Funfgate Part IV:
She's booked in next week for another wallet raping session; this time it's the rear ball joints and the propshaft coupling that have met their maker.
So far, I'm sticking with the tradition of a large bill for each month I've owned the car. This latest one should take the running costs thus far well into the £5k mark
Pass me the crack pipe.

Just get yourself a TVR and have done with it, with your car history it would be sods law that a TVR will never cause you any pain of the wallet and be the most reliable car you've owned.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJrP8Pg2xTQ&pla...

Can you obtain any comfort from the fact that you are now something of a legend (albeit an unfortunate one)?She's booked in next week for another wallet raping session; this time it's the rear ball joints and the propshaft coupling that have met their maker.

I really want an E39 M5 but you are single handedly managing to put me off....

It it helps (it will), I've had my 540i about as long as you've had your M5, and in the same time it has cost me £150 in repairs, plus about £30 for the parts to do a service when I got it.
And it'll do 155mph.
AND, going down the motorway at 0.7 leptons, it's just as quick as an M5 doing 0.7 leptons.
Just a thought.

Erm...are all M5's as unreliable as seem to be the case with the ones you've bought Great Pretender?
Apparently there are some reliable ones out there, but for whatever reason they seem to evade me!
In fairness, a lot of it depends on how much due diligence you perform before buying. Had I not been in a rush to buy the first car I saw (patience is not a virtue of mine) I'd likely have either bought a higher mileage car with evidence of work done to it, or saved a little more for a v. low mileage minter.
As it stands I bought a car on the cusp of needing some 'refreshment'
