Update 160,000 miles took a couple 2K trips this year.... Vanos was not the issue as I noted below, actually the AC compressor clutch went out! Replaced AC Compressor, water pump, pulleys, belts, Also changed out the Auxiliary water pump, top and bottom radiator hoses.Valve cover gasket new spark plugs again while in there, Changed out shocks and struts,to Bilsteins new springs lowered about half inch!New rubber for 19s this May , had the Beyern staggered rims repainted. Car looks great drives great No ONE believes the mileage and year when they see the car or ride in it. My good friend Is getting ready to repaint nose, they just take a beating!
Car is good for another 160K....I would drive this car to Alaska with confidence!
Gonna buy something new in the spring of 14. 4 series? 535 M sport? 550 M sport.... Pretty muck talked my self out of M5 you see I drive a lot
2004 530i 132,000 miles looks great runs great....134k now
Parts changed: Oil housing gasket,4 Rotors spring of 2012,Ceramic pads. DISA Valve, Power steering resevoir, @ 100K Changed Plugs,Tranny fluid and pan- filter of course, Actually fluid looked very good. Was a small leak internally that I fixed while in there,
The VANOS rattle is getting me now, will fix here shortly, getting a new battery this week. It is still original; probably change water pump and alternator Spring 13. Oil changed every 4500 no exceptions. I have 4 children... One of them will get this car, she has been well kept and up-kept. Inside is perfect.
Angel eyes, tinted windows and 19s on it.
BMWs are like a gorgeous woman, They require a lot of attention and up keep. But worth every penny, fun to drive! Wife rolling eyes.....
