    Is it worth repairing realistically ? If it's a long term keeper, then of course it may make sense....

    A rebuilt gearbox costing a similar value of the entire car may not be the best financial decision if going to move it on anytime soon.

    It's a tough call as makes no financial sense with age etc but to be fair it has turbo/injectors all done along with suspension with 200k on it and aegean blue which was a limited run of 300 produced in 03.

    I am a sucker for E39's and has been a comfy daily clocking up 600 miles a week.

    If it get the box done, drive it on for next 100k and write off the cost over 3 years etc
