Hi All, Finally got around to joining, after 18 months of (mostly) enjoying my e39 530i. Picked her up with 130k on the clock. Budgeted $2.5k to do the necessary, and pretty much got there...: radiator, belts, plugs,oil leak on filter housing, fuel pump and filter, fan speed resistor, ABS control unit..... hopefully that'll do for now, but if there's anything glairingly obvious that's due at 160k, please..... She's just back from the panelbeater after losing a fight with a tractor wheel, but the guys have done a great job and after a cut and polish should be pretty straight. Great to have this huge knowledge pool to lean on, but kinda hoping I won't have to for a while..... Cheers, PS
