I have a 2003 540iAT. 139K, bought from the second owner (first owner was BMW itself!). Silver outside, blakc inside. 7 series comfort seats, Factory Nav (no DSP sound system sadly), moonroof, heated seats. I stopped driving it the moment I learned of the timing chain guide failure. Nervous but without the job being done, its a ticking time bomb from what I read...
I can. The repair from a specialist is easily $3-4K. The car's value, even in its unsalted, rust free condition I don't think is that... I intend to try to do the job as I've done small block Ford and 4.6 2 valve Ford timing jobs before. I already have the parts.
@@NickMyers1 Sounds like you know your way around an engine. Since it is a BMW and you likely know how they like to nickel and dime people to death, make sure the tools aren't more expensive than the shop's price lol. Good luck though braddah. Those BMW 4.0s are sweet. Especially in a silver/black, which was the same color as mine.
I abso-fucking-lutely LOVE this exact spec M5! That color is my favorite shade of blue! And the forged rims are perfect! You'd be a fool if you ever sold this iconic BMW M-Sport masterpiece! Twenty years from now, examples like yours are going to worth at least 4-5 times what they are now! If not more!
always loved all 2000-2005 M-cars and this is the perfect example, if i ever have the money for an E39 M5 or a E46 M3, i could only dream to have one is as good a condition as this example. amazing work and passion for your hobby mate, and you enjoy all the joy this car will bring you!
Thanks god, you've shown that you hammer suspension bolts in. I was having a misconception that some german engineering magic must've been happening in germany so you drive these bolts in with fingers only there. Not with the hammer like the rest of the world))) Nice to see it works the same way all over the globe))
I wish i lived in Germany. Imagine having a highway system where miles of it aren't limited by speed so you can go as fast as you can handle. Love the Autobahn!!
yeah its not that great there's always an AMG or Ford blocking the left lane and you're only allowed to overtake on the left lane otherwise you get a fine when the Police catches you. most of the time you come flying down the left lane with 210km/h to 250km/h or even more and then you have to slow down back to 100km/h to 130km/h if you're lucky than you speed up again and the circle continues. (250km/h - 155mph, 100km/h - 62mph).
This is only the 3rd video I am watching from you and I really feel the need to comment again. You really raise the bar on all these channels out there. In every little detail you show how things should be done. If its how to open bolts, how to torque them, (especially with suspension work and believe me, I saw "professional" workshops torquing them on the lift) even holding the steering wheel in a controlled but still relaxed manner when high speed driving. Not like all this show off dudes with their highspeedautobahnposerchannels and then seeing them with white knuckles cramping on the steering wheel. This is really a channel where people can learn something. Highly appreciated!
I really love the e39 M5 and personally I find to be the most beautiful sedan ever made. It has such a clean design, classic BMW. The e39 and the e46, which I own, are my favourite. Really enjoy your work, good luck! Greetings from Romania 🇷🇴
It is good to see a company that corrects its mistakes and stands by its customers as Lemforder has. That lift is also a wonderful device. The Germans have a sensible approach to speed , unlike Australia with its rigidly low speed limits. But you are fortunate to not have kangaroos there. I nearly hit one in my Chrysler SRT8 just yesterday , only 300m from home. They will wreck your day.
I admire your mechanical skills and the ability to go inside of components like fuel pumps and headlights that either need upgrading from low factory specs or otherwise completely s scrapped..... Very therapeutic to watch..... As a long term BMW lover and owner
My C300 Mercedes tops out at 250 km/hr and i recently pushed it to 250 (speedometer) on the Autbahn A5 from Frankfurt to Alsfeld. I used to drive that fast and faster in a Porsche 928, but now that I am almost 80 years old I really don't feel comfortable at those speeds. My reactions and reflexes are not up to it anymore. It's a shame because I always enjoy driving at high speeds, but it's no fun when I feel my muscles tightening up and knees shaking. Enjoy it while you can. I always enjoy your videos and although I've been working on cars all my life I still learn new things from watching you wrenching. Thanks for the videos.
