@chriscobra2339 where I'm at they're typically cheaper for a full set, I sold them to a buddy for 575

@imtiazahmed2147 Amazon wont let me copy the link but I believe it's a fexon brand rear camera, there's a few companies that basically make the same thing.

@TrueKJ7 thank you! The intake is on cosmoracing.com just go to intakes, cold air intakes, then just scroll for the e39 ones

@@limestonemax9949 Found it, thanks bro!

@user-nw7kf6nl2y they arent really comparable since the z is a racecar at this point and the e39 is just a good handling daily driver

@@SirQueefy plug and play you'll just have to calibrate the compass probably, just cause it'll get disconnected

@@limestonemax9949 hellllllll naahhhhh its way too high and too the right looks goofy

Must be a different trunk then idk it came like that haha

@hating_haider thanks man the blue is nice though! Either way the 530 is a great car as long as you take care of it

@SW-uy1kr thank you for the support, I do my best to take care of it like it deserves after all it's done for me

@eakmadashma appreciate the support, I'm always on the hunt for stuff to retrofit so when I found out about the mirror I had to get one

@@aljosaaleksic9787 I appreciate the support

@@Drkbimmer this video was just a cold air intake, fully stock exhaust

can't wait 🙏🙏

@E39Key i used red loctite and safety wire on my pump nut when I resealed the oil pan as well👍 even took the car to the racetrack recently and had no issues

@ beautiful brother, you’re solid, glad you knew what to do

@Junior_A95 this was extremely last minute I had no plans on filming initially I was just going to grab some parts

@thekidbart4528 i dont think they're the same but they're both Chinese or Taiwanese or whatever so I wouldn't doubt them being extremely similar

@HaiderAli-oi5fm you should look into getting one i always wanted one eventually and this fell into my lap and I couldn't pass it up. It's been an amazing first bmw experience and a big change from the nissans I'm used to

@charlestaylor6883 sorry to hear about your 530, at least you've got that v8 power now! I'm awful at filming my work since I get so focused on working but I'll try to at least post a good update soon a ton has changed on the car

@oliverh1 truly an amazing car with the m54b30

@timvree824 its really surprising to me the amount of people that seem to own these 2 cars

@@limestonemax9949 maybe because both of them are very nice cars the e39 especially as a daily :D greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

@timvree824 nice to know i have viewers from all over! Cheers to some great cars

It weighs 3500lbs and makes 230hp it's not a fast car, it's not slow but definitely not fast

How fast a car goes at the top of each gear doesn't mean that it's a fast car Economy cars (VW Polo for ex) have super long gears and their slow as shit

@@nvl2691 believe me, e39 530i is a fast car. It smokes alot of new cars still..

@@Itachi8179 I had one 3 months ago. They're not fast by any means, but they're not slow either

@@nvl2691 dunno, it depends on a gearbox and a driver. Rarely getting passed on a road. Love this car. Its not a v8 sure, but i6 is very smooth engine.

@thomaschristopherwhite9043 i bought it at near 165k. I've since put 25k miles on it and all I've done maintenance wise to the engine is a water pump, thermostat, and resealed the oil pan and oil filter housing just becuase they had been leaking. Parts are relatively cheap and with websites like fcp euro you're getting a lifetime on EVERYTHING even maintenance items like brake pads and oil. Like you said take car of them they'll take care of you, if you get one I'd suggest you just inspect it once a month and make sure you arent leaking anything and that all looks good, following maintenance schedules is a little more necessary than a Japanese car like a Toyota or Nissan. If you want straight reliability I'd say get any of the inline 6 ones I know the 540s can be very finicky and give you issues. If you do get one I suggest getting a lower temp thermostat in it, it'll put a lot less stress on the cooling system and you'll have far less a chance any of the plastic bursts. If you get a manual one they're great and very reliable. Not to mention they are built really well and pretty simple to work on if you're mechanical inclined

@thomaschristopherwhite9043 also mine has no service history, when I did the water pump and thermostat they were oe parts, so they lasted about 170k miles. When you do replace things on these I do recommend oem or equivalent though, autozone parts will generally fail over and over and leave you with a bad experience

@@limestonemax9949 Thanks a lot man! I really really love the look of these cars. Especially given what BMW are designing now a days. I wanna get one before they eventually get pricey. Just wanted to know if they were a pain in the ass to an unreasonable level which I guess this is when BMWs really made things to last. But thanks anyway! Appreciate the time you spent writing a very detailed advice.

