    Maintenance 
    Suspension, front,  inspecting 
    Inspection of the  front  suspension and steering  includes a 
    check of all moving parts 
    forwear and excessive play. Inspect 
    ball  joint and tie-rod rubber seals and boots  for cracks 
    ortears 
    that could allow the entry of dirt,  water,  and other 
    contaminants. See 
    310 Front  Suspension. 
    Suspension,  rear, inspecting 
    Differential and rear drive axle service consists  of checking 
    and changing the gear  oil, inspecting  for leaks, and  checking 
    the drive axle 
    CV joint  boots  for damage. 
    The  areas  where 
    lealts are most likely to occurare around the 
    drive shaft and  drive axle mounting flanges. For more  infor- 
    mation on identifying oil leaks  and theircauses,  see 
    330 Rear 
    Suspension  and 
    331 Final Drive. 
    Tires,  checking  inflation pressure 
    Correct tire pressures  are important to handling  and stability, 
    fuel  economy,  and tire wear. Tire pressures  change with tem- 
    perature. Pressures should  be 
    checked oRen during season- 
    al temperature  changes. Correct inflation pressures  can be 
    found  on the drivers  door pillar and in the owners  manual. 
    Note that tire pressures should be higher  when the car  is 
    more heavily loaded. 
    WARNING- 
    Do  not  inflate  any tire to a pressure  higher than the tires  max- 
    imum  inflation  pressure  listedon the sidewall.  Use care  when 
    adding air  to warm tires.  Warm tire pressures can  increase as 
    much  as 
    4 psi (0.3 bar) over their coldpressures. 
    Tires,  rotating 
    BMW does not  recommend tire  rotation. Due to the cars sus- 
    pension design, the  front tires begin to  wear first at the  outer 
    shoulder and the  reartires begin to wearfirst  at the  middle  of 
    the tread  or inner  shoulder.  Rotating the tires  may adversely 
    affect road handling  and tire grip. 
    Transmission service, automatic 
    The automatic transmissions installed in E39 models are 
    filled  with special automatic transmission fluid. The transmis- 
    sion lubricant type can  be found on  the type-plate  on the 
    side  of the  transmission.  The recommended lubricants  are 
    listed earlier in  this repair group. See  Fluids and lubricants. 
    If  in doubt, consult an authorized BMW dealer  for alternate

    fluid use and  the most-up-to-date information  regarding 
    transmission operating  fluids. 
    The automatic  transmission is not  equipped with  a dipstick. 
    Therefore, checking the  ATF level  is an  involved  procedure 
    which  includes measuring  and maintaining a specified ATF 
    temperature during  the checking procedure. 
    For more  complete 
    ATF service information, including 
    checking 
    ATF level and  ATF filter  replacement  procedures, 
    see 
    240 Automatic  Transmission. 
    Transmission service, manual 
    Manual transmission  service consists  of inspecting for leaks 
    and  checking  the fluid. Evidence of  transmission leaks is 
    like- 
    ly to  be  seen  around the  driveshaft mounting flange and at the 
    bottom of  the bellhousing. 
    NOTE- 
    For  more information  on identifying  oil 
    leaks and their 
    causes, see  230 Manual  Transmission  and210 Clutch.

