Left headlight is crystal clear and the right is super hazy... so probably replaced, plus the scuffs allover the bumper and the missing tow hook cover Makes me wonder what mysteries that car is hiding, what fun it has seen!

Post your local 7 series poo poo heap. this one has less miles, costs less, and just needs a speed sensor. Bonus points for temp tags.     e: Assuming you were doing all of your own maintenance how much would it cost you to bring one of these up to snuff? I know it's going to be astronomical based on the horror stories. I'm genuinely curious. Diametunim fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Apr 21, 2020 |

Most of the ones I could find are dealers, but I did find this one. Rebuilt title, great as a dependable college vehicle. And they will even work on it for you

i like that the points of contrast are "its better to buy this seven series than a car that has been in a flood" although i question whether the seven series will be more dependable than a car that has been a flood

Made it 220k miles without completely falling apart, that's pretty good! At least the ad is fairly up front about the car and realistic about the price.

Hey guys let’s not just blanket malign all expensive old 7ers. E38 is a classic and deserves heaps of cash and maintenance. E65 is not (nor ever will be).

Basketcase 20 year old BMW: $1000 1 day in the hospital: $45,000 Seems like a good tradeoff, and this 'little to no rust' suggestion will come as a surprise to roughly 95% of states in the USA

For little to no rust, you have to move to the southern half of the US. For this you either pay the price of exceedingly high cost of living in California, or having to live with the "git r dun" types in all the other states.

And about rust...I'll take pictures of my e30 project when I'm done cleaning and you guys will tell me if its same or worse than US conditions on rust. i grew up in new england, i think it's going to be difficult for you to teach me anything about rust unless you live in a salt mine where it rains all the time

Ether Frenzy posted:Seems like a good tradeoff, and this 'little to no rust' suggestion will come as a surprise to roughly 95% of states in the USA Rust isn't too much of a concern outside of New England or the Midwest rust belt. More people live outside those areas than inside of them. California & Texas alone are huge and largely rust-free, plus the rest of the west coast, south west, south east are all pretty much rust-free. You don't have to live in a frozen salty hell hole to live in the US. Most people don't! The Northwest is full of old BMWs, Volvos, VWs, Subarus, Hondas, and more. Bunch of "normal" folks drive around 20 year old cars as their daily drivers because they keep going. Rust is rarely the killer as much as just sheer age and decades of wear and tear.

this is some extremely idle thinking while spaced out working from home that will probably lead nowhere, but are there any major issues with the M235/M240, manual only, which would warrant caution when looking at newish used ones?

That car scares me already. 1) Hockenheim on red? 2) what the gently caress is up with that shift knob 3) fleet car? Presser? e: Wait do all the manuals get blue stitching in the shift boot? Why is that blue and the rest of the car red? So many questions... Crunchy Black fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Apr 23, 2020 |

Crunchy Black posted:That car scares me already. See that stitching on the steering wheel? It's red & blue because it's an M car's steering wheel, so maybe that was the intended effect? I'm not sure what's supposed to be wrong with the shift knob though, it seems to match the material of the boot.

That is weird. Also, the back bumper isn't even close to the same as the rest of the car. And who buys a car in January, gets a loan for it, and it's on the lot again in 2 months without there being some larger problem / issue?
