if it was Brilliantrot i would consider buying it to finish replacing body panels on my car and then part out the rest 

Damnation.

It is brilliantrot, you can see the label on the shock tower in the picture of the engine bay. But I'd be really sad if you parted it out. 

Buuuuut if you do....I got first dibs on the front and rear seats and door cards.

lolol you guys are awesome. Definitely not shitfucks

unfortunately the seller has not responded to me and I messaged him yesterday at 10 a.m.

I did the same reach out last night with the same results. No reply.

I was curious about maintenance status of the m42 mechanicals such profile gasket, timing chain system, oil leaks, reasons why the radiator/thermostat were replaced (leaks, overheating), vacuum hoses, etc.

Thanks for posting this up Chris. If anyone has any questions, ask.

There's a reason for that, if you take care of them they never degrade to shitbox status. I can't say my E55 AMG was a clear upgrade honestly.

What's your thoughts on a e55 amg? Have been eyeing them up lately. Problems? Rust issues? Etc.

Wasn't a jab at you or anything. I just can't remember seeing one with less than 130k. GLWS.

I saw this one, that seems like a reasonable price for that car.  It'd be a great daily/winter car!

Agreed, they all have a ton of miles!  Makes sense with their status as an executive commuter/highway cruiser.  I've always had a crush on the facelift e39 540i/6 msport.
