I was shocked when you got the OEM badges & kidneys. Most of the “youtubers” go for the ugly black badges & kidneys, but finally somebody kept it as original as possible! Love that

[@vicfixit3504]

@@sumi7366 thanks! I love oem personally and try to steer away from the aftermarket badges and kidney grill.

[@startingtech3900]

the kidneys in gloss black arent ugly but everything else has to be oem but yeah on my 540i 6 speed manual in black i went oem silver

Great job even though you skipped a must-do thing on that car: throwning in a new set of Hella headlights or at least wet sand and polish the old ones...That would almost cost nothing, but make a huge difference! Headlights are the face of the car and if that does not look mint, that would be a let down for the potential buyer....

@@DustyPearl-NFL thank you 🙏, the bodyshop did sand them down and clear coated them. Since they are original, that’s the best condition they came out.

Great car, love e39ns and must be fun owning a m5 version off them. But personaly, it would be better Off with getting new tint from b pillar and back to make it look more sportier and mote modern/ up to date and prevents people to could be able to look at you from all sides, but also new facelift hella headlights cause much better complete look off the car and better light vision at night 👍 other then that it came put pretty good💯

Vic - really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. Two thoughts - did you clean the hubs before mounting the new discs ? If not, you might end up with brake judder again, as the discs may not sit flat on the hub. I would also invest in a torque wrench to avoid overtightening 😉

[@vicfixit3504]

@@broomad thanks for checking out the video. Yes the hubs were cleaned before installing the disc along with a little anti-seize lubricant. I regularly use my torque wrench but could agree to use it on every bolt.

I feel like it sold a little on the cheap side. I think it should have fetched at least 25k

Lol u can't base the value of something based off the ASKING price on ebay. Also have u ever tried to ship a motor? Ur not using UPS which means ur dealing with freight shipping so good luck finding one who is interested in shipping ONE motor. People can ask anything they want on ebay, u need to filter out "sold items" and do some research on shipping costs

[@vicfixit3504]

@@christophpichler5175 E39 M5 that were made prior to 03/2000 are to use 10W-60 TSW Oil. Cars that were made after 03/2000 started to use 5W-30. My vehicle is a 05/2000 but I felt 5W-30 is just to thin. After reading a lot on the subject on M5 forums, the majority of E39 M5 owners from that production range use Liqui Moly 5W-40.
