That E39 is amazing. In B4 Max tells me 10 other things I should do with $40K before buying the least durable engine in the world.

Does it matter ? $500 buys a nice set of shocks and they are not hard at all change.
What else can someone buy that is German, rwd, i6, great looking and will run for another 70-100k with little to no issues, for 5k.

If you can work on it yourself and don’t mind it then it’s no big deal.
