BMW E39 523i Abandoned First Wash in 10 Years! | 1998 Classic with Only 137K KM (~85K Miles)

We Saved a Forgotten BMW E39!
In this first episode of our new rescue series, we give a long-abandoned 1998 BMW 523i (E39) its first wash in over 10 years! That’s right — this classic 90s German sedan sat untouched, collecting dust and grime… until now.

This Episode: The First Wash Watch as we:

Remove a decade of dirt, debris, and cobwebs

Get our first real look at the car's potential
