BMW Routine Maintenance & Tune-Up Packages for BMW 5 Series E39 (1996-2003)

Don't up with the maintenance on your car is the smart thing to do. For one thing, it prevents costly repairs in the future. For another, your car performs better, making aftermarket upgrades more worthwhile. And a well-maintained car with complete service records can add substantially to a car's resale value. Our service packages for your M5 will ensure you get many more miles from your BMW muscle car.

The M5 is a special car in BMW's line-up and it takes special attention to maintain its lofty output. Looking after the M5's various needs and problem areas will reward you with a better M ownership experience and make your car stand out from less cared-for cars if/when it's time to sell. In addition to the normal maintenance items listed below, you may also want to check or replace the following:
+ fuel pump (especially if the car is hard to start or stumbles in the RPM range)
+ front (pre-cat) oxygen sensors
+ check valve cover gaskets, intake plenum seals, vacuum lines, and hoses for leaks
+ service or replace crankcase vent valve/oil separator system
+ VAN0S solenoid rebuild or replacement
+ have an engine oil analysis done annually. This will make it easier to spot internal engine wear, including rod bearing wear, as well as head gasket failure and coolant loss.
+ replace camshaft position sensors
+ secondary air pump system test or service

Our parts are OE, OEM, or performance alternatives that we have been using since 1993 so you get top quality parts, first-rate service, and unbeatable expertise.
