Dealer told me mine required $14,500 of repairs because of leaks, but I have no puddle under it. Meanwhile, my other car is leaking oil and the garage (non-dealer) said it's too expensive to bother fixing so I should just catch the oil, top it up until I dump the car (Mitsubishi) once and for all.
Also there is an option for follow me home headlights. When the key is out of the ignition, you just quickly pull on the turn signal lever (like when blinking with high beams). Then you can just lock the car and the headlights will light up for 30 seconds and then automatically turn off.
musa-can kalin yes! I expected it on my 2003 530ia, it just does not function that way with either primary ignition keys! I thought it was on all E39 models. My 1998 540ia works just like you stated!!!
I've always loved the motions sensor in the center of the ceiling. You can leave your windows rolled down and you don't have to worry about anyone reaching in for something.
My mum just locked herself in with the key for half an hour to wait for me a few days ago, and somehow she didn't trigger the motion sensor from the front passenger seat, though I could see the security light blinking...
Just want to say when you unplug the MAF and you find it runs better don't always assume it is the MAF sensor failing, that is often also sign of a vacuum leak.
This is not everything e39 key can do. It stores some data as well. Mileage of a car, and last settings of AC and also driver seat/steering column settings i belive. If you use the other key it will bring last settings it was used with :) When you lock your glovebox with a diamond key, you cannot open it with a valet key (grey one). :D
I had the same key problem last week. You should go to the trunk fuse compartment (next to the battery) and check the (central locking system fuse) mine was bad so I replaced it with another 7.5 amp fuse and it worked wonders.
Thanks! I sold the car last year, but I did check every fuse when I had it. I believe it was probably a receiver module, but I could never figure it out.
There is some pretty good info and some of these, the one I use often is if one of your windows is not all the way up or your sunroof it’nt all the way shut you can turn your key in the key hole on the driver door clockwise and hold, and all of your windows will roll up and your sunroof will shut If you turn counterclockwise, all windows will roll down.
The plastic piece on the windshield wipers is a wind deflector. They were added after the first year (1996) because the wipers would whistle when you went faster than 160 KPH. You can actually open the doors without the key. You need to press the unlock button on the center console and within one second before it re-locks, you can pull the door open. However the alarm will sound and will not stop until the key key’s stop alarm button is pressed.
Was a special extra on the so called bus steering wheel....yes once you have bought a car with that,you wont regret it...an extra that most people think is unnecessary, Till the, bought a car with it
The wiper thing is just a plastic bit to help aerodynamics...don’t know where you got the idea that is a second wiper blade...that plastic piece doesn’t wipe water from the windscreen
@@350Z247 yea thats what i have.. I think the coin box must be an option. Plus the dipping mirror on reverse might need to be coded. Ho hum. 👍😎 The autostart off the key twist I think is v8 only as well.
how to re-enable? I have an e39 530D and wondering why it doesnt work, its so cringy to change the position of my mirrors manually everytime and then reverse positon them back.
The tilt down Feature is a Memory seats based extra only! That wasnt Standard. E34s with memory could do that too....and the rainsensor can be reprogrammed and even shut of with bmw Software! The coinholder Tho wasnt on my e39 though, and I hat a very high specced 2k1 530iT...
I did. I was even able to successfully sync them to my R53 Mini; so, I know it wasn't the key. I checked every fuse, but it must have been the receiver in the car that wasn't working properly. I sold it before I ever figured it out.
Yo, you say the torch isn't too bright? Well, how about if I told you you can make it brighter?! Well, a whole shitload brighter, actually!!! All one has to do, search for and purchase "LED E10 bulb" and be sure to you get the threaded bulb (screw in kind). Once that bulb is delivered. go grab a tube of crazyglue and putty knife butter knife and very carefully, pry the two sections of the torch apart, stick the tool right in the seam then rotate the tool back and fort and work it baby but not too deep, you want to stick it in and work it real easy until both sections come apart. Once apart, carefully take the silver reflecter off from the base of where the bulb screws in. The underside of that silver has adhesive, so if you are gental with the whole process like I was, the silver is reusable. Unscrew the bulb, then screw, screw real good, deep and hard the new LED bulbe. Then whipe it out! The crazy glue, you'll apply crazy to all three edges of where the two halves of the 2 bodys met. Onces you have the two two halves glued together, clamp the body together with tape, wrap tape arond the body a few times and let the glew dry for a good hour or so. Then take your clamping device off, turn on the ligth make sure it powers on, then reaply the silver to the bace of the torch, than use a tad bit more of that crazy to the lens and pop the lens back on the torchand reclamp, but this time clamp the lens to the body for same amout of time as last. There you have it, very simple, very easy to do, you'll have a much briter brighter light. Store light in it's charging port as normal.
@@Hayden-ib3ju OH! Wiper blades. I believe the smaller auxiliary wiper blades are permanently attached to the wiper arm; if you want to replace them, you'll have to buy a whole new arm.
I replaced the factory "Y" resonator with an 18 inch Cherry Bomb resonator and deleted the muffler entirely. It's pretty quiet when cruising but sounds great on start up and when you floor it.

