I must say though....interior fit and finish? It looked great when it was new, but I can't find an E39 whose interior has held up well after all these years. BMW interiors from that era didn't seem built to last.
It all comes down to how it was taken care of. No matter how high quality the interior is, if its not taken care of, it'll get destroyed after 20 years (yes think about it, the e39 is 20 years old now).

My 2004 E53 interior, which shares most elements from the e39, lasted very well, even down to the day i sold it with 130k miles. Granted, the biggest problem were the AC buttons and dead pixels. Easy replacement.
