Yep.
It is starting to show its age a bit more than it has recently.
Power adjustment functions stopped working on the drivers seat (so did the power steering wheel in/out). Glad the seat is where I want it. LOL
Suspension feels great - but is making some noises now.
Front input seal on trans is (I think) leaking...
But - I tell you ... I drove it the other day on a nice twisty road up north (out in the country). New tires.. No traffic. No problem. I know it is not the fastest car out there - but the combo of comfort and speed - it can't be beat. Felt nice to get it in a couple of high speed curves and let the back end hang out a bit (hearing the tires scrub a bit didn't hurt).
I know it will be out of my stable soon though. Maybe next year. Might make it to 250k. Need to figure things out - Ted's E39 M5 still beckons... lol... But Patty does not like to drive a stick, so - as a back up vehicle for her... need to see what happens...
