StudentWorks Bmw e39

[Milanko]

Hello,
My name is Adam and I am from Slovakia. Now I am 19 y.o. I want to share something about my car Bmw E39 530d automatic 135kW. I am new here, so I try upload some photos soon. And sorry about my low english too

I bought this car from my brother in August 2013, so now I got it year and a half. Car was wrecked in the past, so I have lots of work to fix it. But later repair was turned into completely remodeling. Before reconstruction it was completely stock car, but now is stock too
Due to a car accident car is based on the English version of the body from 528i.

Car: Bmw e39 530d automat saloon. Nov 1999
Exterior: original Mpacket from M5, custom exhaust, yellow fogs and high beams
Interior: Complete black interior, black leather elektric sitz

During repairs

This is how I got it





And then I changet my mind. I got a plan I rebuild my car and then go to Worthersee 2k14 trip. I started six months before the Worthersee start. Here is some photos of reconstruction. Next time I write something about Air ride update and worthersee trip. Hope you will enjoy.

Gifts Arrived!

I was running this setup:
car heigh
-front stock
-rear -35

wheels styling 32
front: 7JR17 225/45
rear: 8JR17 245/40



Then I started making my air suspension by mysefl
In short: Bags rubena, double red compresor and some solenoids








Some photos from way to worthersee 2k14 trip:


And then it happen! Front right Mcpherson broke and we must to park car on restestaion Maria Elend. Me and my friend stay there for about 16 hours. We were siting only and waiting for rescue car

[e39hamann]

Nice progress! Any plans for new wheels?

[Milanko]

Thank you for your positive feedback.
Yep I bought another wheels this summer. I always want BBS LM or Dare LM, but I do not have enough money So I got Styling 95 from 7series. They got 235/40 on front and 275/35 on rears.. so absuletelly bullshit for e39

Now I run: styling95
front: 9J19 et24 225/40
rear: 10J19 et24 235/40 (but I got 235/35 for next season)

Old Air setup. missing it






My suspension broke and we stay tuned on highway

Awesome babe , I like this car, but you need better photos

[Milanko]

Spring comes and we went out to have some relax. My friend make some shoots for me. Now I am making some modification of air suspension and clean up the paint with 3M finish.. I have to prepare for Worthersee trip.
Have anybody some experience with front camber on E39? I use camber plates, but its not as much of camber as on rear?
Here they are, hope you enjoy it
