[QUOTE="Henry21, post: 746602, member: 50012"] Dear Sifus, This is my first time posting on this forum... So... My parents are looking for an used E60 5er as their retirement car, and it's most likely going to end up being mine in the future. We came across a 2007 BMW 523i M-Sport Package with 127k km on the clock for RM78,888. The car interior and exterior are in excellent condition (the interior is dakotacreambeige as well and it looks AMAZING). However, when we start the car up and let her idle, metallic ticking noise can be heard from the engine (the engine is a N53B25UL btw). After about 20 minutes, I tried revving the engine, and when I let off the accelerator, the RPM drops below 600 and back to 800~. I don't know too much about the mechanical stuff going under the hood, so I hope the sifus around here can let me know what is the problem and how can I fix it. Other than that the car is pretty much perfect. We haven't test-drove the car yet, and planning on doing it soon. Is there anything in particular that we need to keep an eye on when we're test-driving it? [/QUOTE]
