Okay, after going through five E39 from used car dealers, i finally paid my dp for a 1997 523i bone stock. Planning on changing the stock rims to larger 17inch and adding side skirt.This would be my 2nd bmw. The first one was a E34 that belongs to my father. He sold it 6 years ago. After reading the e39 subforum, can see alot of racun.
