Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 What? Me? No idea what any of you are talking about It has a few extra bits of "character"- a free bluetooth OBD2 diagnostic device, forgotten by someone and left plugged into the port. Was very useful in diagnosing the rather alarming missfire it developed on the way home, the cam position sensor was drenched in oil, and also has an intermittent fault (it's buggered). The oil smoke haze from the rocker gasket can be pretty scary also when you pull up to a stop. The blower only blows hot, the A/C has a noisy pulley or unit, and a heater pipe under the intake mani looks so scary the car will remain off the road until it's replacement arrives. Normal for an E39, then Thanks all, it will all take a while- baby v2.0 is due in 3 weeks 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ BMW 368 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 What's the hole to the right of the gearshifter? A 3.5mm audio jack or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 Don't know if you all spotted the remote hanging from the key, it has an aftermarket immobiliser- there was an LED associated with this system in the hole, the PO's kid poked it and it has gone inter-dimensional, as Olaf speculated. To be honest, the setup is a bit of an ass. Still getting the hang of it's auto rearm function. A new cooling system, bunch of gaskets, oil filler cap, filters (cabin filters have an 05 date stamp!) couple of sensors etc on the way- you all know the drill 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1662 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 The drivers seat looks like it may cost you a bit to sort. I think the biggest expense on the E39 is suspension, most around the 200k mark are still on original tired shocks etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted April 2, 2017 self leveling suspension is another thing all together in the e39 tourings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
