[QUOTE="ALIAS, post: 453248, member: 9054"] Just to tokok tambah a bit, when you take it to the workshop and have the diagnostic machine plugged in, can check for the real mileage. See whether it matches what's shown on your OBC display. Can also do the same using the key. The Japan spec M52 or M52TU 2.5-litre E39 is labeled as 525. They were sold like that in Japan. It's actually what is called 523 elsewhere. 170hp. 22hp lower than a 2.5-litre m54 engine. Can spend money to upgrade the hp. I went thru a number of 523 when shopping for one previously but decided to just pay the extra for a M54. [/QUOTE]
