By the way, I’m setting a goal for this channel to reach 5, 000 subscribers by the end of this year. You know what to do to help! 😉 Thank you!! 😁

Best mod for this model is proper maintenance with high quality parts :)

E46 rims do NOT fit on e39. God knows why bmw thought it was a good idea but its the only one with 74.1 mm center bore and e46/most/all bmws have a 72, 6 mm bore. Use spacers, wheels that are 80 and a adaptor or swap to e60 hubs, or you have to stick to oem e39 rims. its easily the biggest downside to e39s

That was a great video. To come up with 50 items that really can improve your e39 is not easy but you did it. I have a 2003 e39 and I found myself nodding a lot. Note: the only things I have actually done is to refinish my wheels, fix all the dropped pixels, and purchased new all weather mats but I could relate to all your 50 suggestions and each one had merit. Thanks for sharing.

I bought E39 and now I'm watching your videos and it makes me soo gratefull that I have chance to drive this car and its so dope!! And I'v got my car licences last week and this is my first car and so amazing feeling to drive it !!

I just purchased a 525i with 90k, and it came with some of the mods you listed, along with coilovers and springs. Upon inspection, the oil filter reservoir was not maintained, and spilled oil deep into the alternator. Once i replaced both of those, the gas cap, and valve cover (was slightly cracked) & gasket, it's been treating me very well. I was saddened to see your but based in the USA, as I wanted to meet up and get your opinion on some things in person.

This was an excellent video, as you offered loads of excellent information, in a clear and swift manner, without wasting loads of time. You're a natural, keep it up!

For 540i (M62B44tu engine, not sure about 535i) you can fit larger throttle body from N62 engine to get more power. There are upgrade kits, or you can just buy a throttle itself and repin the connector. Works better if chip-tuned. Great video!

This is one of the best information on how best to upgrade and update the bmw I have a bmw 540i 1998 and shall use your great information once again thanks O'Brien

10:00 my 1999 528i's LCD screens are all working perfectly still

I just got a 2003 E39 530i (automatic sadness) and this video is awesome showing me all the things that I can do just to give it that shine. Love all the lowkey not too crazy ideas.

#1 Mod: Bring all e39 maintainence up to date. #2 Mod: get a second or 3rd job to be able to get yourself out of debt bringing your e39 maintenance up to date. #3 Mod: too late for mods you are most likely knocking on deaths door after paying off your e39 ownership debt, now its time to save up for funeral costs. The end.

[MrRoadWorrier]

I have done most of these mods to my E39 Touring, but my favourite mod was manual swapping it!

[denispuric]

Brate moj, amazing video man I will definitely look into some of these🙏

[slobodanfilipovic]

Svaka cast na klipovima, profi ih radis, samo napred!

[theascendunt]

I'm getting an auto 525i soon. I just listed down a whole bunch of mods I'm planning to do. Thanks for the great video!

[ManFunny]

8:54 EVOX-R V2.0 Bi Xenon Projector Lenses around $80-90 2–3 hours install time, if you are handy and the night's will turn into a day plus you can change the adjusters and put on new headlight lenses while you disassembly the headlight. After 2002 the headlights doesn't use Butyl. But are permanently sealed, this mean you have to cut the OEM headlight lenses to remove them(unusable after that)and put new lenses after that. But the 2000-2002? Have a Butyl that come off really easy with hot air pistol.

[captainLoknar]

Very informed list. I can already tell you're a true enthusiast.
What a great car to work with - every minor fix and improvement is greatly rewarded.
This car gives me so much happiness. I can't help but feel sorry for everyone else in their 2023 chinese EV which already looks used 200, 000km after 5000km, with their dumb face trying to find the climate controls

[Stian]

Extra mods would be: webasto with app/ or controller, heated steering wheel, tint, vented and drilled brembo breaks discs/pads, 5.1 break fluid brembo or hella, eonon head unit and jl audio 5.25 speakers :) also you can replace the speaker wires with thicker once so you can add an 4 channel amp. Also adding jl audio tweeters if they exist

[slimsai]
