FIXING NEGLECTED BMW E39 540i. IT WILL RUN AND DRIVE!

Published at : 12 Dec 2025

I bought a car for which I didn't think the engine would be in good condition.
After a lot of wasted nerves, it turned out that the car was much more attractive than I thought from the beginning.
The biggest problem was removing the washer from the cylinder, and coding the engine computer, but in the end everything was done and the car drives like it used to.
I put those videos together so that you can learn from my mistakes not from your's.

Big thanks to my friend Sreten who gave away the airbag for rear suspension.
