Copped a mint 2001 740 sport a couple days ago. It's like my very own, german engineered, old school box chevy. I'm gonna baby the fukk out this bih :wow:

Already fixed all its minor body issues and replaced all its speakers this morning. Got a 12" sub arriving on monday. Gonna amp the interior speakers and upgrade the stereo at some point, but right now I got a bluetooth transmitter that's working out just fine.

I even fabbed my own rear shade clip from an old metal pantry cabinet that was rusting in my backyard this morning since they're NLA :lolbron:

Gonna drive it until the the plastic timing guide inevitably fails then am going to most likely swap an LSx into it. Either that or an S62 with a 6 speed transmission.

Is the 2012 BMW 740i a bad car?

Price is 10k
Full loaded

149k miles

Carfax shows 2 owners and regular maintenance.

For me it’s a work car and I’d be paying cash.

I’m willing to walk from it cause I don’t need the car.

If you don’t need it and you just want something to stunt in on the weekends, I’d say go for it. I’m loving my 7 and it’s my daily, but I also have a plug on parts and labor at my friend’s shop. They’re known as bmw’s least reliable line, not saying they’re repair prone necessarily, but there is a price to pay when owning one.

appreciate it...I’m really just tryna get out of my challenger and prep that for when my brother graduates college so he doesn’t have to deal with a car note.

My original plan was just get some 08-12 chevy Malibu until something catches my eyes.

I wasn’t for sure if the price was too good to be true and there was some fukkery involved.
:patrice: Here’s a link of the car in question

I'd pass, those miles are too high for a 7yo car. That one has seen about 21k per year, you want to aim for something that's seen around 12k.

I'm picking up a car and a few miles away there's a bmw dealer.

Someone explain to me why the BMW M8 Competition is 159K, the M6 Competition made sense because of it rarity but this isn't even that. :gucci::mjlol:

Man I was looking at an M850i vert at the dealership last week.

Definitely can't afford it, but it had a nikka plotting for a minute.

:dead: at paying over 100k for a car tho.