    Maintenance 
    BODY AND INTERIOR  MAINTENANCE 
    Body  and hinges, lubricating 
    Door locksand loclccylinderscan be  lubricated with an oil that 
    contains graphite. 
    Body  and doorhinges,  hood latch and doorcheclc rods should 
    be lubricated  with 
    SAE 30 or SAE 40 engine oil. Lubricate 
    seat runners with  multipurposegrease.  Do not apply any oil to 
    rubber parts. 
    If door weather-strips  are sticking, lubricate 
    them  with silicone spray or talcum powder.  The hood release 
    cable  should  be lubricated  as well. 
    The use  of winter 
    lock deicer sprays should  be lkept to an 
    absolute minimum, as  the alcohol  in the  deicer will wash  the 
    grease  out of the  lock assemblies  and may cause locks  to 
    corrode  internally  or to become  difficult to operate. 
    Exterior  washing 
    The longer dirt  is left  on the  paint,  the greater the risk  of dam- 
    aging  theglossy  finish, 
    eitherby scratching  or by  thechemical 
    effect  dirt particles may have  on the painted  surface. 
    Do  not wash  the car  in direct  sunlight.  If the  engine hood  is 
    warm, allow  it to  cool.  Beads  of water not only leave spots 
    when dried rapidly  by the sun  or heat from  theengine, but also 
    can act  as small magnifying glasses  and burn  spots  into the 
    finish. Wash  the car with a mixture of lukewarm water  and a 
    car  wash  product.  Rinse using  plenty of clear  water.  Wipe the 
    body dry with a  sofl cloth towel  or chamois to prevent 
    water-spotting. 
    Interior  care 
    Dirt spots  can usually  be removed  with lultewarm soapy water 
    or a dry  foam cleaner.  Use spot  remover for grease and oil 
    spots.  Do not  pour  the liquid  directly on the carpet or fabric, 
    but dampen a clean cloth  and rub carefully, starting  at the 
    edge  of the  spot  and working inward. Do not use gasoline, 
    naphtha, or other flammable substances. 
    Leather upholstery and trim 
    Leather upholstery and trim should  be periodically cleaned 
    using  a slightly damp  cotton or wool cloth.  The idea  is to get 
    rid  of the  dirt  in the  creases  and pores  that can cause brittle- 
    ness  and premature  aging. On heavily soiled  areas,  use a 
    mild  detergent (such as 
    wooliteQ) or other specially formulat- 
    ed  leather cleaners.  Dry the trim and upholstery completely   
    						
    							
    020-32 
    Maintenance 
    using a soft cloth. Regular  use of a good  quality leather  condi- 
    tioner will reduce drying and cracking  of the  leather. 
    Polishing 
    Use  paint polish only  if the  finish assumes a dull loolc afler 
    long  service.  Polish can be used  to remove tar spots and tar- 
    nish,  but 
    afleiwards a coat  of waxshould  be applied to protect 
    the clean finish.  Do not use abrasive polish or cleaners  on 
    aluminum trim  or accessories. 
    Seat belts 
    Dirt  and  other abrasive particles will damage seat  belt web- 
    bing.  If it is  necessary  to clean  seat belts, use a mild soap so- 
    lution. Bleach  and other  strong cleaning agents may weaken 
    the  belt  webbing  and should  be avoided. 
    WARNING- 
    Do  not  clean  the seat  belt webbing  using dry  cleaning or oth- 
    er  chemicals.  Allow wet belts to 
    dry before allowing them to 
    retract. 
    - 
    The  condition of  the belt webbing  and the function  of the  re- 
    tractor mechanisms should  be inspected. See 
    720 Seat Belts 
    for  seat  belt inspection  information. 
    Speciai cieaning 
    Tarspots can be removed  with a bug and tar remover.  Never 
    use  gasoline, 
    lterosene, nail polish remover, or other unsuit- 
    able solvents. Insect spots  also respond  to tar remover. 
    A bit 
    of  baking soda  dissolved in the  wash water will facilitate their 
    removal.  This method can  also be used  to remove tree sap 
    spots. 
    Washing  chassis 
    Periodic washing  of the  underside  of the  car, especially  in 
    winter, will  help prevent  accumulation of  road salt and  rust. 
    The  best  time to  wash the underside  is just  afler the  car has 
    been  driven  in wet conditions. Spray  the chassis with a  pow- 
    erful  jet  of  water. Commercial or self-service  carwashes may 
    not  be bestforthis,  as they  may recycle  the salt-contaminated 
    water. 
    Waxing 
    For a long-lasting, protective, and glossy finish, apply a  hard 
    wax  after the  car has been  washed and dried.  Use carnauba 
    or  synthetic  based products. Waxing is  not needed after 
    every washing. You  can tell when waxing  is required by 
    look-   
    						
