Don’t forget replacing the fan clutch when replacing water pump, the cooling hoses, all the idler pulleys, your power steering reservoir will leak eventually and secondary air injection check valve so you don’t have to replace the secondary air injection pump. Bought my ‘03 530 at 49k, now at 126k. Best sedan ever…

I have a 2003 530 with manual and it works fine in Cleveland winters WITH snow tires. It does get tricky if there is ice and you’re at a stoplight on an incline. You may be able to get studded tires where you live which would cure this.
