17-inch M Sport wheels and Continental MC6 for my BMW E39 | EvoMalaysia.com

Күн бұрын

I was planning to drive on with the tyres and wheels that came with my E39 520i, but one bulged tyre expedited the need for replacement. After weighing the pros and cons of maintaining my current special size tyres vs going an inch up with minimal additional expense, I picked up a set of 17-inch Style 66 M Sport rims and slapped on a set of Continental MC6 tyres to the car.
Also detailed my overall cost of acquisition to date, summarized as follows:
OTR price with insurance and road tax - RM24,000
Service & Repairs @ Wearnes Autohaus (itemized breakdown inclusive labour)
- Oil change, Castrol 5W-40 - RM582.50
- Ignition coil (x6) - RM1,021.50
- Bosch Iridium spark plug (x6) - RM337.50
- Cylinder head gasket - RM297.50
- Rear brake pads - RM315.00
- V-Belt - RM268
- Undercarriage covers - RM388.50
One set of used 17" x 8J Style 66 alloy wheels (halfcut from Japan) - RM1.9k for 5 pcs including used tyres.
One set of brand new Continental MC6 tyres, 235/45 R17 - bought from Lazada at RM1.8k

Looks great! I have the same color car with the same wheels - my beloved 1997 E39 528ia in the USA. Currently clocking at 226k miles. I've owned it since 2001 and have done numerous facelift upgrades but striving to keep it stock looking. I do all the maintenance myself. Recently did the valve stem seal as the vehicle would emit smoke briefly upon cold start or after sitting for a prolonged period. The seals were completely gone. While in there, found the timing guides were deteriorating. Glad I discovered before the timing chain skipped a tooth!

Kon, actually you should not go there to maintain ur car, price was very high. Like rear brake pad 300++ was so expensive ,for valve cover gasket, outside BMW workshop only charge Rm200 using ori part and siap Pasang.for ignition coil 6pcs cost 1K!! Spark plug 6pcs Rm 3xx !! Really not worth because BMW ori part was not so expensive even siap pasang should not cost Rm 3K . I'm BMW E60 owner also buy 2nd car, engine oil normally I choose Mobil 5w-40 . Other is need take care your cooling system, because your mileage is over 148Km, due to Malaysia weather if the car meet traffic jam everyday it should be reduce your cooling sys life. Suggestion your replace kind of top hose, lower hose, themostart, expansion tank and must using BMW coolant. It should be more confident to be a daily car.

Should get the suspension and chassis components that are worn to replaced too. The other thing with all these older cars, should also look into changing the airbag modules, they are not as expensive as it used to be any longer. Whenever you have overseas trips it is a good time to go parts shopping, the times I went to Europe when I was restoring my former E24, while the rest went shopping I would look for places to buy car parts. Thankfully these days most things can be bought online.

I'm still getting used to the BMW and learning its behaviour. At present, I'll still drive the Waja faster and harder. I do have 10 years of familiarity with the Waja, so the way the car responds is almost instinctive to me. I'd say the Waja feels the more lively and more eager car to be driven hard. The BMW has a more relaxed character and does not take off from standstill as quickly due to its weight. Still, the E39 is already feeling like a very pleasant car, and I have quickly reached the stage where, Waja excepted, I find myself longing to drive the BMW whenever I'm behind the wheel of another car.

What's the difference between changing to same size tires from staggered sized tires?

@KonWaiLuen 5 жыл бұрын

Same size tyres give you the option of rotating tyres front to rear that you can't do with staggered size.

Congrats on the purchase. Like to borrow a phase from another brand which is there's no old BMW only new BMW owners. I am just a fan of good cars and I was really do like the W124 can understand yours dream to own this E39. However the sad reality we can't afford to have old vintage in SGP. Do hope if you could can do a up down genting review ride. Personally I love the drive up each time for leisure no racing. Lol also because is just a family car. Thanks for reading.

At 170ps and weighing 1.6tonnes with kon himself recently drove the C43 and G30 530I... Certainly the E39 is no joy for sure even if it was a leisure uphill drive.

Would it not have been better to service the suspension before throwing new tyres on the car from a tyre wear perspective? Also was that a real E36 M3 in the beginning of the video? 😯

@KonWaiLuen 5 жыл бұрын

That is correct, but in this instance, the tyres were in a more urgent state of repair than the suspension. I do plan to refurbish the suspension soon though.
