Nice to see the facelift grills on the car. as far as the key goes I got mine cut by a guy on ebay. I just had to send him a picture of my key and it actually worked. after that I was able to program it to my e39 by myself using an AK90 programmer.

@paulhutton1507 3 года назад

Having re-wired the DRLs on my Impreza into the fog lights I appreciate being able to run them with the parking lights. And it creates a cool yellow fog look during all the time as well.

@andrewward4246 3 года назад

do the thinner grill but black! perfect solution!

@minn12311 3 года назад

I know you were maybe being sarcastic about it never breaking down on you, but these really are great road trip machines. Everything is so over engineered that you have plenty of warning before a part truly fails to the point of leaving you stranded. I took my 190k mile M5 all across the country and it loved it

@lukasgray8955 3 года назад

The black & silver grilles tie the front end together sooo much better.

@nataliuspayne9102 3 года назад

As a long term E39 M5 owner ( 18 years ) I can tell you that the temperature gauge on the M5 is very very sensitive unlike other BMW's. Ask me how I know ? I went through a phase of replacing the thermostat 6 times . The difference between the lower dot and the upper dot seems to be only 10 degrees C . In ALL other BMW's the temperature gauge sits at exactly 12:00 O'clock over a wide range of temperature. . The M5 temperature gauge does move around . As long as its between the dots and above 75 C its fine. What you can do is access the secret menu on the dashboard and call up the water temperature . Thermostat should open at 82 . Thus the temperature should be somewhere in the 77 / 87 range. I would dare suggest if your temperature goes below 75 then there is probably an issue with your thermostat . What I will say is these S62 engines do seem to run cool. You can if you like fit a thermostat that opens at 86 C which seems to do the trick and I haven't replaced a thermostat for 10 years but the gauge still does move around, but as I said its very very sensitive unlike other BMW's who seem to have a damper on their gauges at 12:00 O'clock. Hope it helps.

@oisinmcdaid 3 года назад

Lucky you caught the bracket for the rear bumper. I changed my diffuser on my e46 a while back and broke the bracket. Didn't get a replacement and then lost the diffuser going down a back road at night never to be seen again.

@NewtonInDaHouseYo 3 года назад

1. Facelift chrome kidneys, 2. Original M5 rims, 3. M5 badge on the trunk lid ... of course! Great car by the way!

@asadh4870 3 года назад

On facelift E39's, the parking light is off when the full lights are on and only omit when the indicators are on. You should look into getting the harness or coding the parking lamps off.

@cgc1814 3 года назад

Quick word of advice, if the changes you did don't stop the power steering leak, there is a o-ring gasket that goes under the power steering reservoir cap that needs to be replaced to stop the power steering fluid from seeping out.

@TonysTechAndCars 3 года назад

I am very surprised you didn't replace that when the engine was out. Put the stock Wheels back on! They are perfect

@dennismassey3259 3 года назад

Your lights are perfect, the whiter light tone looks more modern and the chrome bezel kidney grills look much better than the black ones.

@russ4AGE 3 года назад

@joannaatkins822 3 года назад

Keep on keeping on guys! Your aspirational content will always keep us coming back for more. Not many of us can afford to keep a cool car on the road, only a reliable one

@marcop3517 3 года назад

How about painting the black kidney grilles to match the blue paint. When that looks crap - you can put the chrome ones back in. On a lighter note - your 'Process of elimination' for the temp issue really means 'unloading the parts cannon first'. Even the mightly Lexus has issues sometimes. You maybe happy to know that the thermostat on my own LS430 recently failed too so they're not impervious either...though I didn't change out half the engine components trying to diagnose it :) Great vid as always.

@chrisr4815 3 года назад

That "pump" is called a reservoir.

@Lilking619able 3 года назад

Great wagon build with the heart of an m5, definitely earned the m5 badge.

