[QUOTE="Kubica, post: 344749, member: 13978"] I've made the same transformation 4 years back. I used a Perdana for 6 years, (no gearbox problem as people reported), went as fast as 180km/h quite easily (200km/h never try. I don't it can, may be can but with strong vibration..). maintenace wise, my rule of of thumb is 2X (at least) the cost of maintaining a perdana. but generally, for an average working people like me, I would say E39 maintenance is pretty reasonable. fuel consumption 9.7l/100km. Actual not OBD. similar like Perdana. not so much for rich people nowadays.. being an orang kampung, I thought V6 is the best car but once purchased I never turned back. tried E34 but not so convincing as E39. I mean E39 is so damned comfortable and poweful.. my ride: 523i 99' UK spec and riding 120-150kms happily everyday. enough for my taste. max speed tried is 230km/h with original set-up. normally 140-160km/h. relax aje.. have fun!
