Can a birdy warn a poor chap next time, that works too hard to spend any time on the forum

It wasn't xenons but it is a set of projectors with angel eyes.

Can vanos2 be fitted to M52 engines or E39 engines in general?

 

[RAArmstrong]

Well if you have a facelift 525/530i then its M54 powered which is Dual Vanos

And if its just plain vanos, could you upgrade for lack of a better word?

 

[RAArmstrong]

I have no idea

Im sure its possible, although I would think it would be a bitch to do. lol

Do some international research before you do anything that big.

When are you buying an E39?

Im just asking purely out of curiosity. My train of thought is that im sure someone has attempted it. In a few years time when E39s are really old and scarce...im sure someone will attempt all kinds of weird and wonderful experiments like they do on older cars these days.


Im still looking for an E39 at this stage, found one for R35k but its a code 3. 2001 325i A/T with rear blind, navi, sunroof, and a few other features.

 

[RAArmstrong]

Dont buy a code 3 :nonono:

 

[Hellrot]

Dont buy a code 3 :nonono:

Nope...not even thinking about it. Would rather buy a base prefacelift model before a code 3 later model

 

[Willy]

Stay away from code 3 cars . . .

2001 325i? you mean 525i?

Rather just look for a good facelift one, they go for very little money and usually been in the market for long so sellers will go for offers.

What's your budget?