@endlessbmwprojects6061 3 года назад

Nice videos!!! Regarding the key, you don't need to re-code it. Just take apart the old one and there should be a tiny little chip (it looks like a black tiny- 3mm or so- squared piece)stuck to the plastic cover (i think in the front part of the key fob where the metal rod meets the plastic). That chip is the one that sends the signal to the steering column that you have the "proper" key and lets the engine crank.

@vegardulven9515 3 года назад

Chrome kidneys, and polished lips on the stars would be a good look imo

@jesterfin123 3 года назад

Agreed!

@ef7andapp170 3 года назад

@adamdavidson8949 3 года назад

Chrome grills, throwing stars and the m5 badge would be perfect finish to the car

@Napster050 3 года назад

for key coding (if you still have immo) you need tool called "AK90". Pairing the remote is simple as turning ignition and touching button 3 times. For key cut search locally :)

@MrSkyline11 3 года назад

About a key. I recently changed this old one to newer key (kinda from F10 bmw but with folding blade). Guy from aliexpress cutted blade pattern from a picture that I send him. If you want to have old key to be still in use you must code new transponder chip. If you don't care about old key you just can put transponder in new key fob and that will work. If you want to code it by yourself you can buy ak90+ and new id 44 chip PCF7935AA or PCF7930AA will work with ak90+

@javemaceda 3 года назад

Chrome grills where fine when you had the chrome accents on the windows but since you've blacked those out then it makes sense to black out the grills too :)

@2007dalin 3 года назад

those idler pulleys can easily just replace the bearings.. 5 dollars for a 6204 or 6203 bearing or two each

@boyanmilushev8503 3 года назад

About the key coding... If you don't want to use both of the keys (old and new one) for starting the car, it is not necessary to code anything. Just take the original transponder chip out of the old key, put it in the new key and after you cut the key properly, you will be able to start the car. The programing of the remote control for the central locking system is very simple. Just get into the car, close the door, put the original key with the working immobilizer (transponder) chip in, turn it on position 2, turn it back and remove it, get the new key and press and hold the centtral button with the BMW logo on it, and press the UNLOCK button 3 times while still holding the LOCK button. The car should lock and unlock, which means that you successfully programmed the key. You have 10 seconds to repeat that procedure with the original key to program it to unlock and lock the car. If you don't do it, you will not be able to use the old key anymore.

@aconnjob5456 3 года назад

Front lip please! They make that front bar look so tuff. Will really finish off the look.

@carrier7676 3 года назад

I own an e39 M5, and finding little leaks and ticks that just rub you the wrong way will always happen 😂! Another great video! Thanks guys!

@Casey_Schmidt 3 года назад

The chrome kidney grills look much better.

@blkferrari355 3 года назад

Go with matte black grills since the window trim is now black as well. it matches better and gives it a sportier look consistent with M car theme.

@weareawake1116 3 года назад

I think the Chrome kidney grilles look best next to the hood logo. Leave the M5 badge off, Pete! It’s so sleeper and classy looking now.

@CharlesChristena 3 года назад

Seriously. This build series speaks to me on a whole new level. I bought an E46 M3 for 19 grand. So far I'm another 16 grand in the hole in repairs. And I still have more stuff on the list. Please kill me.

@manqkasgarage6215 3 года назад

Power steering reservoir is also a filter ,you need to replace it,it’s not expensive. And it’s the same as many models either newer or older.

@Akitso 3 года назад

Very nice build. I could be wrong but that age BMWs came with oil caps that have Castrol written on them.

@CUJOtheMASTER 3 года назад

We drove with bad pulleys on an m52 for about 5 years. Never had an issue. Eventually we replaced them because we got tired of the sound

@thebeardedstate 3 года назад

For the key - if it has a built in transponder, get an AK90+ and pull your key lockout under the dash.

@tayk7100 3 года назад

bmw enthusiast here and imo the chrome ones look better on that car! Agree with the clean look!

@keyboard101101 3 года назад

Gloss Black Kidney grilles!!!

