Congratulations brother! so proud of you!

Hi Kon,Congrats on your purchase. 20 years on and the E39 is still an extremely handsome looking car. Other than the things that were changed in this video, you also need to check the following items; 1 - Cooling system, critical if you have no history of this from the previous owner, Check/replace all hoses, replace thermostat, replace water pump and its pulley, replace the radiator, replace the expansion tank. 2 - Check/replace the serpentine belt, check/replace the idler pulley, check/replace the tensioner pulley. 3 - Replace all fluids ie. automatic trans, power steering, brake fluid, engine oil (which you've done), differential fluid. 4. Fuel filter. 5. Check all suspension bushes front and rear including roll bar bushes and links, absorber mounting front and rear. 6. Check engine, transmission and differential bushes. 7. Check steering linkage/coupler. 8. Check drive shaft flexdisk (possiblly worn rubber coupling). 9. Check for vacuum leaks ie.check/replace all the rubber hoses connected to the inlet manifold. 10. Check for oil leaks at the oil pan, power steering rack, oil filter housing which is mounted and mated to the front part of the engine block. 11. Check the DISA valve. 12. Check for leaky (oily) hose to the VANOS. 13. Check the tie rods rubber boots at front suspension. 14. Check the rear wheels rubber boots shafts....These are the ones that i could think of based on my experience with the e36...yes, lots to be on the lookout for an aged bimmer, but if the intention is to enjoy it and keep it for sometime these may be worthwhile. Cheers and have fun.

Pls always update your ownership about this car :)

Congratulations on your buy, Sir! I own an E39 523i built in 1998 which has done so far 233000 km without any problems. I guess I will never sell this car because of the wonderful inline 6 - cylinder and the overall outstanding quality of the e39. Best wishes! AM

Absolutely fetching E39, Kon! So happy for you, and envious at the same time hahaha. Congrats buddy, you deserved it!

Same here. I didn't grow up as a bmw fan, but rather a skyline fanboy, until bmw launched the e60 m5. That was the car that made me love bmw so much right till this day😀 nice to see that you finally bought the car you've always wanted to have👍

Wow congratulation Kon! Can’t wait to watch more videos bout your new car!

Congrats Kon as a car enthusiast giving life to used cars👌🏼 Aurizn team is my inspiration to buy and give second life this kind of greatest used car

You can already hear how lovely that 6 cylinder sounds from the video. Congrats on the purchase Kon, what a beauty.

Kindly maintain a "user experience" diary for the benefit of your fans. The car looks smashing, by the way! Congrats with lots of buddy envy!

What a beautiful piece.. well done brother Kon!!:)) So happy for u. Can’t wait to see more updates!

Congratulation Kon, I know that feeling of finally getting a dream car. Can’t wait to see videos on it.

Congratulations! E39s are BMW's evergreen model. Still so pleasing to the eyes. My dream car when I was younger.

Congrats Kon. The passion in you is real. Look forward to seeing more E39 video from you.

Congrats Kon! She looks great! If i may, I would recommend you stick to the 16" wheels purely because they give the car a clean, unmolested, factory look. Cheers!

Congrats Kon. I know how it feels like to finally get the car you longed for. Enjoy the ride.

Missed my e39 touring. A rare gem in Malaysia. A crazy dude made me an offer I cannot refuse, and we parted way. With a heavy heart of course.

Congrats Kon, finally you got the E39 beast, the ultimate driving machine. By the way, you got a very very mint condition E39 ;)

Congratulations on your new car mann. Enjoy the constant roars of six cylinders, it'll definitely be worth your time.

Congrats Kon 👍 enjoy ur dream car

Excellent choice sir. I hope you're happy with your purchase. Looking forward for future videos featuring this machine

Great to hear that you finally bought your dream car!

Congrats finally... Since you replace head gasket why don't consider fully overhaul all the bearing and seal in the engine.... Peace of mind. Or in plan to swap bigger engine.. v8 can be fit in too...

