[QUOTE="Psykit, post: 663780, member: 25223"] Yes i agree, if possible look for 525i with a M54B25 2500cc engine. More power and better fuel consumption. This is one heavy car to move around. I bought my 520i a year ago as I did not come across a good condition 525i. 525i was my initial model that I wanted. My 520i 2200cc engine fuel consumption is around 440km for RM 100 RON95 RM1.90/litre. Once on the highway cruising it can hit 650km easily with the same amount of fuel. Be prepared (financially and emotionally) to expect some repairs on: 1. ABS/ASC module. 2. CCV or Oil separator and the 4 hoses. 3. VANOS seals (still drivable if you are not fussy). 4. Valve seals (if consuming engine oil). 5. Absorbers. 6. Undercarriage plastic covers/shield including mudguards. 7. Cooling system (Radiator, expansion tank, hoses, water pump). 8. MID and Meter cluster pixel repair. 9. Engine and transmission mountings. 10. Front & rear axle support system (arms, bush, ball joints, bearings). 11. Spark plugs and ignition coills. 12. Headlights height adjuster fix. 13. Fuel pump & filter. 14. Transmission rebuilt. Not trying to scare you but these are some things that I went through and going through. This list is some of the problems of E39 but not limited to these only. It's a routine to all used cars that you will buy now or in the future not only limited to BMW. [/QUOTE]
