Hi guys. Wanted to introduce myself.
I'm originally from Europe but past 3 years I've been living and working in beautiful Santa Barbara in California.
Been a long time BMW enthusiast. I own a 2002 e39 530i Sport for quite a while now. Currently 140k on the clock and still runs awesome.
In the past I had few e38s, 2001 740i Titan Silver Sport, 2001 740iL Jet Black and 2000 740iL Alpine White for whom I still regret for selling it.
Anyways this is my e39 in Toledo Blue Color where I've done many things to keep it running.
Recently I bought 05 330Ci ZHP. Kinda rushed into buying it but I always wanted one. Unfortunately tranny is auto, but it has 117k on the clock and I got it from the original owner with 2 keys and books. Though didn't get all the records I did managed to trace all history and it was serviced at Bob Smith BMW while still under the warranty and after that in BMW Clinic in Reseda. Trying to get my hands on hard copies currently.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the car. Needs some things to get it in the condition that I can live with.
These are the pics that I have for right now.
It has a gray leather interior which is in pretty good shape. Leather still looks great and soft to the touch.
It had an airbag recall so right now it's with the dealership where they are replacing them. Should pick it up later today.
Some plans are to repaint the front bumper since it has scratches which I can't stand. After that I'm gonna polish and protect the whole car.
Over the weekend I'm going to do the Vanos because why not. Also replace oil and all filters.
Already replaced front sway bar links and the rest of the suspension looks and feels good. Bushings were replaced by previous owner and everything else is intact, all the ball joints still good.
Got the new floor mats and still not sure what to do with the steering wheel. Probably going to get it rewrapped at Coby's.
That's it for now.
