New member with 540 E39

Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone!

When I came from Germany last year, I bought an E39 540i straight away. I was lucky to find a New Zealand new one with low mileage and previously driven by an elderly woman. I love my bimmer and don't regret the buy. In my opinion, a lot of these ‘modern classic' cars come for a very fair price here in New Zealand. Even, if I needed to address a couple of issues, such as valve covers, brakes and many smaller items.

I believe this is a great forum, and I'm looking forward to swapping ideas with you.

Nice valve cover job :)

I painted the covers on my 540i wrinkle black a few weeks ago, made such a difference!

Thank you! It does make a difference, and I hope the valve cover gaskets will last longer too :)

Looks good. +1 on getting a PFL version, far better motor.

I still miss both the E39 540i Beemers I used to have.  Even after replacing the second one with a E55 AMG I still missed it.  They will always hold a special place in my heart!  This one is super clean looking, nice work getting hold of it!
