E39 update that I know some of you would appreciate. In the video I mention it's been 3 years since I have owned this car but after reviewing some uploads this would actually be the 4th year of ownership.

that trunk is stupid clean! i just picked up a 120k mi 540it for $1500. has a blown head gasket (or two) but i’m about to have it wrenched on and hope for a few more years of good use out of it. thanks for the informational video.

Just bought a 02 540i with Dinan stage 3 ECU tune w/ supporting mods and stage 1 trans tune. BC coil overs and I’m really enjoying it.

I love my 97 540i. Getting ready to put my suspension on shortly getting lowered in hr springs and konis with adjustable camber plates up front.

Lol. I’ve had many “I’m a dumb ass” moments

I've heard the opposite regarding stuff breaking, if it's sitting stuff will break but when it's used everything's closer to being gravy

lol wanting them to ask a question just so you can say no is diabolical 😂 we need an 8 year update

I realize I'm late to the party here, but won't the ignition key open the trunk?

So I've been looking at getting one of these and for the past few months I've been gathering info on the issues. Now people have been saying they have spent quite a lot of money on these things which are understandable since pretty sure the first owners drove these like they stole it but looking up the parts corresponding to the issues online, they don't seem too crazy expensive to me (I'm not rich, I wouldn't be looking at a used beamer if I was). Is it the labor that really kicks you in the nuts?

So are you saying that if I buy a stick shift I should be fine? Great content 👍🏽

[gabrielfernandez]

I shouldnt buy an E39 540i as a student?

[brandonnazir]

I’m 19 got my license should I get this car for my first car. I’m gonna have it for 5 plus years and I’m just in love w it. I’m also thinking bout a e36.

[sarkadibalazs]

You could just open the front door with the key and then fold down your back seats to connect the batterie

Hopefully someone can you give me good advice I currently on a 2007 335I and I am in the market looking to get an E39 540i should I just keep my 335I or should I get the E39 540i? So my question is how reliable is the e39 540i?

[nicocatalano]

Goddamn w the white wheels looks great

[nikolaiburroughs]

I know it’s different strokes for different folks but you’ve ruined the times less e39 look in my opinion

When you put all that extra stuff on E39 540i it looks like nothing but a pimp's car looking around to get attention from drug dealers. Everything looks nasty ugly 😷😂
