[QUOTE="rpmnut, post: 456388, member: 20757"] Into my 2nd month with my 2003 525i, and they weren't kidding when they said even the best E39's will need some TLC and $$$ to get them back into shape. Just to share, I racked up the following in the last 8 weeks: (1) Fuel float sensor (left & right units) & hose clip = RM952.00 (2) Full oil service, software update + gearbox flush & refill = RM2,260 (3) Replace front left sill plate (original had cracked and literally disintegrated) = RM 195.00 (4) Replace engine mounting (2) = RM RM390.00 (5) Replace gearbox mounting (2) = RM136.00 Items to be done at the next service: (1) Replace valve lifters (all 24 of them *gulp*) (2) Replace driveshaft main bearing (3) Service gearbox valve body (4) Check VANOS unit and replace seals if required. An expensive hobby, having an E39, but still...every time I start her up and take a drive, I know it's all worth it ;) [/QUOTE]
