I've finally bought my BMW E39 520i | EvoMalaysia.com

- After many years of dreaming and a good few months of hunting, I've finally landed myself a BMW 5 Series (E39). The car is a 2003 520i, among the final batch production built locally at the AMIM plant in Shah Alam before the E60 rolled in.
For starters, the car was bought from a used car dealer in Bandar Sunway .. a highly pleasant experience. Salesman was honest with the car's condition and responsive to enquiries.
The car transacted at a price of RM24k including road tax and insurance.
I've had to pump in a further RM3k at Wearnes to fix the following
- engine oil change
- cylinder head gasket
- spark plugs (x6)
- ignition coils (x6)
- rear brake pads
- undercarriage covers
Car is also in need of new tyres and, further down the road, refurbishment of the front suspension.
More videos will be forthcoming as I document my journey of ownership with this car.

Bmer bros 🤗🤔
Thanks for your support and encouragement bro!
@@KonWaiLuen what about bringing your bimmer to ulu yam? 27/10 at 8.30am? Message me if can......ill definitely join you guys!
@@pareshchelliah1468 27/10 i'll be going to Sabah. Next round?
@@aresmatthew thanks bro. I try. Haha
Pls always update your ownership about this car :)
Wow congratulation Kon! Can’t wait to watch more videos bout your new car!
Congratulation Kon, I know that feeling of finally getting a dream car. Can’t wait to see videos on it.
Congrats Kon as a car enthusiast giving life to used cars👌🏼 Aurizn team is my inspiration to buy and give second life this kind of greatest used car
Tahniah brader kon . I wish u have a great time with your new car
Congrats on your purchase. Similarly like you ....big fan of Honda and Subaru and finally got myself the E39 this month as well.
Excellent choice sir. I hope you're happy with your purchase. Looking forward for future videos featuring this machine
More to come. Stay tuned!
Congrats Kon! She looks great! If i may, I would recommend you stick to the 16" wheels purely because they give the car a clean, unmolested, factory look. Cheers!
Congratulations on your buy, Sir! I own an E39 523i built in 1998 which has done so far 233000 km without any problems. I guess I will never sell this car because of the wonderful inline 6 - cylinder and the overall outstanding quality of the e39. Best wishes! AM
Nice! Your 523i is single or double VANOS?
@@KonWaiLuen I guess it must be a double VANOS, so far 233.000 km without any
problems, no rust, no rattles.
Congratulation Kon, never see you so exciting and happy before lol
Hi Kon i like your videos, this is the third one i am watching, good man keep it up
Congratulations,Mr Kon! Enjoy your new ride ;)
congratulations kon, I do really enjoyed to watch this, tak puas tengok... keep update! 😉
More to come, boss. More to come.
Congrats Kon. The passion in you is real. Look forward to seeing more E39 video from you.
More to come for sure.
What a beautiful piece.. well done brother Kon!!:)) So happy for u. Can’t wait to see more updates!
Stay tuned!
Congrats Kon, finally you got the E39 beast, the ultimate driving machine. By the way, you got a very very mint condition E39 ;)
You can already hear how lovely that 6 cylinder sounds from the video. Congrats on the purchase Kon, what a beauty.
A mis-firing 6-cylinder when the video was recorded.
Hi Kon,Congrats on your purchase. 20 years on and the E39 is still an extremely handsome looking car. Other than the things that were changed in this video, you also need to check the following items; 1 - Cooling system, critical if you have no history of this from the previous owner, Check/replace all hoses, replace thermostat, replace water pump and its pulley, replace the radiator, replace the expansion tank. 2 - Check/replace the serpentine belt, check/replace the idler pulley, check/replace the tensioner pulley. 3 - Replace all fluids ie. automatic trans, power steering, brake fluid, engine oil (which you've done), differential fluid. 4. Fuel filter. 5. Check all suspension bushes front and rear including roll bar bushes and links, absorber mounting front and rear. 6. Check engine, transmission and differential bushes. 7. Check steering linkage/coupler. 8. Check drive shaft flexdisk (possiblly worn rubber coupling). 9. Check for vacuum leaks ie.check/replace all the rubber hoses connected to the inlet manifold. 10. Check for oil leaks at the oil pan, power steering rack, oil filter housing which is mounted and mated to the front part of the engine block. 11. Check the DISA valve. 12. Check for leaky (oily) hose to the VANOS. 13. Check the tie rods rubber boots at front suspension. 14. Check the rear wheels rubber boots shafts....These are the ones that i could think of based on my experience with the e36...yes, lots to be on the lookout for an aged bimmer, but if the intention is to enjoy it and keep it for sometime these may be worthwhile. Cheers and have fun.
