This Car has never failed to bring a smile to my face, with 400bhp as standard it really is well equipped as a weekend car or a daily driver...
I bought this car with no intention of ever selling it! Well circumstances have changed and I have now gone out and bought myself an RS4 (Family Estate)
I have spent an absolute fortune on this car when I add up everything that has been done in my ownership!
The car has had 3 previous owners, the owner prior to me had the car since 01/11/2005! Prizing it out of his hands was not easy as he had obviously become quite attached to the vehicle in that time! Car has covered 109k miles but is still in use currently.
The Car has had the following all completed within the last 18 months...
New Clutch & Flywheel
Genuine Clutch Slave Cylinder
Rear Light Gaskets
Battery
Genuine Front Discs (We all know what these cost!!)
Ferodo DS2500 Front Pads

I Cant really think of much that hasn't been replaced on this car! The car really does sound and drive really well as you can expect!
The only points I would point out just to be honest are as follows...
Handbrake Feels pretty weak and I dont have much confidence in it so always park in gear, but is very common on the E39 - Still passed MOT with no issues
Centre Console Mobile phone holder is broken as shown in photos (No real issue)
Drivers door lock is slightly slower than all the rest but has always been like this! Always works!
Parking Sensors don't always work every time - Maybe a faulty sensor but doesn't really bother me.
Good Bits!
