Get the car! I had a my first cooling problem (expansion tank) at about 70,000 miles. The other big problem that shows up on E39s with 150,000 miles is the auto transmission. Front end suspension seems to need work around 100,000 miles. One other defect I've seen on other E39s is the LED readout on the radio. These issues are all manageable. I still like the way my 528i handles more than my wife's Z4. Really! Get the car.

Good luck.
