Piston Slap: Blinded by the E39 Wagon's Light?

Sajeev,
Really enjoy Piston Slap and could use some help working through this problem:
I am an expat working in Europe. I brought one car from the US with me and picked up a 1997 BMW 528i Touring (5 speed) here. I just found out that I will be transferred back to the US next year and have to make a car decision pretty soon. I really like 528iT and would like to take it back with us, but it seems that the cost to self-import the Bimmer to the US is about equal to what I paid for it (and its a little long in the tooth). I really like the combination of the Touring’s performance and carrying space and am trying to decide what to buy next. The short list is:
- Find another E39 Touring in the US (hopefully with a manual and a little newer)
- E61 Touring (but am concerned with reliability)
- 2003 745i