    							
    ing at the  finish when  it is  wet.  If the  water coats the paint  in 
    smooth sheets  instead of forming  beads that roll  off, a new 
    coat  of wax is needed.  Waxshould not be applied  to black trim 
    pieces,  rubber, or other plastic parts. 
    Windshield  wiper blade maintenance 
    Common problems  with the windshield wipers include streak- 
    ing  or sheeting, water drops afler wiping, and  blade chatter. 
    Streaking  is usually  caused  when wiper  blades are coated 
    with road 
    film or  car  wash  wax. Clean  the blades using soapy 
    water. 
    If cleaning the  blades does not cure  the problem,  they 
    should be  replaced. BMW recommends  replacing the wiper 
    I blades twice a  year, before  and after the  cold season. 
    I 
    < To replace wiper  blade, depress retaining tab  (arrow) and 
    slide blade out  of arm. 
    I - Checlc tension  spring that forces  wiper against glass. Re- 
    place  wiper arm if spring tension is  weak. 
    Drops  that remain  behind after wiping  are caused by oil,  road 
    film, or diesel  exhaust  coating the  windshield.  Use an alcohol 
    or ammonia solution or  a nonabrasive  cleanser to clean the 
    windshield. 
    Wiper blade  chatier may be caused by dirty or  worn blades, 
    by  a dirty windshield,  or by bent  or twisted wiper arms. Clean 
    the  blades and windshield  as described above. 
    Adjusithe 
    wiper arm so that  there is even pressure  along the blade, and 
    so  that the blade  is perpendicularto the  windshield at rest.  Lu- 
    bricate the  wiper linkage with  a light oil.  The 
    linkage is located 
    under the  hood on the  drivers  side.  If the problem  persists, 
    the  blades  are excessively aged or worn  and should  be re- 
    placed.  See 
    61 1 Wipers and Washers  for more information.

    V-8 engine.  See Table  a. 
    Table  a. Engine  specifications   
    						
    							
    Engine identifying features 
    4 The M52 engine (MY97-98 528i) used a single on-off vari- 
    able intake valve timing system (called  VANOS). The cylinder 
    block is  cast iron and  the cylinder  head is aluminum. The  en- 
    gine management system is Siemens  MS 41 
    .I and  features 
    NGK-type  (0-5 volt) oxygen sensors. 
    NOTE- 
    VANOS is an  acronym  based on the  German  words Variable 
    Nocltenwellen Steuerung  (variable camshaft  timing). 
    4 The M52 TU engine (MY99-00 5281) and  the M54  engines 
    (MY01-02 525il530i) are fitted  with double  VANOS. The en- 
    gine 
    blocits are  constructed  of aluminum alloy with  cast iron 
    cylinder  sleeves. 
    4 The double  VANOS  (variable camshaft control) system  incor- 
    porates true variable control  of both  the 
    intake and exhaust 
    camshafts, as compared  to the  single  VANOS  system on the 
    M52  engine 
    (onloff control  of the intaite camshaft  only). 
    The  M54  engines  use a fully electronic throttle control (drive 
    by  wire).  There  is no  accelerator cable connecting the throttle 
    pedal  to the  throttle  housing in  these cars.   
    						
    							
    100-4 
    I Engine-General 
    The M62  90 V8 engine  uses four valves  per cylinder, double 
    overhead camshafts  and light alloy cylinder  head and cylin- 
    der 
    bloclc engine construction. 
    On  1997  and 1998 540i  models, Bosch engine management 
    systems  are utilized.  Table a lists engine management sys- 
    tem  applications. 
    4 For the 1999 model  year, the M62  TU VANOS  engine was in- 
    troduced  to the  540i models. This engine  is primarily a  carry- 
    over from  the earlier  M62 engine, but contains many unique 
    identifying  components  and technology: 
    Variable camshaft  timing (VANOS) for  the intake valves. 
    Bosch  ME 7.2 engine management  system with electronic 
    throttle  control.  There is no  accelerator  cable connecting 
    the throttle  pedal to the throttle  housing  in these  cars. 
    Compact water-cooled generator (alternator). 
    E39  vehicles  are equipped with sophisticated self-diagnostic 
    engine management systems.  These systems monitor and 
    store  diagnostic fault information.  If the  malfunction  indicator 
    lamp  (MIL) illuminates,  the first diagnostic test should  be to 
    connect  a dedicated scan  tool for BMW automobiles  and in- 
    terrogate the  fault memory. 
    If  the  malfunction indicator light (MIL) comes  on orflashes,  it 
    indicates  that an emissions-related fault  has occurred  and 
    that  fault information  is stored  in memory within  the ECM. 
    4 The  MIL in E39  cars  displays one  of these warning graphics 
    in the  instrument cluster. 
    The  diagnostic capabilities  of these systems have  the poten- 
    tial  to save  hours  of diagnostic  time and prevent incorrect 
    5 placement.  See OBD  On-Board Diagnostics.
