melowpuf 19 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Those 5000km must have been through gravel roads after pouring a few litres of engine oil over the engine first.. I've had 300000km+ engines cleaner than that.. maybe it was a brand new distributor cap put on 5000km ago for $6000 Or maybe they are photo's from before the "new" engine went in.. who knows..he may have done a 2.5 conversion with a brand new engine.. certainly isnt the one in those photos though.. The car in that listing is a 520i aswell. Edited October 1, 2010 by melowpuf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 Would 6,000 get you a full rebuild? Maybe it's just rebuilt? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
