Is this the volvo 's replacement?
With any luck I'll be able to time you selling it with the need / permission from the other half ;)

Which one is the E39? I had an 02 or 03 530. Lovely car. Parts were fairly cheap and not a lot went wrong with until I sent it backward into a wall. At which point parts became altogether too expensive.
Would have another though, they drive like a much smaller car. -
I've found forum.bmw5 to be the most helpful one so far.
Spare parts are pretty easily available, I've got most of mine from dealers. (Replaced turbo that have failed mainly).
Very very reliable car, very rarely misses a beat and is about to hit 170,000. Does 52mpg if you drive sensibly. 46 if you don't.
Main thing I have seen to watch out for is the swirl flaps (on the auto) degrading and being eaten by the engine. Otherwise if they are maintained well the do 200/300k by the looks of it.
Mines just had new bumpers / wing + is getting a sub.

I'm sure the 911 will be fine with BRM, legendary frontman of the Fucktones. Rock stars have no history of crashing sports cars, often fatally. Oh, wait.
Anyway- does anyone here know E39 5 series well? Or can recommend a forum not stuffed full of douche bags which would?
Interested in spares availability, predominantly.
