hi guys ....you keep on mentioning abt Vanos seal....must be special for both e38/39...
tell me and other 5/7er if can improve performance/hp. Agreed if more facts on this under new thread.

 

[Herbert]

if the E39 is the single vanos, uncle aziz can borrow mine first since i have another one more spare.

well, like what i've said in the other thread, the vanos seal is the best mod ever...hehe

i think Herbert can open up the new thread for the new group purchase for the seal now. seems like more club guest has signed up together with the official member

From the 4th group buy, I have ordered few extra sets of single & double vaons seals. I have priced it same i.e. RM90.00 for single and RM170.00 for double. Sold one set double to Kadir recently.

My friend is selling 1 set of the ESS supercharger for something like RM17k. Claimed 100 hp + 120NM of torque if my memory serves me right. I dont have that much of spare cash to plunk this on my 52TU but for those who have the extra moolah, this would be the ultimate.

 

[uncle aziz]

The superchargor set was ordered direct from US ( RM 40k?) by my udm mechanic and fixed to the X5 . Owner travels extensively to KL. Tyres spinning all the way .......cukup syokkkkkk.
> Badrol880...not sure whether standard e38 engine suitable to ESS superchargor.....Your friend unit is new or 2nd hand set?

.......detected another weakness : Digital display has some missing pixels. Hard to read msg with missing lines .Anyone replace the unit and what is the cost of new set.

Uncle Aziz, call Ah Meng 0164402112. He will sort out for you like brand new for RM450 - 500. All other options futile, as the ribbon after number of years in the heat will give way, therefore a 2nd hand purchase is a waste of time. Been there, done that.

[uncle aziz]

Side mirror fixed today. Color code slightly different fr body ...need to respray once refurbish job completed

 

[RAJ1]

Congrats on the purchase. Always wanted to get one but my mech always warned me mahal mau maintain. Still luv my E39...damn good car.

 

[uncle aziz]

if I`m lucky will be paid RM2 per kilo of these old parts......buying time ribu2 moolah

nobody want....

Rear absorbers original shaft is slightly longer than normal .....hv to return to supplier...hv to wait for another
3 days for the supply from Segambut

 

[uncle aziz]

Very True : Cost of maintaining BMW is not cheap. My experience with existing e30.e36,e39 ...spare parts usually last for> 5 years...thereafter maintain the normal service..change oil/filters and sometime camshaft sensor cable/wheel sensor ....but then the pleasure driving udm supersede all the pain. Engine still dry and though /reliable and need no overhaul yet although clocked 230k km .328k and 258k for each model.
Top speed still satisfactory e30 3231 1984 max speed 160kmj senang2, e36 180kmj still can do, e39 1998 ( Single Vanos) 190 kmj is normal cruise at hiway. e38 is for pleasure only , hopefully lasted for next 5/6 yrs....by the time my sons hv to decide what to do with the car and other udms

 

[uncle aziz]

one more thing...cost of workmanship imposed by workshops in Butterworth relatively lower than KL, around 70/80% ...due to cheaper rental.labour costs and cost of living. KL tak boleh tahan....kena slaughter all the time.
