Autos have an EGR thermostat too, yeah only the autos have swirl flaps and they are prone to failure.

The boot and behind the fuel cap are the areas that are prone to rust but they rust behind the arch trim, the arches themselves, the door shuts.

In wouldn't say the suspension is a weak point, it's more of a case that the youngest e39 is 12 years old and if the suspension hasn't been changed, it's going to need it soon. It's a 2.5k job.

You're gonna have a hard time finding a good one in Ireland. Valdas car is worth a look.
