bought a 1999/2000 e39 528i manual a few months ago. I'm still learning a lot about these cars and trying to do DIY's as much as possible to learn a little more.

Recently replaced the clutch. Was wonder if anyone could point me in the direction of a "short shifter" as the throw feels extremely long.

I was also hoping someone here can tell me where I could find a new/used front bumper.

Any advise on what to keep an eye on mechanically? I would like to get the car back to its former glory.

Also, who supplies VANOS seals?

If anyone is willing to share some e39 knowledge with me, I'd really appreciate it.

I'll post pictures soon. Just need to get the car properly cleaned first.