@rockervdrive 3 года назад

The old faulty parts have to end at some point. Right? 😅 I'm team black kidney grills since you blacked out all the other chrome.

@xozindustries7451 3 года назад

I was surprised you didn’t wrap the chrome on the grill when the vinyl guy was there doing the window surround. Also cut the strings off your hoodies if you’re working on equipment or running vehicles

@fpb3rd 3 года назад

Old key is EWS I, new key is EWS III. Might be possible to transfer transponder chips within keys and get the new key cut. Otherwise you would have to modify the wiring to upgrade to the EWS III module, then there would probably be coding, and still have to cut keys

@jpwilliams5264 3 года назад

I’m with you in the face lift kidneys. Black non facelift would be my pick. And yes to the badge, normally I’m all about stealth but that truly is an m5 wagon and the world needs to know.

@magmatoad 3 года назад

@ersinalp8121 3 года назад

I love the look of the wagon!! And usually I’m only into sedans. Great work guys 😍 but in my opinion, it will fit the sporty look with black ceiling in the interior. Anyway very beautiful car! Love from Denmark 🇩🇰

@bensonc627 3 года назад

All are classic bmw problem. I share few weird one that may help you later. If you stall while give the car throttle, don't assume it's the fuel pump. My 540i have a tired relay (still function, but fine burn mark at the contact point later)that have limit current to let the pump run at full power. Ignition switch fail that you need open your sun visor light before you can start the car. Lots of wired problems.

@macmurati 3 года назад

you can download ews ak90+ and order a cheap $15 cad chip encoder. There's a link on youtube that will show you how to pull the physical chip out of your old key, program it, and swap it to your new key. I've done it a ton of times and I'm in the burlington area if you guys have any questions. Good luck!

@Barfly76 3 года назад

No pressure testing the system before putting the coolant back in? Such an easy step to confirm the system is fixed. I suspect we will see another thermostat video in the near future.

@chanstoncochran 3 года назад

You can code the keys your self after you’ve had them cut there’s a few forum posts on it about specifically getting the updated keys. We did it for my buddy’s e38 pretty easy process

@jasonhooey5677 3 года назад

I totally forgot how funny you guys are. "I'm a bmw owner, I know everything"

@jonathanlong32 3 года назад

You should put a piece of rubber between the new bracket under the power steering reservoir, it might eventually wear through.

@rbestavros 3 года назад

FYI...Be careful when you were listening for pulley noise at end your Hoodie strings were hanging in the engine bay and could be hazard if they wrapped around cooling fan or belts..

@qrtrscale 3 года назад

I knew you'd change to back to the black grilles, exp. with the blacked out window trim.

@StanicM1 3 года назад

For the grille: Paint the outside "thick" bezel a gloss black. It looks unfinished being all matte black.

@TrackDayMiata 3 года назад

The key issue good luck, I had to order new key and cylinder with proof of ownership, directly from Germany took like 2 weeks. And it was super expensive like around 600$ us.

@brandonmartin9516 3 года назад

Shadow chrome kidney grilles! But the thinner bezel version. Love from Oakville.

@dbeckMSP 3 года назад

I’m glad we’ve seen both kidney grills but I gotta say the chrome looks less cheap. Which I feel bad saying because it’s probably just plastic and chrome is marketing but it looks so good

Dark kidney grilles go well with the blacking out of the sides. My .02 cents. Nice car for sure though all day long. Enjoy the vids guys.

@paulvina1974 3 года назад

I’m glad you fixed the M5 wheels. Now can you PLEASE adjust the center caps on the Lexus?? The cutouts not lining up with the lug nuts shows a gross lack of attention to detail

In fairness, to have done all that other stuff and not changed t'stat and idlers before the engine went in was sorta asking for trouble! :) You did the water pump already right? If not, I look forward to next episode on it... :D Really enjoyed this series, that M5T is so cool and you guys are great characters and fun on camera. I hope you do a full cost breakdown episode of the builds, I think that will be hilarious.
