Not missing a digit. It had 2100 on it this time last year. I drove it Sunday and it now has 3400 on it. Yes that is correct.

Gone.
The S4 Avant will soon be gone too. As soon as I got the M5 I realized that it is everything that we need in a sedan.

I do need to get more leatherique though. Heritage leather can be a pain when it comes to this.
The previous owner left the car in the garage and forgot about it, so while it has really low miles, the leather was on the dry side, and after one huge sloppy leatherique treatment, the leather looks nice, but I imagine it probably needs at leat another 4 or 5 treatments to look close to new. The driver bolster has some wear, because the guy didn't know the secret to no wear driver side bolster, which is that you slide the seat back before you get out. So I have to buy a new leather coverto replace this one, about 600 bucks from BMW. I also need to do the radiator cleaning. There's a procedures on loosening the two screws on top to move the radiator and use water hose to blast the accumulated gunk out of there. Other than that the car is perfect.

Damn. You need to drive that car! It's going to waste.

The entire brain was replaced before the car got running again.......new transmission, new this and new that........my problem is the heater/ac not working now. My hope is to find a post on here that can help me

Its not good at all to not drive these cars. The window regulaters can freeze up, seats will seize, and the electronic mirrors will fail. Also when the E39 M5's sit they are more prone to carbon built up. At least start it every weak or so.

I've just got a little over 112,000 on a 2002 and hope she dont come down with any kind of illness. I beleive in preventive maintanance and praccticing safe sex
So.. using new rubbers and keeping her lubed up will hopefully do the trick.

About to cross 69K, just bought her about two months ago.
Just a few cosmetic things away from perfection, need to touch up a couple of the rims, one decent scratch on apron. Also need to adjust the Bilstein kit to be less harsh.
