My 1998 2.5TDS E39 Touring with 635000km(394000 miles) mileage.

So, i was bored and here i am.
2018 summer I bought it, and it looked like it:


Air blower didnt work,nether of rear trunk switches worked, there was some rust, but not too much, rear number light cover came with car, but later it flew off on gravel road and hooks were destroyed then.
It had eyebrows, but after buying, hood was half open and eyebrows flew away on road, so i lost em quite early.
It got pre fl headlights, but previous owner cut out middle part and put magnifier glasses in them, Alpina front lip.
(Pic before first oil change)






First fix was rear glass switch, i just glued 2 wires there, 1 at top and other to bottom, so when it is pressed they touch, real easy fix.
Next part was painting alpina text to white



Quite at the same time i started to get problems with rear air suspension.

All i did to fix it was unplugging controller from it and letting air out of and driving around like that, when it dropped too low i plugged it back in until it filled bags to normal height.
Next i installed new speakers and tried to fix right side rocker a bit.



I blocked EGR hole also with coin.
Winter time i messed more with air suspension and front left ABS sensor wire went bad from all the drifting around.


In spring time i ran over a rabbit, broke right headlight and bumper plastic cover, but atleast it didnt break bumper too much, bought used chrome number cover also that time.

So then i was quite done with air suspension, and i rigged it up to a switch so i could manually adjust it, but on gravel road i left switch up and forgot about it, so it blowed up right side bag.



So i got a used bag from friend for 5€ , but it was left side one, had to adjust it a bit from top and bottom, but it fitted.
For some reason the bag i blew up was alot lower and with thicker material than the one i got from friend, why was that performace one ?


Next thing i installed straight pipe, used an old audi catalysator that was empty, and i ran out of pipe also, but finished it later.

Then i got Style 81's for 110€(~125$) and painted them white.

Also bought used front TA Technix coilovers for 50€(~56$).

So now my beemer looks like this.



Next thing i need to do is remove rust and fix smaller problems, and i wanna change intercooler spot, so it would be a wide one that could fit into bumber.
I want more power, but i dont want to add evrymod to it.
