Ah.. the white stretched limo. No longer the preserve of the millionaire and the guy from Airwolf with the eye patch.*  No. Now the preferred mode of transport for the pre pubescent teen on prom night, and working class scum on their way to Magaluf.

Yh get a 7, then you'll look propa gangsta!  :tongue:

Seriously though, try and find a sport spec E38 and you'll have a very cool car!

Loved them in that very light blue colour with the blue tint to the windows, looks ace!

Perfect surely? Can't find one in the lovely light colour however.

Have to agree with the above. A good friend of mine has a 735i and still to this day it oozes quality inside and the drive is just sublime  :cool:

Rule No1 in buying big German cars, never buy a manual!
Autos only, why does everyone think you can only have fun in a manual  :huh:

auto boxes are only crap when you don't have enough power.   

750i  drives just fine with an auto box  i'd proably one of the few cars id worry more about owning a manual one,  i bet they didn't make meany manual ones and it'd proably need a clutch  i bet that would rape the wallet.   and haveing worked on them before i woouldn't be first in line to fit a clutch
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
