Hello and Thank You for taking the time to view my beloved BMW. This is a 528i and is very different than most. As a stock vehicle, it was assembled on a Limo chassis. This means it is more rigid, safer, and even more well- balanced. It is quite possible this car is a European model. It has some "M" characteristics and when I installed the new front struts, the more heavy duty bracing and suspension was obvious. I also believe the in-line six is of the highest horsepower offered from the factory for the 5 Series in 2000. I retained all the stock parts that were upgraded, except for wear parts like brakes, etc.The upgrades are: cross-drilled slotted titanium plated rotors with ceramic pads, an AFE (non oil type) cold air intake, (recommended by a friend who races BMW's), racing quality spark plug coils from "Autohaus, new NGK spark plugs and heavy duty boots, and a "Hyper Chip". This chip is installed to the wiring harness, the original harness does not get altered in any way. The chip, the intake, and the coils, I'm sure add a good 25 hp. I noticed a difference in performance and better gas mileage as each were installed. Now having all three upgrades working at once adds a lot of driving pleasure. Ever since I owned this car it was serviced by a BMW dealership in Conn. All oil changes, and very minor things that warranted replacement were changed at these intervals. Anyone who knows BMW s will agree that the E39 (2000-2003) is the most dependable and trouble free BMW, in general terms, of course. Feel free to email me with any comments or questions. Last but not least, this car is not a lower priced BMW for this era and model, however if you see the car in person the story tells itself. |
