Hi all,

I have a 2006 E60 530D which used to be used by Essex police as an unmarked patrol vehicle. The only service history I have is a spreadsheet which is mostly tip-exxed out. I know that it has been very well cared for, and I strongly suspect that the engine has been changed as it looks and feels too new to have done 240K miles. Is there any way for me to find out if the engine is new?

Much appreciated as always

B.

Yes I can see that pretty much every panel has been replaced, but done well, and lots of mechanical parts. It also had two batteries.

The thing Im trying to get to the bottom of is the engine change, as it looks far too new. Obviously this has a significant effect on my cars value and servicing requirements. Ive checked with the DVLA, but if its been processed correctly (which I think the Police did), there isn't a record of the change.
