Pretty acurate answer from the man above me. Just want to add two things. one A VAST most of the nikasil problems were fixed on BMW's dollar under a recall notice. The dealership can tell if the recall was done. don't purchase A CAR THAT has not HAD THE PISTON SLEEVES REPLACED. If the work was done and confirmed by either paper work or your local dealers, there will be no problem. two do not purchase a 530i. It was a more problematic motor, and parts are somewhat hard to find. But to answer the question.both the 530i and 540i went into production in 11/93 and sold as 94's. Great cars.

In 1994 BMW released a 530i and a 540i, which both carried a v8 powerplant. There was a big problem with the blocks on those cars, where a metal called nikasil has been used and mass failure of the blocks happened.
