Overheated 5er

[bimmer boy 21]

i just wanted to know if it is hard to fix a car that has overheated back so it is driveable?

and how much

cos i saw a 5er for sale but it had over heated and wanna know how much it would take to fix

[Gus 5]

lots....depending on damage...but sooo much easier just to get a working car.....coming from someone who has got a car with heaps of little sh*t to fix

[bimmer boy 21]

cos i found a 525i se and it manual for only $1000 and i thought it could be worth it because its manual and are quite rare

You get what you pay for. You have been warned.

Also, sure manual are quite rare, but for a few grand you can do a conversion (and it will have a not yet worn out clutch etc.) Someone go name a price, coz i forget.

It depends.. the head will have to come off - be machined - new gasket.. in fact it may be totallally warped. A cylinder may have scored the block - its cheapest to get a new block and set of pistons...

so yeah.. its not that easy. A bunch of things could of gone wrong.
