I Engine Removal and Installation 
WARNING - 
Use extreme caution when draining and disposing  of engine 
coolant.  Coolant is poisonous  andlethal to  humans andpets. 
Pets  are attracted  to coolant because  of its  sweet smell  and 
taste.  Seek medical attention immediately  if coolant  is ingest- 
--- 
Working  at  rear of intake manifold: 
Disconnect  brake  booster  vacuum line (A). 
Disconnect  fuel  tank vent line 
(6). 
Disconnect  hoses  (C and D) at coolant  manifold 
- Remove  transmission  harness support (E). 
- Remove  oil filter  housing  assembly from  fender: 
- Remove oil filter  housing  mounting fasteners. 
Use  stiff wire  to secure  oil filter housing  to engine. 
NOTE- 
Do  not disconnect oil lines  from filter housing. 
4 Disconnect supply  and return  fuel lines  (where  applicable)  at 
or  near  fuel  rail. Plug  open  fuel lines. 
NOTE- 
BMW uses three styles  of fuel line connections; a slngle use 
clamp, a locking  fitting that uses  special tool 
16 7 050 to re- 
lease,  and a 
quiclc release sleeve  (arrows) that disconnects 
the  line when depressed. 
WARNING- 
Fuel In fuel line  is under pressure  (approx. 3 - 5 bar  or45 - 
75 psi)  and  may  be expelled.  Do not smoke or  worlc near 
heaters  or other  fire  hazards.  Keep  a fire  extinguisher 
handy.  Before  disconnecting  fuel hoses,  wrap  a cloth 
around fuel hoses  to absorb  any lealcing  fuel. Catch  and 
dispose  of escaped  fuel. Plug  all open fuel lines. 
. Always  unscrew  the fuel  tank  cap to release pressure 
in the tank  before worlcing  on the  tank or lines. 
< Remove  air filter  housing  and mass  air flow  sensor: 
Disconnect  mass  air flow sensor  (A) and 
intalte air temper- 
ature  sensor 
(6) electrical  harness  connectors. 
. Remove air filter  housing  mounting fastener  (arrow). 
Loosen  intake  hose  clamp (C). 
M62 engine:  Remove  hose at idle  air stabilizer. 
Remove  air filter  housing  with mass  air  flow  sensor. 
Remove intalte  hose from throttle  body.

/Suspension, Steering and Brakes - General 
The steering  system features variable power assist provided 
by  an  engine-driven hydraulic pump. 
Rack  and pinion  steering 
6-cylinder  models 
(525i, 5281, 5300 
Two types  of steering systems  are used in E39 models. 6- 
cylinder (525i, 5281, 530i) models  are equipped with  a steer- 
ing  rack system.  V-8 
(540i) models are equipped with  a re- 
circulating ball  and nut steering  gearbox. 
Rack-and-pinion steering 
Steering components  in 6-cylinder  models consist of a rack- 
and-pinion type  steering gear and connecting linltage to  the 
road wheels. 
The  steering  linkage connects  the rack-and-pinion unit 
through  tie rods to  the steering knucltles.  The tie rod ends al- 
low  the wheels  to pivot  and react to suspension travel. 
Recirculating  ball and nut steering 
V-8  models 
(540i) 
I 
Recirculating  ball and nut steering 
Recirculating ball  and nut steering  in V-8  models consists  of a 
steering box  with integrated hydraulic control valve and  con- 
necting linkage  to the road  wheels. 
Thesteering  linkageconnects the  steering gearbox through  a 
pitman arm to the wheels.  An idler arm  maintains correct  toe 
angle.  The tie rod allow the wheels to  pivot and react  to sus- 
pension  travel. 
E39 cars are  equipped with power disc brakes with  integral 
antilock brakes (ABS). The parking  bralte is a dual-drum  sys- 
tem integrated  with the rear brake rotors. 
Power  assist is provided by  a vacuum booster when  the en- 
gine  is running.  The brake pedal 
pushrod is connected direct- 
ly  to the  master  cylinder, so failure  of the  vacuum booster 
does  not normally result  in total 
bralte failure. 
Each  disc bralte  uses a caliper with  a single hydraulic cylin- 
der.  Brake pads in  the left front and right rear  contain wear 
sensors.  When brake  pads need  replacement,  the sensors  il- 
luminate a  light on the dashboard.

