2001 E39 530d Auto - 346000kms - Orient Blue with Cream Leather, Exclusive Pack, S/R, and I have had the Titanium Tint installed.

Wow, thats some serious mileage, glad to hear. Have you had any serious problems/repairs?

Hey,

Just bought a 2000 528 E39. Light green with 178000 on the clock.

I must say, the car drives fantastically. Comfortable & quite. Beautiful for long trips.

But it scares me that the car's got so much electronics... I'm sure it can do everthing you want, including making you a cup of coffee... :hammerhead:

Just hope it lasts me a lifetime... I'll keep it that long 'cuase I'm really impressed with it.

Will post pipcs later.
