E39 540i Motorsport

[Mr White's Garage 28]

Hi all,

Here’s my Topaz blue 2002 E39 540i M Sport.  Picked this up from @hqstu three months ago and have since completed over 6,000km. The condition of this vehicle is a testament to extensive work completed by HQSTU previously documented on his  e38/39 Central DHB post. Certainly surprises people when you tell them it now has over 296,000km on clock.
With all the big jobs already completed by HQSTU very little work has been required. 
Replaced number 8 coil with genuine BMW coil but after another coil failed the following month I decided to replace the remaining 7 original coils with new matching Bosch coils, this time from FCP. 
Replaced the rain light sensor (RLS) to restore function of the auto wipers, $32 from Pick a Part. 
A few other things to sort. There’s always something to fix on a 20 year old BMW.

I'm pleased it's going well for you Taylor, albeit a few coils and a RLS... great photos.  Keen to keep updated, and yes there is always something... but I think you've started from an OK base 😎 Cheers.

Great looking 540i M/Sport Taylor, looks very similar to my own 1999 540i M/Sport, I don't have the sunroof though.
