Hey yall, just wanted to give an update on my car.
A month ago, I sold my dd shitbox hyundai to this dude and his wife for $3000 and picked up this bmw for $2,500. I got a 97 e39 bmw 540i with the 6 speed and the m sport package. It's got m3 wheels and a fuck ton of power.
As soon as I got it back from Houston, my spark plug shot out of it's housing, and since no mechanic in my town wants to work on bmws I had to bore out and rethread it, also the water pump fucked me over. To make it a little louder, I took out the muffler and resonator and left the pipes open after the cats, and now it sounds like a dragon.
Tell me what you think, where my e39 bros at?

Heres with the updated plastidip wheels
>>
don't like the plastidipped wheels but that's a nice find. water pump sounds like no fun, but better than a 3rd HPFP

Change your timing chain tensioner.
Trust me.

look at the houses, do you think they'd let a nigger live in a neighborhood like this
he's a pasty white teenager that lives with his rich parents. i can tell from the $500 bmw and from his post
>>
>>17142233
right on the money with pasty white teenager, but I sell houses so this is my place

e39 540i with 6 speed is a good combo.
whats the mileage?
because well kept examples usually are priced at $6-7k

>M package
>standard bumpers and chrome linings on the side
Uuh...is the US m-pack not like the EU m-pack?
At least you have the '00 facelift lights
>no light-defrosters
Wtf is that car

America

Sounds like you treated a symptom instead of the cause
>>

143k, lil high but its had good maintenance
>>17142535
having no mechanic is just an incentive to learn i guess
>>17142627
cylider #6 wasnt torqued down all the way, got loose and fucked the threads
>>
>>17142115
WOW it looks like fucking shit
Seriously, Jesus christ
Glas you at least did your own work though
>>
>>17142523
This. Definitely not an m sport car
>>
>buys a nice clean 540i 6MT
>within a month has already nigger-rigged repairs and molested it with obnoxious mods and plastidip
I should really buy one of these before the prices for un-fucked examples skyrocket.
>>
>>17142627
No, he treated the cause. A threaded insert properly installed is stronger than the original thread. Some Fords do that shit too. Kudos to OP for doing his own work. You are either a mechanic or a faggot. Wrench on!
>>
>>17143118
i kind of doubt they'll skyrocket, maybe the m5 but not the lower trims
