[QUOTE="5150, post: 643585, member: 4173"] Dear indierotz, Me not a e39 tifu but 2 months ago i just bought an M52 E39 523 1996 model. 1. I'm 2 months new to e39 so i guess i can't give absolute answer. 2. Must bring to your trusted knowledgeable mech and check the car ESPECIALLY the chassis, if the accident is serious most probably the signs will show, and also check if the engine has been overheated before bcoz overheated engine is the best candidate for a lemon. 3. Maybe less maybe more than 10k. When you check the car beofre buying, you n your mech shud be able to identify the things that must be replaced first. Then ask your mech to give estimate prices of all the parts that must be replace immediately after buying, so you would not be in shock after buying it. 10k is good. Excluding my new absorbers and new anti roll bar complete kit which hasn't arrive yet, myself had spent RM8k plus already. Most of the things i replaced still can be used but i don't know how long they will kaput so i like to keep track of when i changed certain parts so i'll know when to change them again in the future. Roughly items are: All pulleys includiing tensioners All beltings Water pump ATF oil Axle oil All radiator hoses Fuel float (got petrol smell whenever car is parked) And roughly the parts i changed to try to get the factory E39 driving pleasure are: All front door rubbers All front body rubbers Sunroof rubber seal Jack stand rubber under car. Used air cond duct in the engine bay New accelerator cable Boot actuator 1 door actuator 4 new PZero Rosso tires ( body goyang during paying for these tires) Under floor cover and few more things that not too worth mentioning... If includes the new absorber, ARB and m-sport springs, my bills will come to RM14k plus. But what a ride.... Tq. [/QUOTE]
