    oooh, another e60.  cool!  what colour?  is it a shade of silver, grey, or black?  I posted an 'advert' for monochrome e60's a while back.  #8 )

    Haha, it's silver. As in wanting to buy or selling?

    seriously though, yes you'll want to ensure your e60 is in good fettle.  Cooling System and transmission preventative maintenance is a good place to be.  have a google search for "so you've bought an e60", which will net you a link to a forum and a PDF file that's updated frequently.  Best to have a paper bag nearby, in case you read your way through the whole doc in one sitting, and start hyperventilating.  It gives you good pointers on what you need to to, should do, might do, on your new car.  Don't forget to enjoy it, though!

    Thank you, yes someone else recommended that, must take a look (on comp rather than phone though) and yes I'm sure there are horror stories, read the"dog and lemon" guide, he clearly hates anything not Toyota or Lexus though, so took most of the report with a grain of salt

    I was thinking trans and coolant issues would be top priority, thinking maybe someone like Hutt automatics for the trans and local Mech for the antifreeze, bit of a pain getting to the Hutt though.

    But yes it isn't a daily driver, so certainly intend to get out and enjoy it, total bliss so far?

    And as Pete says, joining in in some of the group activities is a great way to get stuck in.

    Yes, I'll have to for sure, as I said, great to catch up with like minded people.

    cheers
