.Selling my ultra reliable E34 and buying a E39 530i Auto with 142k (FSH to be fair) anbd every extra available on it. Its a facelifted model, 3k.

Are these E39s a lot more to run than an E34, which in all honesty costs peanuts.

Thats seriously cheap even with the mileage - make sure its cheap because the owner has undervalued it not because he wants shot of it. A good E39 is a fabulous car, I bought one on the same mileage 3 years ago for rather more and its been stunning. A bad E39 is a horrible money sapping pit of fail.

Every option? Thats pretty damn rare, I've not seen a 530i with S-EDC, Double Glazing or Comfort seats before.

Thats so little. Makes me cringe when I think how much mine was. Mind you I guess mine was half the age of that one when I bought it.