The electronically controlled 
ABS maintains vehicle stability 
and  control during emergency braking  by preventing wheel 
lock-up. 
ABS provides optimum deceleration  and stability dur- 
ing  adverse conditions. It automatically adjusts brake system 
hydraulic pressure  at each wheel to prevent wheel lock-up.

Dynamic  Stability Control (Boscli 
DSC Ill v. 5.7) 
NOJE- 
ASC  (Automatic  Stability Control) may also be referred  to as 
ASCiT (Automatic  Stability ControkTraction). 
ASC works in conjunction  with ABS and the engine manage- 
ment  system  to enhance vehicle control.  The main  function  of 
the 
ASC system is  to maintain  the contact between  the tires 
and the road surface under all driving conditions.  This is 
achieved  through exact application and management  of brak- 
ing and  drivetrain  forces. 
The 
ASC system improves  traction by electronically  applying 
the rear brakes  when the rear drive wheels  are spinning  at a 
faster rate than  the front  wheels.  The combined 
ABSIASC 
control module, operating through the ABS hydraulic  control 
unit, modulates braking  force at the rear  wheels. 
In  addition, 
ASC overrides the  throttle opening  to reduce en- 
gine torque and maintain  vehicle traction. Because the throt- 
tle  is controlled  electronically,  the driver cannot increase 
engine  power output during 
ASC intervention regardless  of 
how  far the accelerator pedal is pushed.

Suspension, Steering and Brakes - ~enerail 
The main components  of the  system  are the wheel speed 
(pulse) sensors, the 
ABSIASC or ABSIDSC control  module, 
and the hydraulic control unit. 
Traction control also comes into operation during  decelera- 
tion. Decelerating on  snowy or icy road surfaces  can lead to 
rear  wheel slip.  If a  rear  wheel starts  to drag  or lock  up, the 
ASC  system can limit the problem  by adjusting  throttle, fuel 
injection and ignition  timing. 
4 A switch  (arrow)  on the  center console is  used to toggle  the 
ASC  on or off. 
NOJE- 
Even  with the ASC system turned off,  if the ASC control mod- 
ule senses  a difference  in wheel  speed  (one wheel  spinning) 
the 
ASC system applies modulated braling force  to  the slip- 
ping  wheel  until traction  is regained.  There is no  override  of 
fuelinjection function. 
The  ASC  system is designed to be maintenance  free. There 
are no adjustments that can be  made. Repair and  trouble- 
shooting of  the ASC system  requires special test equipment 
and knowledge and should  be performed  only by an autho- 
rized 
BMW dealer.

Control arms and tension struts  are attached  to the front sub- 
Front suspension  arms V-8 models (5401) 
frame through rubber bushings  and to the steering ltnuckles 
by  ball  joints. 
NOTE- 
Tension  struts are sometimes  called thrust arms  or thrust 
rods. 
Control  arms or tension struts  are sometimes  called lower 
front arms or lower rear  arms. 
Inspect ball joints for  wear and looseness.  lnspect bushings 
for wear or  fluid 
lealts. The ball joint can only  be replaced  as 
part  of an entire suspension arm assembly.  Some suspen- 
sion arm 
bushinas are  available  as re~lacement Darts. Al- 
ways  replace in pairs 
NOTE- 
Steering wheel vibration during braking  (usually at road 
speeds  of 
50 to 60 m.p.h.) are often  causedby  faulty suspen- 
sion  arm bushings,  not out-of-true brake rotors. 
Some  special tools  may be required to remove suspension 
arms  and to replace  bushings. Read procedures through be- 
fore beginning the  job.