Love how this thing sounds when it's revving out to 7k. Currently own an E39 530i that I manual swapped, I love it. It's just kinda slow, but very well balanced and fun to drive. I like to call it a four door Miata cause of its 50/50 weight distribution, and FR layout.
BMW is just Love, no one who drives an other car, can imagine why we bmw owner love our cars so much. No matter which problems are facing us. The feeling is different. Thats why we keep them alive, repair them and cherish them. These cars are just legendary and timeless!

Buying cars from Spain is great idea, especially southern Spain where climate is very dry. Here you will find cars without rust no matter what their age.
Fixing a car, making it right, then driving the wheels off it. Wonderful - exactly how it should be. I love many cars, but an E39 M5 has always been in my 5-car dream garage. 14:22 That sound!
E39 M5, a car that would make any BMW enthusiast crawl for miles to be able to drive it on a de-restricted autobahn or anywhere for that matter. Great video and editing; A real pleasure to watch and listen. I like the fact you torque your wheels. Attention to detail and quality work all the way. Wunderbach!
1. What a beautiful colourful for the M5. 2. What an incredible sound. 3. Yes!!! Long live the Autobahn!!!!! I am jealous. Keep up the great videos. Really enjoy them.
Car wasn't fully fueled up and fuel gauge indications depend on several different factors, so more about 20l/100km i guess, which is not that bad at all. 👍
Loved the twingo in the background! I had one for 3 years and i've done well over 60k km's with it. Even have done a Euro Trip for 23 days and over 10k kms! Was a nice cute lil car. Brought back my memories.. Awesome videos! keep them coming!
Did you know it is ILLEGAL to RUN OUT OF FUEL on the autobahn because it’s viewed as a preventable occurrence. It happened to James May in an episode of Top Gear and ended up getting "shot" as a result. You’d probably only get a fine
This video was the highlight of my day. I love your videos. It's hard to come across a BMW (or any car for that matter) that is meticulously cared for and maintained. Your E39 looks immaculate. These cars deserve care and superb attention to detail. You have done a great job! Keep up the great work.
Spectacular M5 and love watching your videos on repairing & restoring these beautiful and classic German Gems. You are an outstanding Master Technician and your videos are simple, straight, well executed and done right! Keep making them please Greetings from Belfast. Danke Schon.
I remember when this M5 was launched, but that is a while ago. Never driven one unfortunately in all those years. But if I see the acceleration it is still very impressive, not only for its age but also for today's standard. What a machine.
Very cool spannering again and glad that you were looked after with the control arm bushings. The autobahn blast makes me miss Germany so much ... so when the restrictions are lifted I’m coming to visit. You must be happy you grabbed that E39 just at the right time too ;). Well done mate
When I replaced the front thrust arms on my E34 a few years ago I upgraded to Powerflex bushes in both front control arms,and wow what a difference! The car feels rock solid and confident inspiring in the turns again, would recommend highly. It would be so cool to have access to the Autobahn on a daily basis. When I drove on it a long time ago the 320d that I rented was on winter tires so there was a sticker on the dash to not exceed 210km , needless to say I exceeded that a little bit,but could not believe what that car was capable of with that base model engine.
I live in Australia where we’re limited to 100km/hr. Last year I had the pleasure of driving a few thousand km on the autobahn and it’s one of the greatest driving experiences I’ve had 👍
There’s not such thing like Germans cars including the handling and the cars are isolated from outside and fun to drive around but in case of reliability not much but if you know how to fix them with the right equipment and tools then sir you have the golden hands love your videos fun to watch. much respect to you from Iraq
You total hooligan - keep up the good work. And more M5 videos please, so it will motivate me to get mine back on the road. It’s the same colour, wheels, trim, etc.
Just BRILLIANT - we watch all your Projects ! - You certainly love your cars as much as we love ours - Range Rovers 5.0 S/Charged Keep up the good work Fella Greetings from England
That jacking beam is a game changer, that makes that type of lift viable as an all purpose lift....better then those swing arms that seem to always in the way/NICE!
