Hell type in 37mm and start browsing
I've found lots of stuff out there. Was hoping someone has something locally. Thanks for digging though, I'd only found one of the links that you posted.Quote:

If you haven't yet, inspect the cooling system. Those are known for grenading around 100k but it's easily fixable just don't want you to get stranded. 5series is a great car.
^This. I have a '96 M3 and they have the same issue. $5-700 in parts and a few hours and everything can be replaced. The 5 series might be a bit more but these older BMW's aren't that hard to wrench on. Outside of that, the VANOS going out and the rear camber eating up tires, they are good to go. I've always liked those e39 5-series.Quote:

We bought a 2000 528i for our grandson last year, and it's rapidly turning into a steaming pile. I'll never own another BMW.Quote:

A 13 year old BMW with over 100k miles, you're funny thinking you don't have a car payment. My mom had the same car and after 70k miles the continual repair bill quickly exceeded having a car payment.Quote:

BMWs are designed to have the needle stay in the middle for a range of temperatures. You won't see it move from dead center until after temps are exceeding 230 degrees or so. If you wait too long to shut it down while over heating, you risk damaging the head/head gasket. The m/s series engines are sensitive to over heating so if that needle moves, shut it down.Quote:

What if 6 turned out to be 9
There is SOME truth behind this. BMW's are no different then any other vehicle make. They leak, they have problems, and they need repairs. The difference comes down to the parts are more expensive, there are more labor hours to fix things and depending on who you go to, the hourly labor rate is more expensive to work on these cars. A lot of shops will say they can work on BMW's but they are a special kind of breed and require more of a specialized shop. I worked at BMW/MINI for a few years and I learned quite at bit about these cars. They are reliable, very luxurious but as stated earlier, they are expensive to maintain. If we you want the best fuel mileage, get some wheels like Kazoo!Quote:

I have all the recent maintenance records and over the last 3 years, less than $1000 was put into it (and that was a couple of expensive trips to the stealership for the above mentioned radiator parts and service). Hopefully any necessary repairs won't cost more than $8000/year... because that's how much my current car payment and depreciation is costing me.Quote:

Nice....is the Continental GT gone?
The grandson's steaming turd is in the shop right now for overheating and a head gasket, thank God we bought a service contract with it. The assurance co. is just going to replace the engine rather than risk fixing the boat anchor that's in it.Quote:
