E39 525dA 2000 [RO]

[Bimmer39]

Hello guys,

I will be writing in English since I am recently established in The Netherlands and I didn't get to learn dutch as much as I wanted to. My name is Alex, I am a student in Arnhem, Gelderland and I am originally from Romania. But let's talk about the cars

It's been 6 months since I got the "Black Beast". It is a 2000 525dA which originally was a Non FaceLift car. It's done 245.000km (real) with a full service history and it has a full custom remap (199HP on a dyno). Since I got the car, I tried to do as much as I could on it (as much as my student "income" allows it).

• 540i Brake kit (324mm) with Zimmerman pads/rotors on the front and completely overhauled calipers
• New calipers/rotors on the back
• Original BMW M-Tech Bodykit (skirts, front bumper, spoiler, rear bumper)
• New Facelift Headlights
• New Facelift Tail Lights
• OBC High
• Style 167 17' wheels
• Swirl Flaps cancelling
• Aftermarket NAV unit

At the moment, I need to change the Valve Cover, Manifold and Injector gaskets since the valve cover is leaking a bit of oil and I want to do them all at the same time. I am looking for a cheap workshop that could do it for me since I don't have a place to work on my car in Arnhem. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. I am looking forward to meeting some of you guys (maybe E39 owners in Arnhem or around). Thank you for welcoming me!

Kind regards, Alex.
