Hello all,
Over the last 7 years ive turned into a complete bimmer nut!!.. So now its time to change my Current E34 540i m6 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/E34-BMW-540i-V8-Sport-6-Speed-Manual-1995-M5-M3-Beater_W0QQitemZ160279145463QQcmdZViewItem?hash=it em160279145463&_trkparms=39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A7|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/E34-BMW-540i-V8-Sport-6-Speed-Manual-1995-M5-M3-Beater_W0QQitemZ160279145463QQcmdZViewItem?hash=it em160279145463&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A7%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14))
for something a little less racy and more comfortable for the long Autobahn journeys!! So an E38 seems like the obvious choice.
Problem is i what the best one i can afford, 2001 M-sport 740i individual! and im struggling to find the right one with full spec, right colour combo, must be a dark colour not green/red and no beige leather for me thankyou! Cream is ok!
Basically im looking at a Orient Blue 740i and a Purple 728i individual similar prices, but the 728 is the slightly better car. Will i be disappointed with the lack of power especially if i want to cruise at 120ish with a straight 6?
Can anybody help with figures, spec, faults, what to look for, etc.
You help and advice, as always is hugely appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve
