Although, I will admit - I have a couple of friends that swear by their 00 and 01 model E38's.

Goods and bads with all I guess....
The E-38 is new to me. I knew about all it's potential "issues". I found one with only 58K on the clock to minimize them. But, currently I'm stuck with a SES light and, after dumping $1K into it chasing things........it's still there.

It do love the way it drives and handles, however.........leaves lesser vehicles in the dust on any curve.

Like the W140, it's a very complex piece of machinery and it takes a skilled tech to solve its issues in an expedient manner.
