Called into an ICE shop nearby to check out a radio problem - the engineer told me he's got an E39 with 260k miles on the clock and still loves it to bits..........
Yesterday I was in Dobles Motorcycles in Coulsdon and again an engineer came over to look at my car - turns out he's got a late '90s 528 with 230k miles on it which he uses for towing the caravan and it still pulls like a train.
I only have 130k on mine so I feel quite junior.
Anyone else struggling to find a better car than an E39?
Happy days
Tony

Great cars aren't they?
Like Minimods said above, they have all the creature comforts you need without the extraneous nonsense like lane assist etc. etc.. I'm convinced the E39 is just about the best thing BMW ever did!
One thing I do want to do is replace the headlights and I heard there's a guy somewhere in the southeast who does nothing but replace headlights: anyone know who it is?
Cheers