The 2nd whiper blade is for aerodynamic purpose
That ignition feature is only available for the 530/540i or bigger, not for the smaller engine one's
I did not know that; thanks for the add!
It does not work on my 2003 530ia that way! It does on my 1998 540ia!
@@350Z247 you're welcome :)
@@Leprovocateur weird? I only know what i read in the books :), you can look by yourself in the car manual what kind of features there are available.

If you hold your key IN open , it’ll open all windows and sunroof as you hold it there in 540i models

It's amazing how much they packed into this car all the way back in the 90s!

If ur use ur wipers manually jus push the stalk past the first stopping point upsward and u and keep goin to control it

Yes, this is true, but there are still two different blades per wiper.
Living in Minnesota my favorite feature is the heated steering wheel
Mine didn't have that option, but my wife's current BMW does. It's great on cold mornings.
Was a special extra on the so called bus steering wheel....yes once you have bought a car with that,you wont regret it...an extra that most people think is unnecessary, Till the, bought a car with it
Awesome vid. I have an E92 M3 hot wheel on my E39 key chain
Nice! I was bummed I couldn't an E39 Hot Wheels or Matchbox
@@350Z247 they definitely need to make one. They recently released an E46 hot wheel
@@leoromo74 nice, I may pick one up

There are two pieces of rubber in contact with the windshield per wiper arm. The spoiler on top of the blade is an entirely different piece.
I tried a few of these and was disappointed when my car didn't have them ☹️
Sorry to hear it. I think the 530i is where many of the features start to appear
@@350Z247 yea thats what i have.. I think the coin box must be an option. Plus the dipping mirror on reverse might need to be coded. Ho hum. 👍😎 The autostart off the key twist I think is v8 only as well.
The reverse mirror was the first thing I disabled when I got my E39. I have no idea how that helps people.
You're crazy; easily my favorite BMW feature.
It's great for parallel parking, otherwise highly annoying
Lol mine seems to have a mind of its own. It barely moves sometimes and other times it points straight down
It was clearly explained in the video, you must be a dumba$$. :)

My 530i 02. Doesn't have ignition assistance. Gotta hold key like normal
bro i deadass thought my passenger side window was broken😭
The “automatic” starter without needing to hold the key turned is also available in e46 coupe facelift ?
Did u try to reset your key..it worked numerous times for my e39 528i
I did. I was even able to successfully sync them to my R53 Mini; so, I know it wasn't the key. I checked every fuse, but it must have been the receiver in the car that wasn't working properly. I sold it before I ever figured it out.
I don't have a coin holder. Oh, probably because I don't use American coins.
The video stated that other countries would have different sizes to fit the local currency.
I got a bmw e39 530i supercharged
Nice!
4:50 isnt that the 540 feature
I don't remember if my 530i had it or not. It's definitely possible.
@@350Z247 mine didnt have it was Msport package from japan 530i

Where can I find my front blades, the smaller ones?
Front blades?
The smaller blades. There are the two main blades but those additional two
@@Hayden-ib3ju OH! Wiper blades. I believe the smaller auxiliary wiper blades are permanently attached to the wiper arm; if you want to replace them, you'll have to buy a whole new arm.
Jesus alright. Where can I get rubber to replace it?
@@Hayden-ib3ju that may not be possible. If Pelican parts can't help you, then you're SOL.
Brilliant cars but expanding ulez means I have it for one more year
Truly unfortunate
What all have you done to your exhaust ?
I replaced the factory "Y" resonator with an 18 inch Cherry Bomb resonator and deleted the muffler entirely. It's pretty quiet when cruising but sounds great on start up and when you floor it.
350Z247 can you send a link to the resonator ?
@@terrariagaming8991 Like this one. Just pick the right pipe diameter. www.amazon.com/Cherry-Bomb-87529CB-Glasspack-Muffler/dp/B003E5P7PG
The mirror tilting down was put in e46 e39 e36 e90 not so unique
Do you see it in non-BMWs? I never have. Thus, special.

One feature you forgot. If you earn any extra money your car will take care of that.
If you're trying to imply unreliability, take your ignorant negativity somewhere else.
