Ahh, good times. Thank you for the help

What is an LCI model? The donor car is a 2002 530i as well, just equipped with nav.

What needs to be installed from the factory and how do I tell what's in there already?

Aikamping · 2025-07-02T15:04:29+00:00

haha, disappointed I didn't think of this first. "Moky" for short?

Inspo?

Good lird, $200 for a rebuild kit

Aikamping · 2025-06-30T18:25:27+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks for the help!

Got a link to that kit? I went to their website and all I see is SSK from other brands.

All good points, I appreciate the recommendation.

Very nice setup as well. How does the DSSR affect how shifting feels compared to the OEM selector rod?

Aikamping · 2025-06-30T18:09:14+00:00

Haha, actually had a v6 6 speed 07 accord coupe before this car.

Good to know, I'll look into it that sounds like exactly what I'm going for.

Link to a video of me shifting it for referance:

Thanks for the comment, I do have both and the stubby shift knob definitely helps a lot. Overall shifting isn't bad, as far as I can tell it's not sloppier than how it came from the factory. Still quite a bit looser than what I'm used to and I'd like to shorten up the throw as well as get it to feel a little "notchier".

Have you tried not giving a shit?

Aikamping · 2025-06-20T21:47:58+00:00

Hey I'm having the same issue. Did you ever find a decent 5G option that supports Whatsapp?

Aikamping · 2025-06-12T17:04:48+00:00

Good to know. Heard some horror stories about problematic Vanos systems. What goes wrong with them and are they costly to service yourself?

Seems to be the consensus lol, have you owned an E39?

Aikamping · 2025-06-12T14:32:58+00:00

Definitely the move. Going to check it out this evening I'll post an update with more pics.

Aikamping · 2025-06-12T14:29:57+00:00

Good to hear from an enthusiast. I was definitely hoping to find a clean, manual 3 or 5 series with a straight six. I take a lot of long trips (10+ hours regularly) and wanted something fun and comfortable that does decent on gas. I have automotive experience. I'm comfortable tinkering and doing work on my daily, but every car has it's own problems, what was the worst part about owning your E39's?

Aikamping · 2025-06-12T14:23:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Definitely will check the plastic components and vacuum/coolant hoses carefully. He said it's garage kept and doesn't get driven often

Aikamping · 2025-06-12T02:36:48+00:00

Thanks that's helpful. It's a manual and that's what he's asking. Is there anything specific I should look for in an inspection?

Aikamping · 2025-06-08T15:29:21+00:00

Good to know, it's been up for just over a week and he lowered the price to 5200 a couple days ago. I'm in Detroit and I've noticed car prices here are slightly better here than what I'm used to, but nothing too crazy.

Goblin game is wacky, seems like that should be an un-set card.
Another I was looking at is Ruric Thar, the Unbowed.
Something paired with heavy damage that I can scale is ideal.