Hi Kon i like your videos, this is the third one i am watching, good man keep it up

Well done dude! Congrats! Just like you I never grew up dreaming of a BMW. It was always Mercedes! However, over the years, I really came to admire the BMW 320i E30. It’s just that the horror stories of used BMW’s has stopped me. By the way, handsome looking car bro! 😎

Congratulation with your new car..! Im really interested in following your journey through this car. 👍🏻

Can't wait for next update! Congratulations Mr. Kon!

Congratulation for the Beemer purchase. Great to hear there are still people out there still willing to own this beauty.

congratulations kon, I do really enjoyed to watch this, tak puas tengok... keep update! 😉

Tahniah brader kon . I wish u have a great time with your new car

Power lah kon! Memang terbaik! Congrats on the new acquisition! 👍🏻

Congrats Bro! Really happy to see your dreams come true! Welcome Conti Gang !👍 -W204 Owner-

Congratulation kon with the new car you look really atas...And I hope you can keep the originality of this car...btw congrats konn

WOW congrats Kon ! this bm condition is great !

Congratulations Mr Kon. I can see how excited you are having your dream car.

I got a 99' e39 520i yesterday, mine is dark grey. Beautiful car.

Congrats, Kon-san. Lovely spec, smart classic BMW look. :)

Congrats on your purchase. Similarly like you ....big fan of Honda and Subaru and finally got myself the E39 this month as well.

Congrats Kon on your new car.

Congratulations,Mr Kon! Enjoy your new ride ;)

Congratulation Kon, never see you so exciting and happy before lol

Nice car dude.. 525i is a full package.. Anyway congrats

Congrats man. Hope the car serves you well.

Nice classic bmw...congrats Kon!

Great.Most young people.prefer the E46.It came with a wide variety of engines varying from the early 1.9 to the 330i .I have used both.I personally prefer the E46.Mine had athr M54 2.2 6 cylinder engine 170 bhp enough power for me and goes like a bullet.Its body size and engine to body weight ration is also just right It has better road feel responds and handles better.The best way to compare both is to run the cars on roads with bends and gradients The E39 is slightly more roomy is quieter and has a softer ride and suspension.Matter of personal preference really.

I subscribed! Nice video, im a big fan of BMW and i own an E60. i haven't done anything to it yet but after this i'd deffinetely consider

congrats kon on the new car. but pls post the cost of this car so we can all have an idea how much it will cost if we want to get cars like this. cheers

Congrats kon excited for the coming content of this car

Congrats Kon! Enjoy the car

Good information as always man good job 🙂

Congrates on your new ride. I’m always amaze with 2nd hand conti car owners, i knew a few which is close to me. Pls share your experience and some tips on costing to owned a 2nd hand conti car. This is a good channel of knowledge for those who dream to owned a conti car buy can’t afford to buy a new one. Share also some maintenace cost and things to be consider before choosing a 2nd hand car.

Congrats Mr. Kon. Change your rims to 17 inch

Congratulations Kon!

Nice car! Hope for more videos about that car! Especially maintenance for this car

Congrats. The lure of a sweet inline 6 was too strong to resist. Of course, upgrade first to 17, or even 18 inch rims if you can.

congratulations on your purchase kon....i think you should just keep the tyre size, if you upsize the wheels than you will sacrifice some cushion and it also add more stress to your suspension components

nice video dude. keep on the good work. to be honest, i also was a mitsu fanboy.. but, as i grown up, i start to like bmw. haha

Congrats Kon :) Hope u enjoy in your latest car

You made the right choice buying the 6 cylinder engine. The 4 cylinder ones leaking all the time.

I own also e39 and this one is nice one also. And people in Malaysia have nice taste of cars :)

congratulations for your purchase. drive the car with good health

Congratulations! Please always update the ownership of this car

Beautiful car. The looks will last for many more years to come as compared to the later models. I miss mine

Very nice. Congrats on your courage!

