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.
