I no need to prove to you, why not you bring a video recorder and come to my friend's collision repair shop at Batu Cave ? The shop is call Li Chan. They just bought a special drill to open the frame and cost more than RM1k. I heard that they not yet buy the special gun and special glue. The special gun more than few Thousand RM. So the e60 still not yet repair. You can see for yourself when i bring you there. You want to see for yourself or not ?

So you obtained the story about noise of e60 from a ex-chop shop and now turned body repair shop. Is this body repair shop an authorised BMW car body repair shop?? Please lah.....next time want to write something, get your story from a more reliable source other than a ex-chop shop.

As i said why not you bring a Video Recorder to that shop and prove it you are right ? Talk bullshit at here got any use ? They just open the e60 body already. So you still have the chance to record all the things that you want. Faster go there and see now. Then you will know is true or not and will prove that i am bullshit or not ? Authorised from BMW got any use ? Authorised from BMW body repair shop got related to your car created that sound ?
Why not you go and test drive e60 2nd hand which old abit see got the problem or not ?

I believe that only you are the one who dont know e60 bodyframe is aluminium !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can aluminium welding against steel ? So if not welding then using glue and nail plug together got problem or not ? You got brain or not ? Can think or not ?
Why not you call the members of e60 give some comment about what they think of no welding against bodyframe and wheel house ?????

Can you read english words ? When i told you i get all the source from chop shop or body repair shop ? I discovered this when i test drive for few 2nd hand e60. I want to go to this shop and see how this sound create since they already open the e60 head !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your head really hard like at stone.................SO SAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people just don't understand what I am trying to convey and could I blame them for being just that? I guess not coz certain people can't differentiate what is logical and what is unlogical. Must be something to do with one's DNA or perhaps wrong mixture of genes during conception stage and I really don't know.

Yeah, I recommend E39. Go for 525i but it's kinda pricey I notice recently, maybe coz there's a increasing demand for 2.5l for it's relatively cheaper roadtax than 3.0l. 520i 2.2l is cheaper as there's lesser demand (I guess) but it's still a good starting point, that's what I did.
If your pocket is deeper then go for newer E60 but then that's OT here.

I agree with that too. Everyone talks about 2-4k repair bills everytime they visit the workshop, but not prepared to pay RM2077.50 once a year for the roadtax. RM1200 per year to enjoy the 530i over the 525i, I think its worth every cent. I certainly am happy with it.
That said, however, it is apparent that good condition 530i's are quite rare in the market these days. Looks like I bought the right car back home from UK.
