Talking Sooo I picked up a e39 the other day
So ya.. I got it for 3k... Was throwing a CHeck engine light and ran like shit! And one rim cracked.. Went to wheel wizards and BAM! Wheel fixed
.. So I found out had a baaad VAC leak.. Fixed, problem was the vortex oil seperater.... BUT I still had the check engine .. Sooo found out wut it was .. Miss fire on cylinder1.. I replaced all spark plugs and that coil... Went to shop had the computer reset ...... CAR RUNS aMazing now!!!! All I need is a m5 front bumper.

Head has been rebuilt including new VANOS
Daiana software
full bilstian suspension
OZ wheels
new clutch
all electronics work!

Where is two pics.. It's shorty as he'll and does not make car look as good as it really is

when I brought it home:



With some worK done and wheels refinished, looks way way better I just need to take a Better pic besides a gas station stop!

Always fun to grab something for a good deal, give it some TLC, and before you know it, it now works wonderfully.

Congrats!
