My E39 had problems the previous owner was not willing to disclose before sale, whether out of ignorance or malice I don't know. So here I am, glued to these restoration videos :) I have lots of gaskets to replace this summer! (I'm jealous he's getting to meet a hero in return for his donation to the channel.)

I replaced the entire suspension on it, it was fairly easy, I followed his e38 suspension rebuild video as geometry of two cars are similar

We had that "winter cold start it runs on 4 or 5 cylinders till you rev it" issue on our 520i as well: Turned out to be the hydraulic tappets "overfilling" somehow and letting the valves not close fully. We found out when the battery was especially low one morning and it didn´t start right away. On further cranking and jump starting it then one by one lost compression on all the cylinders.... Obviously a bit worried, but the old Meister at our shop knew that issue: He let the car warm up a bit inside and just cranked it till squeezed the oil out and stumbled itself back into life. On diffenrent oil now and its never missed a beat since then. I still love that slow boat :D

I have an e39 530d touring that used to be owned by the city of Hamburg, individual as well with all the options, it’s now in Finland and is pretty much a parts car, turbo leaks oil, injectors leak, has a tiny bit of rust, and a bunch of parts. If you ship it, you can keep it. Has pretty much all the options, 2003, only missing the hydraulic boot, and has the air suspension removed. Also has leather everywhere, transmission tunnel and doors, etc. also xenon lights you could switch in.

It was such a good car, i was stupid for getting rid of it! It still has less than 200.000 km on it and the guy who bought it from me in may of 2016 still has it and is the third real owner. The car was VERY clean and with zero faults.

I think you're going to fall in love with it. I honestly think you should keep it with your fleet. I love that colour combo, absolutely stunning! I once got a free 523 Touring in Cosmos Black with light gelb 07LG interior. It was MOT'd, (UK equivalent to TUV). A free car is always good. A free e39 is somthing un heard off these days. I've owned 4 Tourings, 3 I still have owned only 1 Limo. I also have a 99 Cosmos Black 740i My first ever BMW and one I still have and adore to this day is my 1997 528i Touring. It's a factory Manual in Calypso Red with beige interior. Huge spec with comforts, heated seats, nappa leather, blinds, nav, TV, DSP, phone, PDC, genuine oris tow hitch, sliding trunk floor Style 32's and Xenons to name a few. Auto dip mirror and rain sensitive wipers as standard on UK 528i's. It's currently a rolling shell as its going through a full nut & bolt restoration at my own leisure. Not only was this my first BMW, It also was my first car. 2 previous owners, last owner 13 years. I've owned it 10 years. I have every invoice and original bill of sale with brocure, and accessories catalogue from 97.

31:15 - if you are not going to repair the rusty spots properly I can higly recommend you a paint which is put ON the rust - ELASTOMETAL. Myself didn't believe it might work but I painted the rusty fender edges and some of the bottom parts in my 18 year old astra few years ago and it seems to really work! The rust which was covered with this paint didn't "grow" and the rest of the steel parts is strong and healthy under the paint. Try it out - especially on such a car, where you say no additional proper body reparation is planned.

At 110 mph I'd swear I was sitting on a large rock with no wind noise. The most stable and smooth running car I ever owned. Better than my current mercedes e320. I did put new brakes on it and changed oil and plugs. The car was solid with no squeaks and rattles. Lost it at the end of 07.

Paid 1K for it and spent another 2-3K overhauling suspension, cooling system, fixing oil leaks, also retrofitted heated sports seats and an XTRONS android head unit. Drives brilliantly now and absolutely loving it! The E39 is a great car. The blitzer app takes care of the speed cameras btw.

I love my E39 touring 530d m sport, bought it in Dusseldorf (i live in Norway) in 2010 it had 148 000 km on the clock, now its passed 400 000 km. Its gotten great maintenence. Currently sits in my garage for rust repair in the wheel arch, but under it looks super nice. Its has stock look with orginal m sport roof wing and Rondell 0021's in 18" 8.5 front and 10" rear, legally approved by the whatever its called in english in Norway. :-P Funny story, my dad owns a 98 525 tds touring, also bought in Germany in 2000, he still owns it and loves it. But i has bought a new car now, a 2017 540i sedane, with m sport and alot of cool stuff. But he still insists that the E39 is better to drive, so much better to sit in, he also claims its more silent inside. And it has a proper servo rack and not the electric crap like the 540i has.. I dont think i ever gonna sell mine, i have a feeling that would have haunted me for the rest of my life.

I bought my 525i touring South Africa import in UK roughly 7 years as go. It had 170k miles, now it's on 250k (miles!) And still going strong. I love this car, I swapped b30 in and done ton of work but I absolutely love doing every mile in it. LPG converted made it easy and cheap to run compared to even diesel cars, and I have no worries driving it at any speed. I tried different cars but I always come back to this one as it's part of family I absolutely love it. You can tell you are big fan too!

e39 Touring = brilliant car. I love your treatment of the Depo headlights and agree that the e39 touring is so much better than the e46 touring (and I like the e46, but the e39 is just so much better). It’s definitely an oddball specification with the individual interior, yet basic wheels; that interior trim is very special though. As always, looking forward to seeing this one progress 👍

This was from an era when BMW relied on pure engineering, quality of components and classic design cues to sell cars. And built timeless classics as a result. Then they did a 'Boeing 737MAX' and went all electronic where even the horn push is an ECU and they thought having timing chains on the BACK of an engine was pure genius. And they wonder why the BMW reputation is in the crapper. Lucky man getting hold of one of these classics.

Love the Tourings I'm on my second one. Had a E34 m60 1995 and now a E39 m52 with 120.000 Kms. Had the engine oil and filter changed and transmission filter end fluid changed. IMO there's no other BMW. I have pictures of both of them.

Loved it. I was thinking. Back in the day you have to buy the cars and work on 2-3 projects in the same time. Now you receive it for free and you have to have an entire logistics to keep a clean eye on every project.

Turn signals are not needed when driving a BMW, since everyone around you is receding in the rear view mirror, there's no chance they would be in near you as you change lanes past them.

Would love to see this old icon restored, I think it would be worth it after you're done with the other projects. These models are becoming more and more rare every year, and if you now fix all the rust and maybe protect the rest of the car from rusting, it could be a beautiful addition to your collection, plus a great, long lasting daily.

Hiya, I had a m52 motor in my e36 328i and it was also losing water. No signs of leaks and water wasn't mixing with the oil either. Long story short, the garage I took my car to, to get a new head gasket fitted used the same head bolts when they did the replacement. Turns out those bolts are stretch bolts and a new set was needed. (found this out after giving up and selling the car) so if all else fails, check that.

You are presenting the best car restoration videos, I would say in the whole world, and that too you are based out of Germany, of course, that brings a lot of extra value to your videos like the "Made In Germany" brand, the ultimate benchmark. By sitting in India I always dream about using a German-made BMW or Merc, even though you were using a small garage the tools, the parts you replace, even though the nuts & bolts, everything would be the best in the world. I used to watch all your videos, thank you.
