[QUOTE="wglee, post: 121710, member: 610"] Can it be concluded therefore that the imported petrol used by consumers in Malaysia have high sulphur content? If so, what would be the fate of the M52-engined BMWs in Malaysia (eg. e39 523i/528i)? Can it be safely assumed that Malaysian spec M52-engined BMWs have Alusil liners (Alusil liners were introduced by BMW to overcome the Nikasil fiasco) and not Nikasil liners? Or could it be that some Malaysian spec M52-engined BMWs have Nikasil liners (eg. the early batches) whilst some Malaysian spec M52-engined BMWs have Alusil liners (the later batches)? Were these early cars recalled to have Alusil liners retrofitted? Info from the internet says that early UK-spec M52-engined BMWs have Nikasil liners and I would not be surprised if some of these cars reached our shores... [/QUOTE]
