In this riveting episode by M539 Restorations, the mighty E39 530i touring undergoes a transformation of epic proportions. Out with the old automatic transmission, and in with the revered E46 M3 6-speed manual gearbox, along with the coveted E39 M5 limited slip differential. The team faces a myriad of challenges, from stubborn rusty bolts to a pesky starter pin, but their determination knows no bounds.
As they delve deeper into the intricate process of manual conversion, the team encounters a coolant leak issue stemming from the thermostat housing, a common nuisance in these older models. With precision and expertise, they meticulously remove the automatic shifter and brake pedal to make room for the manual components, ensuring a seamless transition. The clutch line is deftly fed through the firewall, marking a crucial step towards achieving the desired manual setup.
With a blend of technical prowess and sheer grit, the team repurposes old wires for the clutch switch module, streamlining the wiring process for the manual conversion. Each component is handled with care and finesse, showcasing a deep understanding of the inner workings of this automotive masterpiece. As the project nears completion, the E39 530i touring stands ready to embrace its new identity as a true manual driving enthusiast's dream.
