Congratulations, E39 will be a nice reliable daily driver for you. Regarding center storage compartment, it’s just a slideable arm rest! Regarding it blowing cold in the front with heat on, check the slider in the center of the front vents. That is a temperature output controller so when you want heat you have to change the heat there as well as with the digital temperature controls. I think this will help your defroster as well.
Thanks! It wasn't perfect but it was overall pretty nice. BMW didn't really figure out the rust inhibitor until the E60. I haven't seen major rust issues on 5 series past the 2004 model year when the E60 came out.
Apologies for the delayed response - they did not make an AWD version of the E39. But for earlier you could purchase an E30 (3 series), or later E46 (3 series)/E60 (5 series)/E90(3 series) it is designated by an 'x' in the name standing for X-Drive. For example, a 2006 BMW 525xi is an AWD BMW E60 and around the price range
Hahaha, what a coincidence! Have fun with the swap, hope you are swapping the transmission to manual as well :) The cup holders actually work so much better than the pop-out ones!
Fix your oil leak. Most BMWs do NOT leak oil unless they are maintained by punters who bought them from first owners who did no scheduled maintenance so that the second owner could have something to complain about. The S sport shift is for you to do the shifting, not over rev it. I don't think you really understand your car.
Thank you for watching, and for your comment. This was years ago, and I’ve owned at least 8 BMWs from 1990-2001 and they ALL leaked oil from one area or another - whether it be from the oil filter housing, the oil pan gasket, or the valve cover gasket. I actually did fix the oil leak that weekend, haha. If you search common M54 issues, oil leaks and cooling systems are the most common issues. Yes, Sports shifting is for you to shift, or to have it shift you while keeping it in gear longer, naturally revving it higher to give you more instant torque.
