    Ah, I see. :) you know your watch gives you radiation? But the amount emitted by a digital watch is so low that you'd have to be about the size of a grain of salt and wear the watch for something like 9,000 years before it would even begin to have any detectable effects. :)

    Analogue watches radiate if they have glow in the dark hands

    Old watches used radium for this but that was obviously banned, now they use tritium

    Not nice :( where?

    Look at it this way, its easier to take out huge dents than little uns. In the winter of 2010 I slipped and pushed the whole wing of my car in. When we were finished just a few marks a lick of paint wouldn't cure

    I no they look awful to anyone with eyes but you can't deny it would be the perfect car for any drug dealer!

    Or you could save it and have an interesting show car in a few years....

    I couldn't say as I've never had an E60 but you could be lucky and have little / no issues. As a general rule though more parts = more hassle, be it electronic or turbo, etc.

    A late model E39 with all the bells and whistles would be my choice over an E60.

    Electric water pump is something that goes on them. My dad's 523i had that issue, can't remember the cost to replace, but it was pricey, maybe 5/600?

    My dads is an 06 i think, and other than that failure, nothing else has really gone wrong. Engines are strong in them, his is an auto too.

    From this point forward I shall be known as Madam Zelda the psychic.

    Did the NCT and sure enough it failed as the ball joint on the offside is worn.

    Did I not predict front suspension issues?

    Apart from that all was good.

    Rather bizarrely the tester came out to me at the end, and asked me to open the boot, as he couldn't figure out how to do it :confused:
