I have actually owned an E34 535iSE (manual), 2 years Owned an 89' 730iSE Auto, 2 years Flown a 9000 CSE 2.3SE FPT, 1 year Driven an E39 528iSE, Driven the 9-5 Se 2.3 LPT in question.. So I have "a little" experience of the cars in question. and I have learned the hard way, performance and comfort is very nice, but not so nice at when cost of maintenance is high and reliability is low. The point I was making was that the dealer/specialist bent over backwards to make sure I was happy, and keep to keep his customers happy who regularily spend £10K on his cars.. Now, that's not so difficult to understand.... is it? > > -- > Grunff
