I have just sold my 1995 E34 525TDS, and whilst it had a few problems which I sorted, I really liked the car. However, the replacement does not inspire confidence and so I am looking for another 5 ? series and have the following wishlist. Diesel, Manual, reliable, age between 1997 and 2001 and a budget of around GBP £8K or a bit more if justified. I can do most work myself but do not have many "special" tools.
Can anyone point me to models to look for and those to avoid for ? whatever reasons ?
I guess it may/must be an E39, but don't know much model history / years to avoid / gadgets to go for etc..
Appreciate comments and suggestions
Thanks,
Nick