Seems Asia got the orange tail lights. I changed mine over to a set of factory Hella clear turn signal Euro style tail lights. HUGE difference. Also, a boot lid lip spoiler, same as M5 really looks good. They sell them already painted titanium silver same your car on eBay, like $40. Both look great and are still original factory type stuff.

Finally! Congratulations and welcome to the old bimmer club.

Congrats, Kon. U took the bulls by the horns.

I'm such an asshole. "E39? I heard they are horrible one bro" "Bought already? 18" rim bro! Dont worry la ok one!" Hahahhaa #reflection

Congrats bro..welcome to the OCOC, old car owners club ;)

Congrats Bro Kon.. enjoy the ride :)

Congratulations! Good job Kon 👍

Congratulations. Its your wisest decision you will ever make.

Congrats kon! As what bmw made u opened ur eyes with their e60, volvo is doing the same with their new image now!

Congrats Kon. Good car.

Congratulations Kon! I recently switch to Conti car also, hope will not be a bad experience for owning a conti car in my life .

U got a fine Car man.... i love the E39 too

Nice one... So proud of you bro... 👍

Great post! Now I also sam yuk yuk wanna get a used conti... Gonna dig all your instructional videos... Search carlist, call up dealer, call up Wearnes, don't pay anything until you see the car and registration card...

Bro... Congrats in joining the club... I dun mean to sour your purchase but i guess from day one you already are now experiencing the many replacements joys of an E39... If you intend to clock 300k in mileage over the next 10 years, i recommend you keep ready RM180K ya.

Hi Kon. Hope you are doing well. I have found an E39 that I wanted to buy. But i noticed that there's a slight crack at Engine Center Cowl and one of the Microfilter Air Channel have fall off a bit. Is it something i should be concern of? Are those parts expensive i.e in the hundreds or thousand? The one i saw is the 2003 520i model.

Hi Kon, we are all thrilled and excited about your new ride but you have not shared with us about how you actually feel and the initial driving experience, even with the dodgy tyres. Saving it for a future video? Enjoy!

Congrats!

Hi Kon,bravo , thanks for the great helpful video = ) ,really enjoy it, the E39 is a great tough D segment , from the video i can see the car's condition is superb, very quiet interior , just a minor service, its a great buy = ) ,i am looking for 1 also , mayb the e39 525 , slightly more pickup = ) , just curious where did u bought yours from ,which used car ? = )

Congratulations Kon. Nice ride

Woww..my fav car. Congrats man

Congratulations!

Greetings from a 2001 E39 523i in Bangkok. Thai market only model. How's the car going? I am very knowledgeable about these cars. Hit me up if you need advice.

Hi Kon, I need your opinion on this. Someone offered me his 1997 E39 525i Single Vanos for RM9k. Now the question is, should I go for it or look for a final batch unit like yours? Appreciate if you could provide some guidance. Thanks!

That's the way Man. Enjoy your Ride Kon. Welcome to the Bimmer Family

4 owner and the car still looks good 👍

Congrats to you on ur new purchase ..my all time dream E39 as well ..so eagerly to get one since watching this video..CKD is much 'safer' rite than the CBU in E39 range ? Since it's in superb mint condition, any plans to souped it up to M5 body kit ?

Congratulations on your 6 cyclinder!!!!!

Cool bro.. I bought my 5 series from the same dealer.. sat in your car too.. ;)

Soon to be rm100k bmw after another two year of repair

Congrats Kon !!!

RM24000?? Damn thats only S$8000! No COE somemore. Wish i was malaysian..

e39...good shit. Every well know for its solid suspension and build quality. You should however looked for a 523i minimum just for that extra torque.

Congrats in getting your dream car. I am still searching for my 2002tii...

Congratz Kon !! Im interested to know the price of changing undercarriage covers. Mine totally same as yours. And also hope to see more vid of ur E39 after refurbish and also the upgraded wheels .

The real problem with the tyres is they are 7 years old! Not grippy anymore. What a waste. The best looking wheel for the E39 is the AC Schnitzer Type III 18". The version without the studs. They were designed for this car and are just meant to be.
