First look/testdrive of the Scania, leaking manifold, leaking air, a couple of 100kgs extra with gravel dirt and dust both inside and outside of cabin. But loads of torque and drove nice Previous owner was a blaster/driller of mountain/stone, and hauled big equipment, dirty, oily and greasy, along with heaploads of stone-dust around the […]
BMW E39 540 Diff bushing swap
the bushings came out quite easy, but to get them back in was more of a pain in the ass, a bit of silicone lubrication and they finaly popped back in. Sort of reversed order vs getting them out in the pictures above, a set of 3/4 sockets came in handy. one bolt broke […]
BMW E39 540 Clutch+pressureplate swap
Standard fight to get the gearbox down, it was also a lot heavier than the fivespeed in the m64b44 swapped 535i e39 old vs new clutch Swapped gearlinkage bushings also, makes a big difference for the feel of the shifter
BMW E39 540 Replaced upper timing chain cover gaskets
Replaced the upper timing chain cover gaskets on my 540i, see 4 and 5 below. I thought it would be a good time to replace them, since most of the other gaskets already had been replaced. Old ones were literally hard as plastic, with no rubber flexibility left in them whatsoever. They broke […]
Volvo Viking D67 Injection Pump Diaphragm broken, high idle as a result
Starting the Volvo Viking with the D67 engine worked good, but after about 30 seconds, the idle started to rise, slow but steady until it peaked out at max rpm. Turned out the Injection pump diaphragm was broken (some kind of leather) Ordered a new one from ebay and swapped out, worked perfectly The pump […]
BMW E39 540 Winkfp guide program DME
Using Winkfp to program a DME with a different software First of all you need a K+DCAN cable. Pin 7+8 in the OBD-connector need to be bridged if you are going to program a BMW manufactured before 2002. This is done to activate both of the K-bus lines used by the older cars. Pin […]

BMW E39 540 Swap/retrofit steering box e39 535i to e39 m5 + servotronic disassembly
Decided it was a good time to swap the steering box while the engine was out of the car. 3.8 vs 3 in ratio something. Having replaced all of the other components in the suspension over the years, a fresh steering box was the last missing part for that new car feel. And it made […]
BMW E39 540 535i E39 to 540i engine swap completed
Swapping over the old engine harness to the new engine. The new M62B44 originally came from a car with an auto transmission, and therefore some of the plugs and connectors differed from the ones in my manual 535i. Replacing the steering box with the new one out of an M5 E39. The steering ratio is quicker(3 […]
BMW E39 540 5 speed gearbox e39 535i – ZF S5D 320Z
Also found in the E36 328/E39 528/E36 M3 3.0 but with a different bellhousing than on my E39 535i 5 speed from 1997. ZF S5D 320Z has different oil depending on the label (apparently?), dont know why, but mine has the ATF fluid. Swapped the old ATF that had roughly 370k km on it with 1.3 […]
BMW E39 540 Engine swap m62b35 to m62b44, removal of old engine
Removed the driveshaft, gearbox, exhaust and loosened the engine harness from the chassis. We kept the AC-compressor “in the car” aswell as the headers on the engine, this turned out to be really tight. Had to remove the radiator, engine mounts, aswell as right side engine mount bracket (AC-pump to keep the pressure of the […]
BMW E39 540 Paint BMW magnesium valve covers m60/m62 engine
Valve cover gaskets are a weak spot on the M60/M62 engines, and before dropping the M62B44 into the 535i, the gaskets and all of the 24 rubber grommets were replaced. So I figured it was a perfect time to do some touch up on the paint. Old paint residue on the inside of the valve […]

Instead of buying the BMW tool 114180 we grinded a regular t60 socket down to be able to get throu to the flywheelbolts, dont use a t55 as these might (or rather will) destroy the bolthead. needed to do more than in this picture later on, this was just a tad to little, instead of buying […]
