Was thinking of taking the next step in generation in five series but was wondering is there much difference between the e39 and e60 underneath as in suspension? Is it a case of Al the same parts just a different body lumped on? And are they the same line of engines. ie the 2.2? . Cooling systems differ a bit I know as in the rad is completely different. ( I ordered I rad for my 2.2 e39 and got a e60 instead, completely redesigned) do the 2.2 e60 still burn oil?. That kind of stuff, ideally I would prefer the 2.5 deisel... I do fifty mile daily, 250+ a week, but can't bear the tax for the 3.0 ( or even the 2.5 at that.!)
Any advice and support will be looked apon wit a tip of the hat in respect
