All of them had their mileage adjusted...how can a 1999/2000 car only done 143k km on speedo..mengarut kan? When I asked one of my mechanic to come with me to diagnose/scan with scanner, he said we could barely seen any error on the scanner simply because the used car will reset all the error codes giving impression the the car is in good health, I have to drive it at least a week or two, then the error codes will pop up again! "Scan pun tak guna..."he said....Then, some friends in our forum urged me to find a 525 M54 rather than a M52 engine, more power they said...is it true?What if I buy an E39 with M52 single vanos, later when the engine kong, change it to M54 double vanos, is it possible?I don't have much money to spend, so the best choice so far is a private seller 528 1997 cbu standard gaban with 350k km on the speedo, and she will be mine for 21k...cheap right? But with such a high mileage, some says she is at the end of her life, hence the question..any thot?</blockquote>
