Trust yourself. It's not that hard and I hear there's a great video on youtube to walk you through it.

Yes, I adjusted it to highbeam hotspot. Was very annoying

Segmented kevlar disc with lighteweight v8 flywheel

@@alexdoescars Thank you , I was just curious.

Possible? Yes. Feasible? No. Keep the airbag.

If by high beam you mean solenoid wires I left unconnected in the video then I guess technically yes. It will flash a lightbulb out warning unless codes out and might not pass inspection though. I later connected said wire to original high beam wires so now I have original halogen high beam and also have a xenon main beam that turns into a highbeam.

Not sure as I never used them on any car, pre or post facelift. Also you probably need to have a stock headunit for them to work. Everything else works though

@@alexdoescars maybe you can program them on aftermarket unit?

Maybe, haven't ever pressed them, they might as well have worked for all I know. I don't have the car anymore so cannot test it.

use realoem to find any part number on your bmw

Thank you. It's hard to believe it has 320 000km on it. Just one small spot of rust on it too, just starting in front of a rear wheel. Needs to be fixed asap

Uuc lightweight singlemass flywheel with their kevlar clutch disc

@@alexdoescars thanks. Does it rattle at idle?

@@AvusM5903 with clutch up in neutral yes, quite bad

My gearbox makes a noise in all gears but 5th. Could be a bad gear box. It’s still at the shop. They’ve not seen what the flywheel and clutch look like yet.

@@ravbarringThat sounds more like a gearbox issue. Mine is only rattling in neutral when clutch is not engaged as I swithed from dampenimg dual mass flywheel to undampened single mass. If you look up singlemass flywheel chatter/rattle, you'll find the sound.

Not sure if there is a difference. The should both have cutoff on the same side, so it really shouldn't matter

Wires connect solenoid to high beam harness. At the time of filming I didn't have a splitter. You connect it to high beams so that when you pull your high beam stalk, it moves a cutoff panel in front of your low beams turning it into high beam. So now you have your xenons working as high beams as well as old halogen high beams.

@@alexdoescars thank you.

I can't check now as the M is in winter storage and I don't remember. Probably grounded it to metal part of new projector

Happy to help

This did it in 12.8 :( She needs work though ...and to live somewhere warm and dry

@@alexdoescars Yes, your engine is healthy. According to German magazines (1998 - 2000), a brand new E39 M5 could do 5.0 s 0-100 km/h & 17.0 s 0-200 km/h. 17 - 5 = 12! Next time, try to use a device like DRAGY to record your accurate time or at least use your car's digital speedometer which is almost as precise as GPS. This engine is a masterpiece. If well-maintained, it lasts as high as a Toyota Camry engine but delivers far superior performance than the ugly and boring Toyota! S62B50 is a reliable beast! I'm looking forward to see more videos of your lovely M5!

@@Messergebnis-liebhaber I actually had an accelerometer on board that I used to calculate power of the car for a school project. Video was just an afterthought.

@@alexdoescars So, you are a schoolboy who owns and drives an E39 M5?!! What a great country you live in!! 😂

And also work full hours. You can study at any age here. I study mechanical engineering

Good question. Honestly, I don't know. If you are handy and want to go that route you could probably disassemble the projector and flip the cutoff shield but as there are moving parts, probably not that simple. If you do this, would be cool you made a video or a diy thread as there is no documentation I could find on this.

I'd say not too tough. Hardest part is probably removing the exhaust as it's quite heavy.

@@alexdoescars thanks Alex yup looks like the exhaust will be tough to remove. Luckily I have the mufflers chopped off haha

It's not too hard. Mufflers are the heaviest part so having them chopped will help a lot.

Hi Alex I am planning to do this job soon. However I will completely replace the driveshaft together with the CV joint. You marked the ends connecting to the differential and transmission. Since I will be replacing the entire driveshaft I won’t have marks on the ends. Can I just place the driveshaft in any orientation then?

I'm not sure. I think you might be good to install it in any position as it should be balanced but you shoud do some research on that. Worst case, there is 1/3 chance it goes right way anyway :)

I think the gap you are referring to is by design as the airbag needs to move to push the horn. At least to me it looks the same as every other facelift wheel I've seen and has worked great.

Short shifter and bushing refresh kit were from schmiedmann. Knob I bought from bmw dealer Pielmeier in germany.

Thanks. Non bakeable lights are a pain. It's very hard to get the olf leans cleanly off to fit a new one. Did you do it yet? How did it go?

I couldn't find exact splitter I used. But basically it was highbeam connector for car harness on one side and 2 connectors on other side, one for high beams in headlight and one for bixenon that I changed to fit one I installed in the video

I don't remember what brand name I have. Adjusting is very frustrating and takes lots of patience and some luck. I didn't get it exactly centered, but close enough as I don't even drive at night.

Yes

Not 100% sure, but I think it's 4300k

I bought these at xenonkauppa.fi which is local to me. If you google evox r v2 you will have plenty of vendors to choose from

@@alexdoescars Are they projecrors good after some time of use, or are they burnt ?

@@blagojcefiliposki1170 I only had these for about a year and a half on my car. So far still pristine

@@alexdoescars Thank you for this information. I hesitate to buy or not, but I will probably buy. 😀

@@blagojcefiliposki1170 i would definitely recommend if your light output is poor. Before I changed these my fog lights provided more light than my driving lights. It is literally a day and night difference from 20 year old worn out projectors

Hi, it's actually M4 thread. I just got to measuring it.

These are bmw parts ordered from a dealer. Next time I'm under the car I can try to find stamps of actual manufacturer. Bmw doesn't make these, they just put their logo on.

