I am planning to replace this vehicle with V8 as I need something more powerful to trail my boat, so replacing all 4 O2 sensors won't be economical. This vehicle is probably worth $3k tops, and I...

Alternator

Hello fellow E70 owners! My 09 E70 N52 just hit 140k miles, and I had pretty much everything changed on that vehicle: water pump/thermostat twice, starter, belts, gaskets, etc. The only part that...

You can use this VIN decoder (http://bimmer.work/) to look up the car options.
