Hi all, ** Admin - Please move this if i've put it in the wrong section and apologies if so Thought it was about time I put a project thread together for the car - E39 Champagne I (530i Sport) I've owned it now for just over 5 years, had a E36 316i before that for 4 years. The E39 is the daily drive at the moment and has been for 5 years but the intention is to run it for the rest of the summer then garage it and start a proper refurbishment Fast forward 5 years . . . . . . Nothing that much has changed really - I didn't want to mod it to much other than small cosmetic bits, more of an OEM+ touch Car has been maintained throughout but recent things of note that I've done are; New brake set up; CCV has all been replaced along with the upper and lower intake boots - Think there may be an air leak someone along the line so this will probably end up being done again shortly; All 4 wheel arches have been stripped down, cleaned, undersealed, all plastics cleaned; 14 years worth of muck Intravee set up; Always try and keep it clean - easier said than done with a black car; Last weekend started getting it ready for the shows; And a couple of novel ones; Up coming is; Wheel refurbishment - booked in for this coming Wednesday Electric folding mirror upgrade Full interior refurbishment - this will probably be after show season New rear bumper - cracked New front bumper - stone chipped, I did a repair which worked but being far to OCD I'm going to replace it |

Great looking E39 you have there and with the best look - A dark coloured Sport on paras!
Are you a member of the 5 forum? If not, get yourself over there because not a lot seems to happen on this one, which I found surprising..!
