Re: 520i E60 any problem?

Can get all infor on models from E12, E28, E39, E60, now F10 from Wikipedia.
6 pots the best. BMW won many engine of the year award with their 6, best known for their six! Though their 1.6l jointly owned by BMW and Peugeot had won the award for their class few years already.

I like their E39 best. Fantastic chassis, their M5 on E39 chassis is a "cult" car.

But it seems they are switching to the 4 cyclinder turbo

6 pot is better, i love big displacement instead of turbo charging 4 pot

Big displacement plus turbo is da bomb .......

Re: 520i E60 any problem?

I prefer supercharge on big displacement.
Especially old school root type with high noise.

I don't have 1 personally but there is 1 at home in the family since 2010, last batch of the E60.

No big issues and the 2L 4pot on this 520 feels actually lighter than the 2.2L 6pot of the E39 520.

Why do I know? cos the family member had the E39 b4 this E60

Last batch of 2009 e60 525 rock the way .... Suction door & comfort access made it almost as good as f10 Liao ... Bear in mind , only f10 528 or 535 have this suction door option .. No horse run Liao

Got my 2009 E60 525 from PPSL. No suction door, no sports steering. Only Comfort access and Heated seat function. For different country?

Re: 520i E60 any problem?

Should be PI ..... Which also means it might come with an alarm system that can be enabled.

Re: 520i E60 any problem?

Ppsl sell pi?? I am confused.

Re: 520i E60 any problem?

Local units don't come with heated seats ......... will get piles in this weather.

Re: 520i E60 any problem?

Maybe previous owner bought from PI then paid the "orphan" fees for PML to take it in.

Oh shit! PPSL told me this is non PI unit. Was wondering why diff in spec for quite awhile.

I haven't seen the car but just looking at configuration, it is sensible to say it looks like PI specs.

But also, I'm not ruling out the possibility that it is an original PML unit. Have seen some rare batches with exotic options. And if PML said so, ok to trust them.

Re: 520i E60 any problem?

Hi, got reply from PML that they will not resale PI unit in their premises. Even those who paid 'orphan' is still considered PI unit.

Thanks
