[QUOTE="Pkr, post: 737469, member: 45957"] Hi there. I bought an used 2004 E53 3.0i in June this year. Mileage just passed 100k km. Ever since I got until now, I've been repairing it almost once in every 2 weeks. Major repair: gearbox kong in the 3rd month I got it. Workshop suggested and sourced me a good used one. Spent 11k+ on that repair. Front and rear absorbers, half of the arms, water pump replaced. Lighting and sound wiring were messed and now fixed. And just last week, I felt that car wasn't handling well. After checked, front ball joint, steering rack, rear bushings need replacement. This repair job is estimated 6k+. Workshop mentioned that not necessarily to do all things one shot. I've spent almost 30k on repairs and the car still seems will have many problems coming. Thus, I am having a dilemma of whether sell it at this point, or keep maintaining it. If there is this of service exists, I would like to have my car fully dianogsed to see any other parts which will due soon. Do you guys know is this possible for me to do so? I would really love to hear some opinions from you guys. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
