Spent last night reading about E39's. Seems like it could be a somewhat sensible replacement for the w124. I keep reading wildly varying reports about mpg though. Fuelly, which I assumed was fairly correct, lists it as quite thirsty, even with the smaller engines. On forums though people report 45mpg from the 520i...
Then again, if I look up my w124 e220 fuelly says 24.5mpg while I get a consistent 35, sometimes even 37 depending on how I drive.
Anyone got some real world experience?
