[QUOTE="NKTOB, post: 172676, member: 2762"] Whether it's E39 or E46s... After 5-6 yrs, the usual wear & tears kicks in..the costs of replacing thm are not much difference, certain parts are higher than the other model. Then again, it's a totally different lifestlye all together...E46 ( 3 series, b4 new E90s is the best looking/saleable 3 series worlwide to include M3 & CSLs ) i.e. young & trendy lifestlye! The E39 - being a 5 series, always have that "family ride" feel....no qualms as it's really a damn good ride as well! especially those E39 - M5! There you go folks...E39 or E46 is really a matter of choice. Maintenance wise, if one is really to compare, then don't do it among UDMs if one were to own one! My ride, so far the replacement costs are wear & tear after 6 yrs (UK specs) no major repairs..and it does fits my current profile! So, is luck playing a major role here?? :D [/QUOTE]
