[QUOTE="masrila5, post: 744679, member: 31762"] Hello, I also been using 2008 E60 530i for almost a year. The car was CKD unit with N52 engine. To differentiate N52 and N53 you have to decode the VIN for accurate info. For LCI version both N52 and N53 have 272hp. If no maintenance history available, it is advisable to change all the water hoses and water pump as it is known to fail when reaching 100k km. As for me, I only change the leaky one but carry the spare pump onboard. Belum ada masa pergi workshop. Pls also check front absorber mounting as I experienced the whole suspension assembly fall down during normal servicing. Somehow the absorber mounting do not have failsafe to arrest the fall when the rubber failed. Other than that, only normal servicing was carried out. No other major problem encountered. Oh yeah, check also the brake pad and disc as previous owner might drive the car fast and brake hard. Otherwise why he needs a 3 litre saloon? tq [/QUOTE]
