BMW E39 530i Starter and Intake Install

Installation of the starter motor and intake on my 2003 BMW 530i. I buy bimmers in need of TLC and fix things as I drive them. This car is getting a new starter, intake boot and breather hoses. I also just replaced the torque converter. Please like, share and subscribe! #bimmerlife #E39

Another great video, Willie! Great to see another perspective of working on the CCV, too. How did you plug the vacuum tube back to the back of the manifold? If you did it without opening up the manifold again, that's a feat that deserves a video of its own! Used a mirror?

I think I just did it by feel

Just a suggestion on lighting. The driver's side engine bay (all the tubes and connectors and MAF) is too dim. If you could put a light on a tripod to the driver's side, it would be a great improvement to your great videos! Thanks again Willie.

On my list of things to buy someday. More lights. There’s never enough.
