Im thinkin about going for E39 528 2001 too, the price also the same but havent meet the guy yet.

There are no 528i E39s in 2001, the last ones are 1999-very early 2000.

Bring a phone with a good internet connection next time you go view a car, get the VIN from the engine bay and type the last 7 digits to www.bmwvin.com to get the full specs and year of manufacture.

hi,
the 328i engine is more or less bullet proof in my opinion. for me there are some minor leaks around the valve cover and also the oil pan. both which can be easily changed. just need to make sure that the cooling system is in good condition, ie: radiator, expansion tanks, hoses, water pump, thermostat. other than that the engine not giving me prob. my prob is the gearbox, which i now converted to manual. hope my 2 cents helps.

IINM, pre-facelift E46 steptronic gear shift orientation is different than post-facelift ones, like what you've mentioned.
