Am looking at the evergreen E39 for a while and since the year end is almost here ...  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Here are a couple of versions in mind ...E39 523i - Single VANOS / 96-98 / CKD or CBUE39 523i - Double VANOS / 98-2000 / CKD or CBUE39 528i - Single VANOS / 96-99 / CKD or CBUOkay ... I've got a budget of approx. RM 150K max and am looking at either of the above. Of course, considering my current ride, the 528i makes a perfect replacement. Have been looking at a few cars ... nothing firm yet.Need your help / input / feedback on what to look out for, possible problems to be addressed and yes .... the running cost. My ride will be a daily driver ... currently clocking in about 2800-3300 km a month. Using my current 328i as a yardstick, what sort of running cost am I looking at - usual wear & tear plus misc. parts to consider. And unlike my fellow brother who's looking at a E38, company does not pay for my maintenance and etc ...  :cry: WJ, thanks for your PM buddy - will ring you up one of these days to chat further. Appreciate your help here, fellas.Cheers,</p></blockquote><p></p>
