I'm seeing upside down pics.
And I still kind of want this. |

The answer is that they stuck the recirculating ball crap in because they already had it. It’s 100% value / parts bin engineering.

In my view, no.
I care a lot about steering and handling. I have driven e39 m5's many times, I've owned two rack-n-pinion steered 528i's. It's still way, way better than electric steering cars like the f10, f30 etc. |

I say no too. The car has an element of luxury to it that is different then say an M3. It just does everything amazingly well. It isn't a tossible little sports car. It's much more GT, so IMHO the steering doesn't kill the experience.

Nice.

Hey Josh,
Trying to stay in scope locally with shape, year, recent sales, maintenance and the recent uptick in price(One reason I decided to finally give it a shot) I’m at $22. I’m going to see what happens at that price with the ad’s I’m posting this weekend then reaccess. The thing is I don’t really need to sell it so I may change my mind again if there are only low ballers. The car needs nothing right now. PPI’s welcome. I just spent another $1800 getting the drivers seat back fully replaced to correct the dreaded seat twist in E39’s after the cheap fix failed.

LOL. You laugh but it still actually works amazingly well and I have not had any issues with it getting me anywhere. The non flat birds eye view from the final software update also makes it look less dated then the flat views.