Thanks for the tips. Tallies with my research thus far. Forgot to mention that the V-Belts were changed as well.
The Wearnes team found no leaks beyond what has already been spotted. Next items to look at will be the front suspension.. a few arms have worn bushes.
Will definitely flush out and replace all fluids within this year.
whoaaaa!!!! so detailed!! you're awesome man!!
Congrats Kon on your new car.
Congrats Kon. I know how it feels like to finally get the car you longed for. Enjoy the ride.
Thanks, will do!
Congrats kon excited for the coming content of this car
Congratulation with your new car..! Im really interested in following your journey through this car. 👍🏻
Thanks. Stay tuned!
Nice car! Hope for more videos about that car! Especially maintenance for this car
That's the objective. Stay tuned
Absolutely fetching E39, Kon! So happy for you, and envious at the same time hahaha. Congrats buddy, you deserved it!
Come come, let's go shopping together. :)
Good information as always man good job 🙂
Can't wait for next update! Congratulations Mr. Kon!
Thanks!
Congratulations Mr Kon. I can see how excited you are having your dream car.
Thanks! Have been dreaming of this for sometime.
nice video dude. keep on the good work. to be honest, i also was a mitsu fanboy.. but, as i grown up, i start to like bmw. haha
I subscribed! Nice video, im a big fan of BMW and i own an E60. i haven't done anything to it yet but after this i'd deffinetely consider
Haha. What are you looking at?
Congratulations Kon!
Congrats finally... Since you replace head gasket why don't consider fully overhaul all the bearing and seal in the engine.... Peace of mind. Or in plan to swap bigger engine.. v8 can be fit in too...
Congrats, Kon-san.
Lovely spec, smart classic BMW look. :)
Thanks!
Congrats. The lure of a sweet inline 6 was too strong to resist. Of course, upgrade first to 17, or even 18 inch rims if you can.
Congrats Bro! Really happy to see your dreams come true!
Welcome Conti Gang !👍
-W204 Owner-
Thanks!
WOW congrats Kon ! this bm condition is great !
Thanks!
Seems Asia got the orange tail lights. I changed mine over to a set of factory Hella clear turn signal Euro style tail lights. HUGE difference.
Also, a boot lid lip spoiler, same as M5 really looks good. They sell them already painted titanium silver same your car on eBay, like $40. Both look great and are still original factory type stuff.
Great to hear that you finally bought your dream car!
Thanks man!
Same here. I didn't grow up as a bmw fan, but rather a skyline fanboy, until bmw launched the e60 m5. That was the car that made me love bmw so much right till this day😀 nice to see that you finally bought the car you've always wanted to have👍
E60 M5s are super affordable now. *hint hint
I love the E60 very much too. I'll be happy to settle for base model 520i
Very nice. Congrats on your courage!
Thanks! Something I've wanted to do for a long time.
Congrats, Kon. U took the bulls by the horns.
Congrats man. Hope the car serves you well.
Thanks! I hope so too.
Nice classic bmw...congrats Kon!
Thanks!
Power lah kon! Memang terbaik! Congrats on the new acquisition! 👍🏻
Terima kasih bro!
Congratulation for the Beemer purchase. Great to hear there are still people out there still willing to own this beauty.
Thanks! Have been wanting to get one for many years already.
congratulations on your purchase kon....i think you should just keep the tyre size, if you upsize the wheels than you will sacrifice some cushion and it also add more stress to your suspension components
I m going 235/45 R17 with 17" x 8J wheels. These are still factory recommended sizes, so should be okay for the suspension and driveline. Many E39s out there have pushed to 18, which I m reluctant to go.
Well done dude! Congrats!
Just like you I never grew up dreaming of a BMW. It was always Mercedes!
However, over the years, I really came to admire the BMW 320i E30. It’s just that the horror stories of used BMW’s has stopped me.
By the way, handsome looking car bro! 😎
Thanks Philip! Quite a few E30s in the market now, but mostly 318s rather than 320s la.
Kon Wai Luen you r right dude! 😉
Thx for the reminder 😁
congrats
Congratulations! Please always update the ownership of this car
Will do. Thanks!
congrats kon on the new car. but pls post the cost of this car so we can all have an idea how much it will cost if we want to get cars like this. cheers
Congrates on your new ride. I’m always amaze with 2nd hand conti car owners, i knew a few which is close to me. Pls share your experience and some tips on costing to owned a 2nd hand conti car. This is a good channel of knowledge for those who dream to owned a conti car buy can’t afford to buy a new one.

