5 series replacement, 1999 Jaguar XJ8 4.0 V8

Welcome

Due to an accident last week it looks like my 525i is going to be written off.

I do plan to get another BMW in the future but at the moment im driving a 1999 Jag XJ8 4.0, it was a toss up between the Jag and a E38 740i and I couldnt find a BMW local to me.

Welcome to the forum, sounds like you got a bargain there, seen lots of E36's do well over 200k.

Very nice, can't go wrong with red leather interior.

As Daz said could just be a fuse hopefully, not sure if the 7 series has similar issues as the 5 series like the fsr (final stage resistor) which can affect the heater system.

Im not that familiar with your engine but I know the M54 engines sometimes have cooling system issues.

Probably a good idea to replace the radiator hoses at the same time as a preventative measure as these can split after a few years.

Its always good to be an optimist, welcome aboard and get some pics up when you can :D

Welcome to the forum Ross, hope you enjoy the new car I've heard a lot of good things about the 135i.

Did you order it with the 8 speed auto?

Although you say its just been serviced its best to check the air filter for yourself as it wouldn't put much faith it them changing it, also check the egr to see if it needs a good clean and get the fault codes checked for peace of mind as a faulty thermostat will reduce mpg.

New F30 sounds good, are you getting it with the awesome 8 speed auto?

Welcome to the forum, not sure if the E36 M3 has reached 'modern classic' status yet but its certainly becoming a sought after model especially one's with low mileage.
