Hey all! Just bought a 528i touring that’s been sitting for 5+ years at the shop I work at and I hope to bring it back to life and daily it. Sold it to me for $500usd! I’m a entry level mechanic and never had a project car so this will be fun!

My shop says original motor blew so they put in another m52 single vanos. Not exactly sure the miles. P/S leaks and couldn’t keep the engine running without starter fluid.

I’m gonna change the oil, spark plugs, battery, fuel pump + filter, and power steering pump+hoses+pully. Hopefully it’ll start so I can drive it home at least. Kinda wanna get it running at least so I can register it. Then I’ll change out all the other fluids(transmission,coolant,brake, diff).


Any E39 tips are greatly appreciated!!
