[QUOTE="devil9, post: 468031, member: 20998"] How do we know whether it's M52TU or M52 when checking VIN #? I've checked both realoem & bmwfans...both display same info on month & year of manufacturing. Both also indicates M52. Per my understanding, M52 is single vanos while TU comes with double vanos. Can it also be indicated by the engine oil dip stick? my observation is if single vanos, dip stick is further away from radiator. double vanos, dip stick is nearer to radiator. bmwfans 5' E39, Sedan 523i (M52) Region: Europe Version: Right-hand drive Transmission: Automatic Date: '99, May realoem You Have Selected: 05/1999 E39 523i Sedan M52 Europe Right hand drive Automatic Production Code: DM42 [/QUOTE]
