The E39 is a wonderful car. It's the perfect size for comfort and driveability. I have 24+ mpg since I've bought my 530i Sport 5-speed. On the second mpg monitor I get over 23 mpg during my daily communte of 60+ miles.
The car is so quite and well built that I have riders comment on how quiet and smooth it is. I've been on four 5 hour drives the last couple of weeks and it was perfect. Never got tired of drivig it. The 3.0 has plenty of torque for all situations, so the 4.0 should be great.
I bought mine with 61k miles on it two years ago and I'm almost at 90k miles. No problems with it. Had to replace a broken front sway bar link, so I just replaced both front ones for about $40. The oil pan started seeping, so I'll replace it in the spring. It burns about 1 quart every 4000 miles which is great.
The E39 is a great blend of looks, comfort and sport. You'll enjoy it. Congrats.
