530i E39 engine cooked - what options do I have?

I saw your car last week at Johan's place when I went and picked up a VW engine he did for us. Nice ride. Today when he came to start the fox for us, he told that he delivered the car back to you and it was running nicely again. Glad that your problem is something of the past now.:thumbsup:

So did they remove the squirrels in cyl no 5 or what was the problem?
