Reviews BMW 5 E60 Series 2003 - 2007

Reviews BMW 5 Sedan2003 - 2007 series collected from masters and engineers of service stations for an objective assessment of reliability and features of operation 5 series sedan.
Engine In gasoline engines N42 The resource of the chain and tensioner is about 200 thousand km. Engines of the N series manufacturer allow oil consumption to 750 grams per 1000 km. Six-cylinder gasoline engines are extremely reliable with timely replacing oil and filters (oil, fuel, air), as well as supporting the cooling system in fully working condition, because These engines do not like overheating. The chain resource with the tensioner on six-cylinder gasoline engines is about 400 thousand km. In the case of late replacement of the worn circuit, it is possible and, as a result, expensive repair (cost of the chain and tensioner: 5300 rubles and 3800 rubles; work on replacing the chain with tensioner 22 norms-hour). In diesel engines M47 and M57 with the Common Rail injection system in the intake manifold there are vortex flaps, the resource of which is 120 - 150 thousand km., the failure of the vortex dampers leads either to the need for expensive repair, or to the replacement of the engine. Bibeedia recommends propagatively remove vortex flaps from the intake manifold in M47 and M57 engines to avoid possible engine damage (in case of failure, they are found in cylinders). Bibipeedia recommends on vehicles with diesel engines in mandatory every 10 thousand km. Change the fuel filter, as well as use only high-quality fuel, as the use of low-quality fuels leads to damage to electronic nozzles and fuel equipment. The oil surcharge caps on the N42 after 150 thousand km dry, which leads to an increase in oil consumption (up to 2 l per 1000 km); It is eliminated only by the replacement of the cap (the cost of the work on the replacement of oil-challenge caps is 7.5 normal hours).
Transmission Sometimes there are oils from the pallet of the automatic transmission (the pallet changes only in the filter assembly).

For sure. These dampers were installed in favor of the engine to enter the super-duper ecological norms. \u003cbr/\u003e However, the developers understood their cant and since 2010 such dampers do not put, and the happy owners recommend removing them ($ 20 in service) and put the plugs while Not late ..
