[QUOTE="kevster30, post: 412809, member: 10"] My 25 sen, Get an e39 if is to be your only car as it offers the best combination of sports sedan and luxury sedan characteristics. An e38 is a luxo barge and is a GT(grand tourer). The e39 is more dynamic whereas the e38 is more spacious and comfortable. For me personally, it's the e38 for me as I find that it is one of the best designed BMW ever. It is the pinnacle of the 3 box design and offers the best mix of classic and modern BMW characteristics. My research also shows that the e38s are easier to maintain due to 2 main reasons: 1) Larger engine compartment reduces heatsoak in the engine bay. Which is a great thing in our tropical climate. The seals, gaskets, sensors, rubber and plastic parts are less prone to heat damage. 2) The 7er leads a gentler life(less fast n furious antics) and is usually very well maintained as compared to the 5er. The 7er also generally has less owners. Also worth noting, many parts are shared or similar between the e39 and e38 mechanically, hence there is very little difference in the running costs between the two. [/QUOTE]
