E34's FOREVER! (Was: Do I have an E34 or E39?)

You have an E34, and a great one at that!
There is considerable discussion about whether the E39 is a worthy
successor to the E34. The jury is still out. Many people, myself
included, think the E39's styling is boring (at best) and the initial
quality seems to be well below that of the bulletproof E34 standard.
So keep your E34 and enjoy! Mine's a '90 535i 5-speed manual. I've
put over 190,000 miles on it since new, and it still looks and drives
great.