I was just waiting for you to use the impact tool to put your wheels back on like I see done in so many shops here in the USA. But no, you used the torque wrench like a good German mechanic. Hooray! I had a 2003 530i for a few years over 10 years ago. God, I loved that car.
I love that part of the A66. I live nearby and it has a straight line, almost always empty enough to be able to drive that fast and no limit. I always floor it there
Beautiful car. Audi owner learning about the E39. I love my RS6 manual conversion, Noggy, S4, A4 and even an old passat. Both makers have there talent and positives. I am appreciating more and more about this E39 workhorse. SUBSCRIBED!
I don't know about you guy's but for me as for the design is considered this is the most beautiful BMW (this series) that ever came out from the factory so far...
Fun to revisit these somewhat old videos. :-) Very clear to see and hear the progression and quality of your videos and presentation. Amazing development.
I’ve watched almost all of your videos with a lot of interest. You’re so good and calm while doing repairs and it’s just your hobby. I wish you was my mechanic, would be moneys worth 👍 keep it that way, love your humour too.
Another brilliant, entertaining little video. I am very impressed with your mechanical skills, and share the need to be thorough with service and repair work. The Twin Busch sounds like an invaluable addition to the garage. Keep it up, enjoy the road - Stay Safe!
Oulala Monsieur 😉. You are so gifted!! And the quality of your videos are outstanding... I guess you spend as much time restoring your BMWs than preparing your videos..
I have been waiting for this video 👍 My father in law has a floorheated workplace 20 times yours, but never room for me to work so full of his projects , so chapeau getting this done in such a small space!
Excellent videos and commentary. Your knowledge is astonishing, and a real delight to see and hear, your attention to detail and the delicate manner in which you re-assemble components is superb. The fact that you pay attention to the budget also is very reassuring. My E39 530d Touring (M sport) manual (over 350.000km) is being maintained, but nothing as detailed a restoration as you are showing here. Thank you for an entertaining evening :)
You have seen '32 Hours 7 Minutes' I hope? If not, it's a must watch for anyone who likes this car. I have wanted a blue e39 M5 ever since I watched it.

When you can do speeds in the grown up society which in the medieval rest would simply put you in jail. In this instance uk. Surreal.
Spectacular M5 and love watching your videos on repairing & restoring these beautiful and classic German Gems.
You are an outstanding Master Technician and your videos are simple, straight, well executed and done right!
Keep making them please
Greetings from Belfast.
Danke Schon.
The way Sreten works ,records and explains is art 👍👍
I remember when this M5 was launched, but that is a while ago. Never driven one unfortunately in all those years. But if I see the acceleration it is still very impressive, not only for its age but also for today's standard. What a machine.
Very cool spannering again and glad that you were looked after with the control arm bushings. The autobahn blast makes me miss Germany so much ... so when the restrictions are lifted I’m coming to visit. You must be happy you grabbed that E39 just at the right time too ;). Well done mate
When I replaced the front thrust arms on my E34 a few years ago I upgraded to Powerflex bushes in both front control arms,and wow what a difference! The car feels rock solid and confident inspiring in the turns again, would recommend highly. It would be so cool to have access to the Autobahn on a daily basis. When I drove on it a long time ago the 320d that I rented was on winter tires so there was a sticker on the dash to not exceed 210km , needless to say I exceeded that a little bit,but could not believe what that car was capable of with that base model engine.
I live in Australia where we’re limited to 100km/hr. Last year I had the pleasure of driving a few thousand km on the autobahn and it’s one of the greatest driving experiences I’ve had 👍
There’s not such thing like Germans cars including the handling and the cars are isolated from outside and fun to drive around but in case of reliability not much but if you know how to fix them with the right equipment and tools then sir you have the golden hands love your videos fun to watch. much respect to you from Iraq
You total hooligan - keep up the good work. And more M5 videos please, so it will motivate me to get mine back on the road. It’s the same colour, wheels, trim, etc.
