I like this sentence "...that the E39 use to cost well over RM350k new and the parts replacement doesn't depreciate like the car value".Currently, I'm still coping with the maintenance of an E34, and I know that maintaining an E39 would be much more difficult. So have to work hard, earn more money =)Also agree with bimmer73 that having a decent and honest mechanic is also very important, one of our best friends during our BMW ownership lifetime =)</blockquote>
