memoiy Check for fault codes prior to disconnecting the
battery cables.
If the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light, also may be
called "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light)
is illuminated, see
OBD On-Board Diagnostics for
DME fault code information.
It orhersysrem faults have been detected, as indicated I
by an ~llum~nated ABS, SRS orASC/DSC ~arning light,
see the appropriate repair group in this manual or an
authorized BMW dealer for more information on fault
codes.
NOTE- Engine removal procedures are similar for all 6-cylinder
models. When differences
exist, they are noted at the be-
ginning of each step. Engine are referred to by engine
code. See
100 Engine-General for engine code and appli-
cation information.
@ Be sure to cover all painted surfaces before beginning the
removal procedure. As an aid to installation, label all com-
ponents, wires and hoses before removing them. Do not
reuse
gaskets, O-rings or seals during reassembly.
The
intake manifold must be removed on &cylinder mod-
els before the engine can be removed.
WARNING-
Due to risk of personal injury, be sure the engine is cold be-
fore beginning the removal procedure.

[~us~ension, Steering and Brakes - General
This section of the manual covers front and rear suspension,
braking and steering systems, and contains wheel, tire and
wheel alignment information and specifications. Also covered
here are the integrated braking and suspension systems in-
cluding
antilock braking (ABS), traction control (ASCIDSC),
and electronic height control (EHC).
Vehicle ride height information is at the end of this repair
group. Alignment information is in
320 Steering and Wheel
Alignment.
Aluminum suspension components
In order to reduce vehicle weight, aluminum suspension com-
ponents are used in some models. A test with a magnet will
easily reveal the metal used. If working with aluminum com-
ponents, be sure to read and follow the cautions below.
CAUTION-
* Due to the chemical and corrosion characteristics of alumi-
num, do not bring into contact with battery acid.
Do not use wire brushes with brass or iron bristles.
Only use brushes with stainless steel bristles.
Do not expose to flying sparks from
grinding/cutting op-
erations.
Do not subject to steel welding splashes.
Do not expose to temperatures over
80°C (176"F),
even for short periods. Temperatures in painting facili-
ties are not a problem.
The E39 front suspension subframe is used as a rigid mount-
ing platform for the front suspension arms, stabilizer bar and
steering gear.
The suspension arms, known as the lower control arms and
the tension struts (thrust arms), are connected to the
sub-
frame through rubber bushings. The arms are connected to
the steering
knucltles in a double pivot configuration.
Each front strut assembly includes a tubular strut and a coil
spring. The upper strut mount includes a bearing. The lower
end of each strut housing is fitted to the steering knuckle. The
integral wheel bearing and hub are bolted to the steering
Iknucltle.
6-cylinder and V-8 models use different steering systems and
other front suspension components.

WHEELS AND TIRES
Tire size is critical to the properoperation of the antilock brake
system and traction control system. Several differentstyles of
wheels in
15,16, and 17 inch diameters are available from an
authorized BMW dealer.
Rim and tire size applications are listed in the table below.

All
E39 vehicles are equipped with the Antilock Braking Sys-
tem
(ABS). Early production models featured ABS with Auto-
matic Stability
control (ABSIASC). Later models came
equipped with ABS and Dynamic Stability Control
(ABSIDSC). DSC builds upon the existing ABSIASC system
to provide electronic control of drive and braking systems to
insure vehicle stability.
This manual will refer to these systems as ABS. ASC or DSC
will be specified when necessary. ABS component replace-
ment is covered in
340 Brakes.

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.
