Bjoern 4 Report post Posted August 27, 2016 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. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

necsis 27 Report post Posted August 29, 2016 Nice valve cover job I painted the covers on my 540i wrinkle black a few weeks ago, made such a difference! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjoern 4 Report post Posted August 29, 2016 Thank you! It does make a difference, and I hope the valve cover gaskets will last longer too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devinerentals 4 Report post Posted September 23, 2016 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
