Hi Just happened that a friend of my was trading in his '01 525i with M Sport body pack that he has had from new at the same time. Needed a tidy up and a few bits. But got it for silly money. Full Valet - Done (What a difference! Discovered it's blue now) Overall I'm impressed with the car. Obviously hasn't got the interior space and leisurely grunt of the massive V8 but I'm enjoying driving it - just missing some of the 7 series toys! Edited by roygough |

Welcome Roy. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with the e39. Most of the issues you mentioned are pretty standard e39 wear and tear items so you should be all set for a while. I'm nudging 130k miles of e39 driving between this and the previous car and think they are a fantastic piece of kit. The only thing making me think of looking elsewhere in the BMW range at the moment is that my need for 4 doors on a daily driver has pretty much gone away. I've nearly always kept a coupe as a summer toy but it might be time to take a coupe as the daily driver and a soft top for the summer toy. |

Welcome to the fourm.
The E39 is a fine car. My 530i was the best car i've ever owned. |
