Different feeling rite?The flywheel oil seal leak is pretty common in BMWs, not only the 535i. Almost all that i knew who owns the roundel will face this issue sooner or later, so its not a biggie. Over time, the seals hardens (all over the engine bay mind u......), and leak wld ensue. Labor intensive job, albeit the relatively 'cheap' replacement part. Guess, the seller just want to see how genuine a buyer u are, and then only he'd share these important info with u bro. Since we're on that note, managed to get copies of the car's maintenance records? easier for u to see what needs to be done next. Yes i do agree. Overhaul means the engine is on newer parts, most wear n tear items replaced. peace of mind for another 100k of sheer driving pleasure. non-Msport sussy might set u back approx RM4-5k excluding labor, or lesser. I didnt use ezcare. Instead, i subscribed to WarrantySmart for 2 years, paid approx RM3.8k for the tenure. Claims need to be done at their authorised workshops. Honestly, i had a pleasant experience with them. Managed to claim my ECU on my 2nd year in. Was told that electrical current back-flowed into the ECU, frying it. With any warranty service, they will take time to investigate each case. Mine was settled in 6weeks, from claiming to approval to a few fittings/testings until finally resolved. Here's what i have learnt with these warranty companies, they will attempt to repair it first. If failed, they then replace it with a used part. If it still fails, reconditioned part will be used. And if it is still stubbornly fail, only then will they replace it with a brand new part. Need to be patient. in the end, i got a brand new RM8k worth of ECU. if u ask me, it was well worth it!All the best bro!</blockquote>
