I await his reply as to an old Beemer being 'good value' with interest  |
I had an E38 735iL Highline, the last of the E38s, got it for $2000 from a customer because it had a toasted alternator
Great car, just too bloody slow and no torque under 4000 RPM, had to use the throttle like a switch, on or off to get it to move with some enthusiasm, it also didn't like cutting circles it'd suck oil into the intake after the hard swing
Wouldn't mind another E38 but with an LS1 and 4L60E from a SS Commodore and normal suspension rather than self levelling crapola, would be perfect without all the bull**** European crap, and it'll be able to cut circles reliably

Love an E32 750iL but I think she's got 350,000km on the clock
Surely there can't be too much drama with the M70 V12, its single overhead cam without too much fancy junk, aside from the factory EMS having two of them cause potato spec 1980s electronics, if you **** that off for something like a Haltech maybe it might start every morning