Nothing visible on flex disc and the csb is hidden under heat shield. These are quite reasonable at dealer prices, but if you do go with something else just pick a reputable manufacturer like lemförder for example

@@alexdoescars Thank you, man. I really appreciate it. I will check them out these days.

I had an extra pair and was curious how they worked and if they celis light could be put in a different housing. Those rear light bars would look amazing on e31 if I ever get my hands on one.

@@alexdoescars so the evoxr2s are basically bolt on, except its shorter projector than v1.0 and stock?

@@alexdoescars also, what kind of size and threads were the new studs?

@@wheresfuninthat yes they are bolt on if you don't mind the gap. Probably would work fine as is but the gap really bugged me. I'd recommend buying v1 instead of v2 for e39. As for the new studs I just got a threaded rod with appropriate nuts and cut it to pieces. I think it was m8 but could be misremembering. You can easily measure the stock stud threads when they are out

@@alexdoescars thanks, shouldve asked you before ordering my v2.0's, dont know if they are better than v1.0's, but i like simple oem fitment rather than diy stuff. Oh well, will have to return to your video once i get them shipped to me :) hopefully theyre not gonna be pain in the ass to install.

Don't know about e60 but on e39 it really helps to remove the cross member. At least on reassembly if you want to use torque wrench

@@alexdoescars you do have to spin the shift to one position for each nut but saved me time as I was on my back on the drive

I didn't have correct splitters at the time of fiming, but I did leave a connector for bi-xenon solenoid hangin outside the housing. Since then I have connected it to high beam and yes, it is a huge improvement :)

@@alexdoescars Oh, good, that would have been a shame :)

Mine is leaking at the seams right now, so at least will need a reseal at some point.

Thank you. Still have the car, going to store it for the winter soon. I got couple videos filmed but started school half a year ago and work at the same time so time to edit and film has been scarce. Also budget on car is tighter now that I had to reduce my working hours. A lot of work is planned for the car: suspension needs a refresh, clutch is slipping a bit, timing chain guides and a complete audio system overhaul to name a few. If I happen to win a lottery these are coming soon 😀

@@alexdoescars subscribed. 🤘🤘

I think of it as a fuse, with years of abuse I'd rather have my flex disc go than my differential. I have no experience in American cars nor have I ever worked on an front wheel drive car, do they even have flex dics? These Germans seem to require constant maintenance to keep you from boredom :)

because those cars you mention arent rare wheel drive.. the guibo discs go through stress heat during every drive cycle they wear off over time

Glad I could help. I recommend doing shifter bushings while driveshaft is out if not already done.

@@alexdoescars Already did those when I did the clutch 30k miles ago. I just didn't do the CSB while i was in there mistakenly so it took out my giubo. I will say this, loosen the 18mm bolt for holding the two shaft halves together while the shaft is still bolted to the car. That way you don't need to do any janky stuff to break it loose off of the car. I also tightened mine this way too

@@mikeking5834Good tip. I realized iit too late

@@alexdoescars I've watched at least 4-5 videos on this subject matter and no one says to loosen it before taking the shaft out, it's not just you :)

Vaihda säätötangot niin ei tarvi myöhemmin enää valoja availla. Saa aluniinisena jos ei halua enää ikinä niitä ajatella, mutta muovisetkin luultavasti kestää auton loppuiän. Jos tekisin ite uudestaan niin ehdottomasti v1 projektoreilla. Maksaa muutaman kympin enemmän mut pitäis olla suoraan asennettavat. Jos ei vieläkään valoteho riitä niin ballastit vaihtoon.

@@alexdoescars Mistä tilasit projektorit ja säätötangot? Tarvitseeko jotain johtoja tai liittimiä noiden lisäksi?Onko jotain suositeltavaa paikkaa? Laitetaanko tuo tiivistenauha sinne uraan osien väliin vai tuleeko se liitoksen päälle pinnalle?

Säätötangot tais olla tuningdesignista ja projektorit xenonkaupasta. Jos tuon bixenonin haluat toimimaan niin tarvii vetää johdot solenoidilta pitkien liittimelle. Projektorien mukana tuli pieni pätkä johtoa mutta adapterin ainakin vaatii jos ei halua leikellä auton johtosarjaa. Osien väliin uraan jää alkuperäiset liimat. Lämmittää uudestaan ja painaa kiinni niin pysyy. Vai tarkoititko tuota butyyliteippiä? Se pitää vain noi kumit kiinni umpiossa.

@@alexdoescars watch Anteeksi että kyselen kaikenlaista mutta kun katselin asiaan liittyviä juttuja niin tuli tällainen vertailu kohdalle. Laittaisitko tästä 1 ja 2 mallin erosta huolimatta 1 version?

1999

@@alexdoescars is this single of dual stage airbag? i really want the facelift steering wheel in my M5 but mine is from 02-99 so single stage airbag is it possible?

Mine is 06/99 so dual stage. Switch from single to dual happened in 03/99 so yours should be single. If you want to make sure, one clear difference is when you remove the steerig wheel, if slipring stays on the wheel it's a single stage. If it stays on the steering column its dual. Because of this not only are airbags not interchangeable but neither are steering wheels. Swapping is possible but you need to swap at least steering column, airbag modules and probably lots of other stuff like seatbelt pre-tensioners and rest of the airbags. If you have a donor car and lots of time, should be doable.

Also the leather on the shift knob will stretch over time

@@oryeo8583 I also thought about reusing leather from old shifter as some people on forums said f10 leather will not stretch properly over e39 shifter frame. But I really liked the look and feel of new leather so I had to try to make it work. Gad I did