Just BRILLIANT - we watch all your Projects ! - You certainly love your cars as much as we love ours - Range Rovers 5.0 S/Charged
Keep up the good work Fella
Greetings from England
That jacking beam is a game changer, that makes that type of lift viable as an all purpose lift....better then those swing arms that seem to always in the way/NICE!
BMW E39 M5 and an Autobahn is the best way to do your social distancing! Great video as always!
Beautiful car. Textbook repair demonstration. Fun ride! E-39 forever!
I was just waiting for you to use the impact tool to put your wheels back on like I see done in so many shops here in the USA. But no, you used the torque wrench like a good German mechanic. Hooray!
I had a 2003 530i for a few years over 10 years ago. God, I loved that car.
Despite the high speed and obvious danger, there is a "serenity" about driving like that.... Great Videos
I love that part of the A66. I live nearby and it has a straight line, almost always empty enough to be able to drive that fast and no limit. I always floor it there
Wonderful tutorial and great work you do, absolutely loved the high speed road trip, more road test's please!
Loved this, and fabulous car, thank you.
Beautiful car. Audi owner learning about the E39. I love my RS6 manual conversion, Noggy, S4, A4 and even an old passat. Both makers have there talent and positives. I am appreciating more and more about this E39 workhorse. SUBSCRIBED!
Impeccable video.......Those M runs were incredible astonishing work!
This is the only M5 I’d like to have, amazing car, and well done on its upgrading, and all else. Amazing car.
NIce and relaxing - watching some tuning of a fine classic M5! Great way to forget about the world!
Nema šta. Mašina. Voziš najbolji Bmw ikad napravljen.
I don't know about you guy's but for me as for the design is considered this is the most beautiful BMW (this series) that ever came out from the factory so far...
Omg what a car, the sound and pickup in car must be incredible.
It's so stable at high speed. One of the best build cars ever.
Hands down, my all time favorite headlights (styling-wise) can be found on the E39 M5. Keep it reeeeel!
You have done a very good job in this E39 M5. Love the blue colour. Hope to see more. Thanks for sharing. 👏🏾
Fun to revisit these somewhat old videos. :-) Very clear to see and hear the progression and quality of your videos and presentation. Amazing development.
I’ve watched almost all of your videos with a lot of interest. You’re so good and calm while doing repairs and it’s just your hobby. I wish you was my mechanic, would be moneys worth 👍 keep it that way, love your humour too.
Listen to that sweet music under hard acceleration and not a fake engine noise generator in sight!
Beschleunigt Sehr, sehr geschmeidig. Ich entspanne mich immer, wenn ich mir deine DIY-Tutorials ansehe. Genial!
Another brilliant, entertaining little video. I am very impressed with your mechanical skills, and share the need to be thorough with service and repair work. The Twin Busch sounds like an invaluable addition to the garage. Keep it up, enjoy the road - Stay Safe!
Good DIY and fun, safe driving video. Cheers from USA. I have an e39 530i Sport with a little extra and it would be fun to drive the Autobahn!
Oulala Monsieur 😉. You are so gifted!! And the quality of your videos are outstanding... I guess you spend as much time restoring your BMWs than preparing your videos..
For an IT guy you are a very good mechanic.
I have ae46 m3 with wheel wobble when braking. I was about to renew brake discs, but will check this, great channel
A sporty looking and elegant car, rare combination.
I have been waiting for this video 👍 My father in law has a floorheated workplace 20 times yours, but never room for me to work so full of his projects , so chapeau getting this done in such a small space!
Excellent videos and commentary. Your knowledge is astonishing, and a real delight to see and hear, your attention to detail and the delicate manner in which you re-assemble components is superb. The fact that you pay attention to the budget also is very reassuring. My E39 530d Touring (M sport) manual (over 350.000km) is being maintained, but nothing as detailed a restoration as you are showing here. Thank you for an entertaining evening :)
Love your videos man, saved it last night so I could watch it this morning, greetings from Romania, keep the videos coming up !
You have seen '32 Hours 7 Minutes' I hope? If not, it's a must watch for anyone who likes this car. I have wanted a blue e39 M5 ever since I watched it.
People can learn so much from this Man ...
