If you couldn't afford the car new, you certainly can't afford it used.

Great car, cheap to maintain, easy for a DIY mechanic, too.

I know they are appealing because they were $80k new and can be had for close to $10k now used. Look elsewhere. Nice 2 or 3 year old Accord for similar money maybe. |

I worked for BMW for 19yrs.......RUN THE FUCK AWAY from a 745i/li.
The 750i/li E65/66 was a much better car but if someone gave me an E65/66, I wouldn't even drive it, I'd sell it before some fucking light in the dash came on. |

Because most with this feature have shorted the wiring and burned to the ground.

Nothing to add beyond the fact that I see quite a few late BMW 7 series cars in various stages of LS swappage on the LS boards I frequent.
I'm sure there's no logical reason for that though |
