From rotting at the dealership lot to a near-factory fresh car. That's the story that this 2002 BMW E39 530i Touring aka project Rottweil has the tell. In the past episodes, we addressed the mechanical side of things and the interior, now it's time for the exterior as we completely transform old and battered Toledo blue paint. At the end of the video, you can find a complete breakdown cost of this project.

First Project Chicago and now this - your talent at returning a vehicle to looking brand new knows no bounds!

And no budget constraints 😅 although to be fair, it’s still a good car for €17k, but insurance will never value this car so high probably.

@christeranttila9927 Год назад

@@HNedel This is a good point. Is there any way to insure this for an agreed value that would pay out 17k in case it was totaled?

@HNedel Год назад

@@christeranttila9927 in my limited experience, i went to a comparison portal, entered the requested vehicle data, and got a quote based on the estimated value. They have some database and stuff to estimate this automatically. For special cases probably a valuation in person would be needed, i guess. Not sure how that works

I bet the TUV inspectors love when you bring in your projects. Such a treat from the mundane things they must see.

@Rockport1911 Год назад

For once they dont instantly take out the " poking screwdriver" to hunt for rust holes in a 90s BMW. Many E36 are rotten away, many E39 are only still good because people look after them more...

@LeonBraun Год назад

Thought is it illegal two retrofit bi-xenon. Would love to hear what the tuv inspector reallay said to this one. From my understanding it's completly illegal to change anything in the headlights, including the projectors, even if you don't use the bi-xenon function.

@JoGe49 Год назад

@@LeonBraun Mosty police goes after cars that look modified. If your car looks stock you can drive around in a litteral rustbucket and they are most likely not gonna care. As for Headlight Retrofits, he did the TÜV inspection beforehand if I remember correctly.

@LeonBraun Год назад

Yes true, I think the biggest problem is in case of an accident. Insurance companies can be very picky if something safety relevant is not stock.

The most important thing is that it keeps us e39 owners inspired to overcome challenges of bringing our bimmers back to life and keeping them in good condition. Because their numbers are going down every year, and sometimes I drive for weeks before I see another e39, and even then most of them are saloons as opposed to my touring.

@SimonWallwork 3 месяца назад

It just really describes my approach to my stuff and of course including my cars. super amazing how the E39 came out, i think it deserves way more than the cost you endured as it is simply a piece of art that is absolutely restored to perfection.

@TopGoose-bf1mx Год назад

Very nice to see someone go from a novice at paint correction to working for and achieving professional results, arguably better than people I have seen who have been doing it for years. You have great technique, but more importantly you possess the patience that deters many people from properly correcting paint. Props to not only the folks who taught you, but you as a person. Great work.

@philrohtla6458 Год назад

The E39 Touring is probably my favourite wagon, and you have brought this one more than back -- it's better than new.
