1988 750iL |
|
|
Hi all,
I'm looking at a 1998 750 IL with just over 66K. I'm wondering what types of
experiences have been had and opinions have been learned from this
potentially fabulous vehicle.
It seems to be written up as to be an absolutely amazing car in all of the
materials I've read. It's an incredibly good deal, below dealer price
because it's been on the lot for 4 months (maybe because it's green, maybe
not). They have all the records. I've driven it at it seems fine. But,
consumer reports says that the '97 - '99 7 series is one to avoid.
What do you all think?
Thanks in advance,
Greg s

I'd be inclined to bank an amount equal to the purchase price to cover
maintenance and repairs. NOTHING you will have to do on this car will be
cheap. NOTHING you will have to do on this car will be expensive. IT WILL
ALL BE VERY EXPENSIVE.
If you are interested in simply EXPENSIVE repairs, buy an 8 cylinder
7series. 12 cylinder is definitely not going to be an incredibly good deal
after you've started buying parts and service.
Do it yourselfer? Not a likely candidate you're looking at.

There you have it, in a nutshell. What more information could you
*possibly* need?

Quick, run! Don't look back. Forget you ever saw it.
That car is well known as an "area in the space/time continuum into which
you throw money".
You'll be much happier. Go get something more reliable and cheaper to
repair, like a well thrashed E46 M3 with no warranty.

Sounds like the 635i that you previously asked about is a no brainer in
comparison to this monster. The 6cyl, 635i is a relatively simple machine in
comparison to this and a much more reliable machine too. I don't know why
anyone would need / want a 12 cyl car except for bragging rights which are
useless and stupid IMHO.
