Hi Guys, new to forum

[525TOURING]

Need some 1 reliable to sort out my e39 that overheated? Suggestions?

Where are you based?

Welcome to the forums! Hope the car hasn't been overheating regularly? With E39's it's a fairly common issue though, you'll be best off replacing some parts:

• Thermostat

• Radiator Hosing

• Head Gasket

• Coolant flush

The same thing happened to my 525i last year sometime, the dealers set me back around R7k including a pressure test to make sure the head wasn't cracked. If you tell us where you based someone can recommend a workshop you can take the car to
