Hey just had a thought?maybe you guys can bend the rules a bit and let me stay?I do still have a 5-series?only its 20 years old?its my 1985 mint condition 528E?parents bought it new in 1985 and it was given to me 3 years ago when my dad died. No accidents ever?perfect everything?and even a Dinan ECU (really no kidding)

185,000 miles, oil changed every 3k?still on the original engine and tranny (with no rebuilds)?see I do have faith in BMW quality and longevity?so can I stay? Why didn?t I think of this before?see that MBZ is clouding my thinking

525e - that's a "high mileage"/low consumption engine isn't it? Nice torque on low revs?
