[QUOTE="colebruno, post: 108528, member: 1881"] Hi all sifus, I am looking at the Star papers as well and there are several e39 for sale. Pls help me clarify some questions here:- 1. 520I year 2002 and year 1999. Is there a difference in the engine? 2. I heard that BMW change the engine to 2.2L with 170HP around 1999. How can I check if it's the new engine? 3. If it's double vanos, can I straight away assumed that it's the new engine? How do I verify double or single vanos? 4. Is the 520I 2.2 4 pots compared to the 523I which is a 6pots? 5. I understand that the 523I is only 177HP. Is there any performance difference between 520I compare to 523I if there is only 7HP diff? 6. How does performance of 525 compare to 523? 7. From my study of the pricing, it's about RM20k difference per year in the depreciation value of the car. I need some advise on whether to buy a newer year 2002 model compare to a yr 1999 model because the difference is rather high - approx RM50-60k. Can use some spare cash to change parts and new coat of paint! Thanks in advance! B) [/QUOTE]
