So, the Silver Bullet (530xiT) has a leaky oil pan. The gasket costs $84; labor is 9.5 hours because the front drive shaft passes through the oil pan. Awesome-can't wait for this bill as the radiator has a small hole in it as well ($865). Should be around $3500 when it's all done. FML

One day ... 
On a serious note, does anybody have any first hand experience with B5 S4s?
I've wanted one for as long as I can remember, but as the prices fall they're only that much more tempting. I have found a few very well maintained examples in my area ... going on Youtube and seeing videos like this does not help

Yeah, me too. I'm getting more and more convinced my next vehicle will non-CUV/SUV...I priced out an E-Class 4matic (non-AMG) and the price is not bad. Also in consideration is the 3-Series wagon.
Of course, there's always Audi with the allroad. So...choices. But, I'm liking the E-Class Estate the most.

Yeah huh..
That should make the Avant super sexy for sure.
It's just that I don't even know what the market value of these wheels are.

Except Bangle was head of design at BMW from 1992-2009 so he was also responsible, directly or not, for the design of the E39 as well.
