Guys, Thinking of buying a 1996 540i but slightly concerned about this bore wear issue on M60 engines. To my knowledge the block was not replaced on this car but I am not sure whether it was tested/needed replacing anyway.

Its only done 38,000 miles and has fBMWsh. Any need to be concerned or do I worry too much?

Just sold my 540 with 170,000 miles on the clock. The engine was running just as sweet as the day I bought it (with 30,000 miles). These engines are great! Dont worry! It was a 6 speed manual and got thrashed every day!
