New to the Bimmer club with my E39 530i

Recommended Posts

Hey all, new to the BMW community with the purchase of this 02 530i

So far everything that's needed to be done maintenance wise has been done by the previous owner however there is a little bit of exterior cosmetic damage which will be an easy fix (there's an 02 528i in the orient blue metallic at pickapart that is in pretty good exterior condition that I'll go take panels off soon)...

Currently on my list of things to do include:

Retrofitting RF Locking system (currently Jap IR Key) 

New head unit (and sound system) 

LED Angel lights and fogs

New wheels or recondition current ones

Possible repaint in San Marino Blue next year

Hi and welcome! She looks pretty tidy, congrats :) Style 32's are a nice wheel as well.

Just to scare you- these are all around the age where the coolant return pipes to and from the heater fail, you can do a visual inspection with a torch without having to tear the engine apart. If the plastic pipes are brown discoloured and leaking, they need replacing asap.

Just had a look, looks like they've been done already :)
