Hello my friends . I have been searching and domcumenting myself on the internet about the 528I car model (produced in 1998) . I noticed that some cars with this engine have a nikasil block and they have problems ...
I read alot about this but I didn't find no good article that can tell me how I can detect the nikasil blocks .
I need help with this . How can I detect if the 528I car has a nikasil engine ?
What number should the engine have to NOT HAVE NIKASIL block ?
Please give me all info possible . Also, tell me all other methods of detecting a nikasil block (100% sure methods) other then leak test . I can't make a leak test becouse I am buying the car from a manager of a bmw service (the biggest in my country) and he sayed that I can take it or leave it . I want to take it becouse it's beautiful and I want to change my curent car (318TI from 97) .
So please, all advices are welcomed . Thank you
