If your handy with the spanners there no worse than any other car that is in or around 15 years old (common issues as above). If you have to pay someone they are a potential moneypit. Parts themselves are very cheap. I also recommend getting a good diagnostic setup 40 euro on eBay for disc and cable. Pick a good one an happy days.
Would there be a huge difference in mpg if i was to go for a 525????
No, none.Quote:

Thanks a million lads, great help as usual.
To add to the above, the e39 is still the best all-round car I've owned. I also wouldn't bother with the 2.2, the 2.5 is barely any more on tax and suits the car better. The 3.0 petrol is the pick of the range for me but you have to be willing to foot the tax bill.
Try and buy on condition rather than mileage, and as has been said try and buy from an enthusiast or at least a low owner car. When I was looking I also tried to find the highest spec possible (no manual air con etc) but at this stage you might have to take a cut on the spec to get the right car.
Are you tired of the e46 already Johnny? I loved mine back in the day. I still think they look cracking for a 10-12 year old car!
Just not feelin it Nige, theres nothing wrong with it doh they are a nice car lovely to look at. But I just dont have the same love that I had for my e36 haha. Do you still have the m3 havent seen you around in a while????Quote:
