e39 users have their own preference for lubricant oil. I am using TOTAL fully synth. Castrol 10w 40 is ok for yout car. Make sure it is genuine 100% Castrol as there are lots and lots of fake Castrol lubricant oil from spare parts shops and workshops.

hi everyone , a friend of mine is in the midst of getting a baby, 523 E39 2000 double vanos , mileage 84k for RM62k. The seller changed the headlight, rear light, absorber, front bumper to M-sport bumper and rear bumper to M-sport bumper for him. Is that a good deal? Another friend of mine is considering a 325 E46 SMG 2002 mileage 90k for RM83k. Is that a good choice? As for myself, I m considering a baby 520 2.2 E39 Double Vanos 2003 mileage 85k for RM85k. Any comment? TQ in advance for your valuable advice.

I got e39 523. I travelled from Puchong to Sungai Pertani about 380km.I used RM50 ++ Ron 95 and the lowest litre/km is 8.1l/km.I think is better for you consider the 2500cc rather than 2200cc or 2000cc. e39 body abit heavy if not 2500cc i think abit under power. So you got the choice now ?

Sg Tetani 380 km used RM50++ very good consumption. What speed you were doing?

 

[tweiboon]

Mostly driving 110km/j with cruise and without cruise , also got 90km/j to 120km/j with out cruise.

I dont seem to be able to maintain 120kmh in my car. Before i know it I was going 160 and above, even when I know its Ops Sikap period.

Just wait for the saman letter(s) to come pouring in I guess. Hope my speed camera detector works as it should.

 

[tweiboon]

Wah...........where you buy the speed detector and how much for the speed detector ? Then you drove 160km/j what is your fuel consumption rate ?

Speed camera detector brand Micro Fuzion..bought while i was still in UK. Cant remember the price but it was quite cheap.

Dunno exact rate of fuel consumption, i just enjoy the car. but it was less than half tank from Sungai Petani to Bukit Beruntung. From Bukit Beruntung to Genting another quarter tank because I was on manual mode with paddle shift, so went a bit mad with the fuel consumption. Went all the way to kuantan at 180/200 km. Oh man do i love Lebuhraya Pantai Timur.

Tomorrow drive from Kuantan to Pasir Putih and Kota Bharu.

According to what you described e39 seems like very petrol save.heheheheheh. We make the right choice for e39. Really out of expectation when i know e39 2500cc is very petrol save.

Where can i buy the e39 headlight adjuster ?

 

[aangavatar]

plastic one sold in many BMW spare part shop, but where can we get the aluminium one? note the different adjuster for pre and post facelift light.

 

[bmw7833]

Alu one can get from ebay.

 

[tweiboon]

note that you need to buy two sets, there are two adjusters on each side

aluminium one can get on ebay, but lately there are also 'unbreakable' plastic ones that are much cheaper on ebay, better than the original and does the job as well as the alu ones (not breaking up)

 

[tweiboon]

i know i need to buy 2 pairs but how much dose it cost ? If too expensive then i use steel plate to make myself .........heheheh

 

[haywire]

on ebay plastic ones are about £10 each, so 2 sets plus £5 would be £25 (RM125) roughly.

Aluminium ones are about £60 for 2 sets (RM300)
