PLEASE talk me out of buying a BMW E39 wagon!

[haz]

I NEED HELP! I have a crush ... her name is E39 and she was born in the year 2000 .. I am meeting her tomorrow. She is really cheap and I think she is a future classic.

Thing is - I just bought a Tesla Model S 75D and I really don?t need more cars, I have no space for one more either.

SO please talk me out of this!!

Everyone has flaws.. like my Tesla for instance, has really really really really noisy window vipers .. BMW don?t have that. BMW 1 - Tesla 0. Hehe.. also I have been drinking.

Outside of the 20iA being not really a rocketship, I can't do much for you. But you got a rocketship already anyway.

 

[Mitchi]

One negative point I could find: 520i with automatic - very slow! But it's not like any other combo will feel quicker to you now as you own that Tesla ... :lol:

Edit: ninja'd ...

Akevitt is a helluva drug.

i do i do .. but this E39 has the whole package tho. And I parted with my E90 325i this summer and I have had a crushed heart ever since.

And I thought my window rattlesnakes were annoying...

 

[Matt2000]

I'd avoid it because of the engine, it's too small. 525i upwards only if it was my money.

 

[93Flareside]

noisy window vipers ...

:lol:

Snakes on a (window) pane!

 

[haz]

Actually, it?s the viper motor that makes the noise.

Still not convinced guys.. and it?s about 4 hrs untill I?m seeing my crush, E39

Having recently been in one, I can confirm that this fucker blows up your ears in no time.. although it might be more the sidepipe like 3 feet next to you in a convertible.. not sure..
