DIY: BMW E39 Fender Removal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2024
- Video tutorial on how to remove the front fender on a BMW E39 body style. There is another couple bumper styles which are found on the face lifted and M Technic versions. So removal of the front section of fender liner may vary slightly. This video does demonstrate how to remove the fender liner and also gain access to the washer fluid reservoir found in the passenger side fender well. This tutorial was done on a 1997 BMW 540i preface lift with the standard bumpers correct for this year.

Procedure:
-first start by running some painters tape around the adjacent panels to ensure the paint doesn't get chipped during the removal
-jack the vehicle up, remove the wheel using the 17mm socket on the johnson/breaker bar, then ensure the vehicle is secure by placing in the jack/axle stand
-remove all the 8mm bolts (locations are shown in video) using the 3/8" drive ratchet with the 3" extension
-the front section of the fender liner behind the bumper is not required to be removed
-pull down on the fender liner towards the engine side, then slowly work the edges out
-remove the 10mm bolts where access can be gained from the inside of the fender well (locations shown on video)
-next open the door and remove the one 10mm bolt at the top of the fender in the door jamb
-remove the rubber barrier on the one side of the windshield by pulling out directly
-remove the 10mm bolt hidden behind that rubber barrier
-remove the torx bolts using a T30, starting from the front of the vehicle by the headlight, moving back towards the hood hinge
-remove the front 13mm bolt on the hood hinge(if working with the passenger side, then the 10mm bolt with the wire is required to be remove first, then using a wrench to remove that 13mm bolt)
-loosen the rear 13mm bolt

9yr old vid and still top link on yt. Exellent tut. Not excessively wordy at 12 mins like someone else suggest. Just fully explained.
Thank you so much, really appreciate it!
Very detailed thanks! Will be using this. A friendly recommendation to keep it simple and not excessively wordy. A faster tutorial gets us sooner to actually doing the work! :)
This video made my life so much easier when I replaced my offside dented wing today… thorough, detailed and incredibly informative. I have a RHD 530i Sport Touring (facelift)… I can confirm the grounding cable is located in the same place. There were an additional two 8mm head screws right at the bottom of the wheel arch liner (towards the rear of the wheel), perhaps because of the M-Sport trim? Anyway, keep up the good work.
Great Video, very efficient and clear. Great voice over, not too fast or slow. Red oil tube pointer priceless!
Excellent tutorial, the wing removed looks too good to remove not like the dented one on my car!
Thx for the vid bud, mine's a newer model but this really helped!
Another awesome video. Great photography. Thank you!
Thank you :)
Fudge me, I used to yank on those silly plastic tabs on the back of the wheel well liner and bend the steel behind, lol. Thanks for the heads up.
just what i needed thanks.
Excellent to hear and thank you! Don't forget to subscribe, I have plenty of E39 videos.
thank you so much for detailed info
+shwepserbest No problem and thank you!
Greetings from germay thx 4 the video my washer motor is stuck doesnt work good teaching video
Thank you for the feedback and happy to help :)
very helpful thanks
Glad it helped!
great tutorial mate :)
Thank you!
I did a mistake while jacking up my e39 , I missed the jack stand and almost damaged windshield reservoir .....with this procedure I can see how much I damaged the floor ....
Thorough 👍
Thank you!
i like this kind(kode) of black and orange turn signal . Ps what is name of this black ?
It's really pain to remove it I got minor sing on the fender near headlight so no access to this you have to take fender out or I can use hammer puller dent less or that will not work on our cars only on new cars which made of very thin metal ?
Very informative. The wheel arches are always the first place rust sets in! I need to fix my washer pump too so I'll kill two birds with one stone! :-) Are there any modifications I could make to prevent rust from eating up the replacement fender too?
Is the inner fender that the fender bolts on to replaceable? Ours was bent in an accident
3 inch and 6 inch put together for a total of nine inches
Anyone else looking at this because their wing is rusted to fuck
yes, not sure if its worth replacing because my whole car is rusted though
