Anything in particular I should be looking for with the E39/M54/Steptronic combo? I understand from my research so far that the tailgate mechanisms can be troublesome and the good old radiator/water pump failure is still possible. Engines seem robust but no real info on the transmission...which auto is attached to the 2.5? I assume "lifetime" fill and a complicated fluid change necessitating diagnostic equipment? Suspension parts seem normal with the exception of the self leveling rear (that may or not be standard??). I found a selection of owners manuals for the '01 + '02 models on-line but no sales literature to assist in determining available options...anyone know of a good source? Any general info is appreciated since I am new to the E39, in particular any specific inspection points related to the touring. Thanks!

I removed the plastic piece and loosened the torx bolts the other day. It still looked like I may have to remove the whole grill/front surround and perhaps the aux fan cover? It's just so cold here in PA I don't want to waste time. Probably 15f for a high today.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You having problems with the pull handle under the hood. Think that may be more a matter of the cable binding than the latch itself. My old 325 started to have a problem, but I sold it before coming to terms with it. Maybe someone on the list can chime in with details.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks Marc, Well, yes and no. The latches are actually stuck open. The cable (I think) is free to move to and fro but the latches themselves are stuck open. I was hoping to get them out where I can get at the plastic covers off and see what is going on with the whole assembly.
