It's so beautiful, but it's going to break...

Looking at this second hand 1995 BMW 740i.

It's gorgeous, but I know these old BMW's cost a fortune to service and replace parts for.

I really want one though :(

if you can not get some kind of deal on old bmw parts do not go for it

i recently saw a AUDI S2 2dr for less than 8000 CAD$. it was exciting until i found out 90% of the parts were not interchangeable with the hatch and there are no audi dealerships in Canada that service this car.

I sad a 750 for between 10 and 12 grand. I can 't think of a cheaper way to own a V12.

.. until it breaks. I hear the old V12s are a weak point, but otherwise old BMWs aren't that bad if they've been taken care of. If you find a good garage they'll keep em going for not too much cashola.

Wow!!! That's really amazing car...:cool:

Not to mention your fuel bill. Thats a V8 isnt it?

Wish I saw this thread a few minutes ago. I'm really looking into an NSX but I'm nervous about future costs.

FWIW, a friend of mine owned a same gen 7 series but sold it off within 6 months. He said maintenance costs weren't worth it.

It is very pretty- in the parking lot in my school there's a forest green one, I end up gawking at it the whole time.

The V12 isn't the problem... the electronic bits are. These things are loaded with transitional tech gizmos, a mix of modern sensors and old-school servos and switches. True story: battery goes bad in a friend's 750iL so he does what anyone would do: pulls it out and replaces it. Apparently it's strictly a dealer R&R, as a systems reset is required. Toasted his door lock system, costing $125 per door plus 8 shop hours: $1200. That was when the car wasn't even 10 years old.
