Thanks Ryan for the new content. I have an 03’ 525iA in Alpine White. So far I have the BlueBus and it’s been working great. Right now the water-pump is being replaced, belts and pulleys. I had to replace the fuel pump a while back. I’ve learned so much on this channel and the website.

Wow Ryan, impressive shop set up! So thrilled to see you be fully situated and at home in Southern California. Definitely want to swing by the shop soon and finally meet you!

Have you ever experienced the OBD2 (inside car) not connecting. It has power but will not connect. Checked fuses and pulled out the OBD2 and the 4 wires are all pushed in. The round 20 pin OBD in the engine bay works. 1998 540i with 190, 000. Thanks.

Hi Ryan, this is Chris from Maine. Great shop your video of the red-white-blue M5’s. I agree, that red/Carmel combination is awesome. I have a black/black 5 speed manual touring wagon and 03 530i auto. The 530 passenger door is locked. I think the actuator is bad however it is stuck closed. I know you did a video of a rear door. Any ideas to get to the intervals of the door to unlock it snd replace the actuator? I wish I lived near your shop. We recently moved to the Camden Maine area from Charlotte NC. Thanks for all of your detailed information and passion for the E39 chassis. Best regards.

Imola is gorgeous. What percentage of all E39 M5 worldwide are that color?

[raehumcheema]

Hi @e39source I was just wondering how hard it would be to convert my M5 standard audio to M audio. I know from DSP to M audio it is fairly simple but unfortunately I have standard😕. Thank you so much for the content you really have filled the void!!!!

[robertmontgomery]

When you have the time can you talk about rod bearing replacement in the E39 M5 series ?What do you do? Is it needed? Love your channel

[stevenpower]

Wow great color match, the chrome shadow color is realy hard to match.

[GGMW]

Apparently E60 soft close retrofit is very easy the only thing you need is the e60 only brackets other parts can be sourced from E70 and simple wiring .

Glad your business is still healthy and still growing!
Ive got a quick question, my M5 sat for about a year (been dailying the e30) and decided I wanted to take it for a spin in the coming week. So i replaced mostly all the fluids(excluding brake and tranny fluids) and a new Interstate battery (850CCA). And i noticed when locking and unlocking the car it does it a lot slower and sometimes the lock pin that suppose to pop out doesnt come in and out half the time.
What are the possible failures?
Thanks for reading!

Do you offer wheel refinishing as a core swap? No damage, just flaking original coating.

[bernardvillar]

Hello sir, this is bernie from the Philippines, i just got me an e39 m5, 1997 given to me by my daughter, ut was not used in over three years, just wanted to ask what contributes to engine overheating? Thanks very much

[makosasimakis]

Have you contacted with Enthusiast Auto Group for a collaboration ?

[paperandmedals]

I’ve watched most of these videos, but never caught how Ryan receive his mechanic skills? Was it just working on his own car starting when he was 16, or did he also go to school for auto mechanics? I do all my work on my Arizona garaged E39. But to tear into and rebuild a 4.4 I’d be way over my head. My search for a E38 has shown me that. Though I’d figure it out eventually, albeit the hard way. Thanks
