Re: Buying 2nd hand BMW 520i (mine) is a straight four N43B20. yours should be a straight six N53. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BMW_engines I believe you can check it on your BMW customers' service record booklet. let me check mine again and post later :)

Re: Buying 2nd hand BMW i have used a small foot pump (manual pump, those used to inflate football or bicycle tyres) to inflate my tyre before. it takes a while of pumping but it works, enough to get to the tyre shop. a tyre repair kit is good but you might still have to remove the tyre? i...
