Value of 2000 528i ?

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to help out a very good customer of mine who wants to dispose of his 528i. It has an intermittent fault which we are assuming is caused by flooding of the "E" box. It still drives fine and gives a starting issue which scans as a faulty air mass sensor. Another repairer has fitted a brand new sensor and the fault still occurs. It's been smoke tested, manifold vacuum test, fuel pressure, timing chain check etc etc by the other repairer. The "E" box lid would need to be damaged to get it open which would require another "E" box so that another DME can be tried to sort the problem. The customer want's to stop spending on the vehicle and move on. It's real tidy done 180139Km. Rego till 10/16. WOF 0816

What's it worth ??

Anyone interested ??

Why would the Ebox lid need to be damaged? Doesn't it have a couple of screws and then lift off?

One is seized... the one directly under the screen and water channel.

Your picture is wrong... the "E" box is on the other side in this vehicle

Oh, well that sucks. Had a similar issue when swapping DME's in the 740i. And I did end up damaging it..lol

Import or NZ new Glenn? ZA plates look about right for 2000.

In its current state I'd guess about $1000 +/-. Even with a replacement DME and a new enclosure it's still only a non-M spec 528i with approaching 200,000km. Bummer this didn't come up a couple months ago, I had a perfect condition DME enclosure he could have had for free :( BIffed it out as I thought I'd never have a use for it!