That's the plan. Hope to share my experience. Stay tuned for more vids.
Congrats Kon :) Hope u enjoy in your latest car

U got a fine Car man.... i love the E39 too
Thanks!
Congrats Mr. Kon. Change your rims to 17 inch
Congrats in getting your dream car. I am still searching for my 2002tii...
Wah... that one will be a lengthy search. Not many units around.
Congrats Kon !!!
Congratulations! E39s are BMW's evergreen model. Still so pleasing to the eyes. My dream car when I was younger.

Congrats to you on ur new purchase ..my all time dream E39 as well ..so eagerly to get one since watching this video..CKD is much 'safer' rite than the CBU in E39 range ? Since it's in superb mint condition, any plans to souped it up to M5 body kit ?
Hahaha.. Keeping the stock look as is, except for a set of Style 66 rims. The way this thing moves.... err.. .malu lah, to put M Sport body.

BMW is a messy car. Kereta manja. Spare part mahal. Sebab tu 2nd value jatuh teruk.
Minta share bro pengalaman pakai kereta ini. Tq

Congratz Kon !! Im interested to know the price of changing undercarriage covers. Mine totally same as yours. And also hope to see more vid of ur E39 after refurbish and also the upgraded wheels .
Total about RM600 for both sides.
Congrats Kon. Good car.
Thanks!
Congratulation kon with the new car you look really atas...And I hope you can keep the originality of this car...btw congrats konn
asnawi hamzah yup. Ah Pek taste 😂
Jd fd.. Hahahaha
Kon , what’s the estimated maintainance cost for a 528i year 2013 for another 3 years and what are the big items to look out for?
Hi Kon,bravo , thanks for the great helpful video = ) ,really enjoy it, the E39 is a great tough D segment , from the video i can see the car's condition is superb, very quiet interior , just a minor service, its a great buy = ) ,i am looking for 1 also , mayb the e39 525 , slightly more pickup = ) , just curious where did u bought yours from ,which used car ? = )
I bought mine from the corner used car lot at Bandar Sunway along LDP. You can't miss it if you're coming from Puchong toll.
Thanks for the fast reply ..Kon , enjoy your new ride = ) and also your future upgrades = )
I got a 99' e39 520i yesterday, mine is dark grey. Beautiful car.
Congrats! Enjoy the car!
@@KonWaiLuen Thanks man :)
congrat......pls share more about the tiny problem of this car...scare alot break down
Thus far, okay la. Nothing you dont expect for a 15 year old car. Collected the car with a mis-firing engine, which was rectified by new plugs and coil packs. Otherwise, smooth running
Finally! Congratulations and welcome to the old bimmer club.
Thanks! What do you drive?
E39 525i
Congratulations Kon! I recently switch to Conti car also, hope will not be a bad experience for owning a conti car in my life .
Sometimes, if we like it enough, just have to make that leap of faith and go for it. What did you get?
A Volks Jetta 1.4 TSI 7 speed DSG . LOL... people says it is a very problematic car.
Congratulations on your 6 cyclinder!!!!!
Thanks!
Congrats
Thanks!
Beautiful car. The looks will last for many more years to come as compared to the later models. I miss mine
Still looks modern and up to date!
How long ago you sold yours? And what are you driving these days?
Sold it off 2 years ago. Now no car because I moved to hk
Hi Kon, I need your opinion on this. Someone offered me his 1997 E39 525i Single Vanos for RM9k. Now the question is, should I go for it or look for a final batch unit like yours? Appreciate if you could provide some guidance. Thanks!
Cool bro.. I bought my 5 series from the same dealer.. sat in your car too.. ;)
Nice. Which version of the 5 Series you bought?
Kon Wai Luen 528i msports f10, the one before g30..
Kon . I really like this car . The ekzos sound so good .. one of my dream car
The engine was actually mis-firing when this video was recorded. Haha.
Great post! Now I also sam yuk yuk wanna get a used conti... Gonna dig all your instructional videos... Search carlist, call up dealer, call up Wearnes, don't pay anything until you see the car and registration card...
Go for it man!
