Message: <blockquote data-quote="ciahcra" data-source="post: 748467" data-attributes="member: 24733">My father may have damaged his car's engine. So now I have to help him find a replacement engine, if my mechanic confirms that it need to be replaced. My father sent the car to his mechanic, and the mechanic said need to change the engine, so I asked him to send to my mechanic for 2nd opinion. Hopefully it won't have to come down to that (change the engine).Anyway, in the worst case scenario, I would like to get some advice here, and would like to know the following:1. Do I change to different type of engine, or try to find the same one? My father's car is E60 525i LCI 2008. I believe it's a N53 engine, and judging from the road tax that he paid, I believe it's a 3.0L engine.2. Are they easy to find? I don't really have much time to go for engine hunting, so any recommended kedai potong from sifus here is very much appreciated. 3. If really need to replace the engine, which one should I choose? I read that N53 engine isn't really suitable for petrol here, and M54 engine does have better fuel consumption. I'm just looking for something that is balanced (good FC, spare parts easy to find, good HP and torque, not too expensive to replace). No need to be damn powerful or very fast, my father isn't a speed demon! haha4. If you would like to recommend any other workshops for 3rd or 4th opinion also I'd really appreciate that. But it's a hassle la to tow the car from one workshop to another. The car can't move at the moment. lolThank you very much for replying to this thread!  :67:</blockquote>