@thomaschristopherwhite9043 of course man good luck on your search. You can still find pretty cheap ones now

dont buy 540

@Park370z thanks boss hope to see you at the next event

@@startingtech3900 I just got lucky with somebody trying to get rid of it before moving

Lets see some upgraded cams and other internals!!!

feel like a mixture of updates, installs, and changes would be nice. And please more outside footage of the z maybe canyon runs with friends would be sick as fuck too

@designed. everybody I had driven the canyons with stopped unfortunately and I'm always trying to get more outside footage its just hard since im a one man production. Definitely will be doing more installs and updates though

I want to see it all probably more than you guys do haha. I plan on building the spare engine with all of that stuff and getting it swapped in at some point

@terellethomas8051 it's cosmoracing.com it's basically just a copy of a dinan intake, they may ship you one that doesn't put it in the bumper and just puts it in the engine bay still. That's what they sent me and I added some more tubing to get it in the bumper, I talked about it in the $1000 e39 update video

Thank you for your response bro. I've been trying to find the Dinan one but it's discontinued and very hard to find

@terellethomas8051 yes and when you do find them they're not the cheapest. I'm glad to help!

@tafariyoung1729 I have no idea honestly, I haven't gotten a good lock at style 32s but I know they forsure won't clear with no spacer

@alexmair3613 thank you! That is one of the reasons I'm really happy I got an m54 car but occasionally I do really wish I had the power and sound of the v8 cars

@@limestonemax9949 The M54 is a tractor of an engine too :/ Driving one of the newer gen engines (N52 / N62) really makes you realise how antiquated the M5X and M6X platform feels in an E39 or E53, even E46

@nvl2691 ill take the simplicity of an m54 over the n52 in this case, even though the n52 is a great engine is wouldn't mind owning a car with one at some point

@@limestonemax9949 Honestly, having owned and pretty much redone everything on both, the N52 is simpler and objectively more reliable. It has literally no vacuum lines, the CCV is simpler and better designed, the VANOS system is more efficient and doesn't need a rebuild, and the Valvetronic components are very reliable. The M54 literally has a lot more going on in the engine bay. And driving them, well, numbers speak for themselves. A healthy N52 feels like an S54 in terms of character, the M54 is a lot less enthusiastic in general despite having very good torque

Well it and get a 530i m54 and do the basic performance upgrades all your losing is the V8 sound that's it

@marioenzo29 It's just the factory cluster with silver overlays to look like it, I always liked silver clusters and had to open it to fix the pixels anyways

@@limestonemax9949 Amazing! Would you mind telling me from where did you order that overlay? Been searching for them but came only into low quality chinese ones. Thank You!

@marioenzo29 I think the website was germanautotech.com, I tried ebay at first but was sent an overlay for an e46 instead, same company makes the e39 one though it's still cheap but it seems decent in the cluster

@@limestonemax9949 many thanks

@alexissalguero5751 yes i had to do the oil pan gasket and while I was there I put red loctite on the pump nut and wire tied it to the gear

@@t20sgrunt36 yep that can be done as well

@user-dg5ni5yt6p yes very grateful with the chance to get one so cheap, it's been a really good car

@user-ki4llalm6kr modern odometers can't be rolled back. I'm basing my mileage guess based off of documentation throughout the cars entire life and the fact it's 2 owner and I can faintly see 190k ish on the cluster. This car is no more then 200k guaranteed with the condition of everything on it
