Finally dumped it. Loved the car but said it cost way too much to run. He is a checkbook mechanic and had to pay for everything and isn't car savvy, so he probably got taken a few times, but he couldn't deal with the upkeep. He makes a good living, but I think he was spending over $2K/yr outside of gas and routine stuff like oil changes.
The Saab 9K he had previously he sold to a mutual friend and it's still running fine with about 150K on it. It cost him a lot less to keep, but he said the Bimmer was more fun to drive. But he had an LPT 9K, so it's not much of a comparison.
Another friend just bought a 2002 530. He looked at the 540 but found the maintenance could get pretty pricey, so went for the 530.
