I have a lot of sentimental attachment to the e39 it being my first car. I’m on my third one I most say the nicest one I’ve ever gotten 2002 bmw 540i with M sport package. Literally beg the guy sell it to me. He ended up letting it go because he wasn’t looking forward to doing the timing chain guides which had never been done and yes it was making the rattle noise. I did the timing guides that same week I bought it. I’m in love with it.

You hit it on the head! The E39 has issues, yet the vast majority of them are easily fixed without lot of money leaving your pocket! I have two a 1998 540ia with 127000 miles when I bought it in 2015 total cost of repairs $3000 now at 157800 miles. My 2003 530ia had 135700 miles when I bought a year and a half ago now it has 139800 miles! I did over paid for it but it had next to nothing wrong with it no oil leaks or codes. I did the 100000 miles maintenance when I bought it for just over $750. I just replaced the alternator two weeks ago. I added the Blue Bus box too! The 540ia gets around 20 mpg on the highway at 75 to 85 mph 12 mpg in town. The 530ia get 22 to 24 mpg at 75 to 85. With 12 to 14 mpg in town. These are so comfortable and smooth driving. The vast majority of my friends who have rode in it think it is only five or so years old. The E39 is one of the most beautiful BMW ever produced! Plus all the parts cheap and you can do almost all the repairs and maintenance yourself! By the way I am seventy years old.

I will say one thing, i live in norway, and here the e39 is known to have rust issues. Particularily in the rear trunk lid on tourings, the jack points, behind rear wheel well, and under the carpet by the rear seats (water leaks in though the vapor barriers and pool under carpet) It is mainly because of road salt, but almost every e39 here has rust in these spots. Luckily no rust in other places, usually :D Fluid-film is your friend, rust-belt folks! (Not sponsored)

Hi Nathan. I'm over in the UK and have a 1998 523 with a 5-speed manual and the M52TU engine. I have owned it since it had 51000 miles on it in 2003 and now it has 102000 in it - so I've had it coming up 19 years and it hasn't caused me any trouble whatsoever. I have done all the preventative stuff you mentioned including Vanos seals, PCV, hoses, gearbox and diff oil and I will never sell it even though there are better spec'd versions around. Mine has full leather and dual climate control too.It isn't going to break any land speed records but it is very perky for a 2.5. About 5 years ago I thought about selling it but I'm so glad I kept it. It's a fabulous car for the highway and it still gives me mid to high 30s mileage. I'm hoping E39s will soon go up in price - not because I will ever sell it but because other people may look at it more with admiration, wishing they owned it. I do get nice comments whenever I get tyres for it. Here in the UK boy racers have got hold of most of them and killed them and the M5s are more than likely to have been thrashed. Mine has been extremely well cared for and I will always keep it that way. Thanks for all your hard work throughout the years keeping this channel going. I hope you stay safe and well and I look forward to watching more content in the New Year.

I picked up a 99 528i/5speed manual for 4.5k this year. Its got a clean title, 158k miles, biarritz blue with grey interior. It was in near perfect shape, but I think manual e39s demand a premium over autos. However I plan to own this car for a very long time, and I wanted the better reliability of the manual, better mpg, and better driving experience. If you can drive a manual, I suggest looking for a manual e39. I have owned other 528i, 540it, 740i 740il, and 750il, and all e39/38s are good if they were taken care of by the previous owner. I do agree with Nathan that e39s in good shape are starting to disappear, so if you've been looking for one of these and the right comes up for sale, don't hesitate

That being said, I picked mine up and it’s mint and I mean mint. Typical pixels missing on dash info center but every button and functions on the car works. I did have to immediately replace the plastic radiator which was no big deal. Did I mention to say this car has 75,000 original miles. I love this car. It’s stepping in time and provides a more analogue driving experience. Point I was getting at is I paid $7,500 and I believe it’s worth a lot more if I were to sell it which I will never do.

If I park the car with the rear lower than the front, water drains fine. If I park with he front lower, fills up the floor boards and the glove box. If you take it through an automatic car wash, God help you. That beast leaked behind the dash and filled up the floor, water was coming out of the dome and map lights and leaking onto the shifter. It was a shit show. Never taking it through a car wash again, never taking it out in the rain again, and if I thought I could sell it for a profit, I would and go get something else I can drive in the rain.

I have thinking about replacing my 2000 Saab 9-5 aero (manual) with an e39 528i (ought to be manual). The Saab was my first car when i bouht it a year ago. Consumption aint too bad and tve speed feels nice. I hasn't had any major issues however the ride just isnt that great. I have heard so much good about e39 driving capabilities and the great insulation and build quality. Should i take the risk of replacing a working car to something better to drive or should i just stick to my Saab?

So my LCM is acting up if I replace it from the junkyard it will need programming?

bmw is fun to drive like a toy & im not going to ask them to lower their cars prices or change anything in the quality, but to consider to lower their crazy parts prices!! in that time im very sure they will be the next toyota of the world

Yeah tell that my E39's engine who took some water because the dreanage whole under the cabin filter was closed from leaves and mud... And before that I changed the fuel pump cuz they don't like to sit around in cold weather, lol. Bmw's need more love than a woman. Ps. check the fuses and relais out first, and to test the fuel pump you can test it with a 12v charger or batery if you have starting issues, just saying.

Hey Nathan I have an auto 03 530, to my knowledge the Transmission fluid has never been changed. Currently sitting at 122K miles. Do you recommend to change the fluid or at this point don’t touch it ?

Yep. Can't hurt. I just changed mine at 79,500km here in Melbourne.

Want to sell me that car for 3k? In 2023 I highly doubt it. I have a 2003 530i, sport model, metallic blue in near mint condition, cooling system overhaul, new control arms, all new gaskets, with 90k miles on it. I get red light offers here in LA for 15K. This car has become a unicorn under 100K miles, especially the sports model. Let me know when you run across something comparable to mine. I scour the entire US for these vehicles. Has to be 2003, sport, under 100k miles, no tan interior

I disagree. E90 with a 6speed paired with the N52 is the way to go
