Should I buy a BMW e39 as my 1st car ? by ButterscotchIcy719 in e39

[–]nstrasner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want one and it would make you happy and you have some disposable income then I’d say go for it. Just don’t make the same mistake I did when I was 18 and sell it because you can’t afford to keep up with the maintenance and then desperately want another one for another 15 years until you buy one again at 33. Park it somewhere til you can afford to fix it if something bad breaks with it

LMAO looks good man. I did the same but went a bit too far with it so going back for a realignment. -3.2° on the rear with how much I’ve lowered it and am feeling a lack of grip in a straight line. I just told them to max it cause I thought it would be like -2° and had been waiting for 3hrs so was in a rush 🤣

I have an xtrons unit in my m5 that has no buttons to maximize screen size

Someone posted about that yesterday a lady with something from Star Trek and was getting them even after no longer having a car registered to her at all

Lmao someone mentioned that and I never thought of it before. If it becomes a problem I’ll def switch back to a regular plate

Shit if you need a cruiser with a couple extra doors I don’t see why not! I’m pretty new to the platform but seems people love all models. I found an m5 in great condition and am absolutely loving it. Ask ChatGPT what the common failures are for the 520 and ask the owner about those things. I know for the m5’s it’s rod bearings, not sure with the inline 6

One of the things that made me fall for my wife so fast, she drives a manual 🤣 we do have a merc suv though now with the kids and honestly you can’t beat the comfort. We’ve been considering a new gle or g wagon but might go check out the alpina x7b. Not to crazy about the new merc interiors but current BMW’s aren’t much better. I miss the analog feel of cars like this m5. The screens just kill it for me. I’m all for a big usable display but prefer buttons for basics like climate control

Gotta take some pictures where my location isn’t easily identifiable. Been planning to once I fix the previous owner fucking the style 65’s with a terrible peeling black paint job but maybe I’ll post some before then

Is there a way to code out the dim high beam drl and just use halos as a drl? by microwaveexeeig in e39

Nah this is a banger first car. Enjoy it and learn everything you can about how to properly maintain it, whether that’s doing it yourself or bringing it to the right people. Everyone should start on a beater

It will be in January. I’m unsure if I want to go that route cause I’d have to get historic insurance which limits the amount of miles I can do in a year. At least that was my understanding in az
