Part 2 of project Rottweil!
Making great progress with the E39 Touring and making the trusty M54 engine run perfectly again. We got a lot done in this episode and finished a thorough service of the engine. We are now left to deal with the suspension, brakes, interior, paint and lots of other small issues.
It feels awesome completing smaller jobs, fixing stuff one by one, and getting the car to run right again. I hope you like it!

Can wait for the next video. Luckily I had a project on my e46 coupe to work on, replacing the transmission filter and oil. First time always takes me longer than but I learned a lot and it was fun. The stupid hand pump ended up being the biggest hurdle, definitely going to research another brand for the future. Ig: thachoice
