So u still want to consider to buy e39 now ?[/QUOTE
I don't understand u, you just brought an E39 couple of months ago, Started telling us how u enjoy the ride and now u pose a statement to forummers to discouraged them from owing an E39 just because cannot buy second hand crucial parts for the car.
A few pointers for you to consider;
a) I DON'T purchase second hand CRUCIAL parts for my E39;
B) if an E39 driver always drive at 110kph and move left when being flash by a myvi, better he sell it off because the myvi driver will go to a public area and laugh and mock at ALL E39 owners, and that includes ME;
C) do u read and understand well? Because the newspaper say govt may stop importation of all vehicles crucial second hand parts, did it mention only BMW second hand parts , especially E39?
Food for your thoughts.
