if maintenance isnt issue then get 740. id personally get a 3 series. they are really reliable and parts arent taht much.

maintenance is definately not an issue but im willing to spend a couple extra k to get one in perfect shape tho as for the 3 its not comfortable enough for me and everybody has 1 :dunno: i like to be a little different a 740il black/black with 22s is strictly for pimpin :bow:

We had a 98 740il, it ran really well up to about 120K miles, so if you could find something around 100K i think you would be in good shape.

Something in the transmission, would make noises at a low RPM constant speed. Car Started to smell like gas, and the enging started to run rough after 130K or so. I ca get more details from my dad if you want?

yea i know i can fix it myself but i would still like to know beforehand
What the F are you people talking about?
Gus, find an e34 M5, if you can. I'd suggest that over any other ride..

but isnt an E34 M5 roughly the same size as an E46 3-Series?

but isnt an E34 M5 roughly the same size as an E46 3-Series?no not even close my e34 is very comfortable compared to e46 i can fit 4 people with me driving with no problem i cant do that in a e46 but yea i like the e34 m5 idea as well but i cant find any for sale locally i found 1 like 5 months ago black/black for 10k in california but at that time i wasnt looking to buy 1 :dunno: now i cant find any
Well keep looking dammit.

after thinking about it the 740il is a better choice for me because if i get a m5 i will find myself beating on it everytime i drive it and i dont wanna do that to my daily driver in the 740 imma just have the urge to pimp and once my e34 is done and i get that itch ill drive that around that day :alright:
