e28.

Sounds like someone just wants their dad to get them a more powerful car to show off at school.

To get a good e38 you need to spend 20k plus. (740i/750i sport with low miles)

if you buy a sub 5k 740i or iL, prepare yourself for a high mileage example with high running costs.


When it comes to a 7 series, you get what you pay for.

So I FINALLY convinced my dad to get rid of his 15.5 year old honda accord and get a BMW DD. He has his e46 m3 for sunny weekends, and now he's looking at basically anything to drive daily. His budget (once he sells his car) is around 5k. E36's are basically out cuz he hates those. The two main cars we're (mainly me) looking at are an e39 540i 6-speed or an e38. What do you guys think? For some reason the e39's are much more expensive on average than an e38, why is this (reliability?)?

If I were to basically take it from him and let him drive my e30, I'd love an e38. I really want one idk why.

Having never really been in one, the 5-series seems to be pointless to me on paper. I'd rather not have a mix of luxury and sports, just go for one (1,3) or the other (7) imo.

I love my e30 but... :eeek:
