My E39 528i Cruiser

[insomniac]

Nope. It was to change the following:

a. Gear lever selector switch (about RM1.1k)
b. Radiator + mounting bushes [old one was leaking, 2nd time already] (almost RM1k)
c. Pulley (1 piece) (RM250+)
d. Rear brake pads (RM300)
e. Engine Oil - Shell Helix, Oil Filter
f. Oil Filter
g. Thermostat & Thermostat housing
h. Some other small parts and labour costs

All in all it added up to RM4.1k and it's mostly for replacement of wear and tear parts.

Noticed one thing about M1, they usually recommend to replace the part at fault and use original replacements. Which is a good thing but costly for the pocket.
The main thing i like about them is their fast turnaround time as i can't afford to be without my car. Have not gotten a spare car just yet.

eBay...???

 

[insomniac]

Trying to see if there is a part supplier locally before going the eBay route.

same with my E39 colour maroonish..replace you sport rim to AC schnizer..i think will be very nice..

 

[insomniac]

The car is no longer maroonish... it's now a bronze type colour. Maroon was the colour it was when i first bought it.
Considered AC's Type II also before but opted to go with the OEM Style 32 instead.

Hey, were you the guy driving a Perdana previously?

Nope. My previous car was a Putra.

 

[insomniac]

Got bored after not doing anything to the car in a long time.

Found some ori AC rear view mirrors on Mudah and an ori AC muffler for the E39. Only keeping the side mirrors now and recently sold off the muffler to one of our bros from BMWCM.
Prefer the AC's more than the M5 side mirrors. Only disadvantage is that the mirrors can't be folded.

Sold the style 32's after a year of using them as I wanted something with a meaner stance. Managed to find these rims that came off another E39 and i was sold.
Think its a BBS RXII 2-piece but never took the time to confirm. Rims are a staggered setup with fronts 8.5j offset 22 and rears 10.5j offset 25.
