Welcome to the forums. I'm guessing by your username that the other car you're saving up for is some sort of GM with an LS1.

Fun car, and a real shame it never sold very well during those years. You'll get one for a heck of a price, enjoy.

Welcome, good luck shopping.

[TylerLS1]

can you guys give me any helpful info on the 740iL, is it a really big car?
is it something that is fun to drive?

again, idk much about these cars.

thanks

The 740iL is a very large car and wouldn't be considered a "sporty" car. It was designed to move people in a very roomy, luxurious and safe car at fast speeds down the Autobahn. Be warned, a 7-series can become a VERY expensive car to own if it hasn't been well taken care of.

what a bout a 1996 328i?

[windnsea00]

The 328i is rather reasonable on the wallet if it has been maintained and can be turned into a pretty fun driving car with a proper suspension and other goodies. BMW engines are very robust and take a lot of beatings while giving back a long life, it can just be the little electronics things that fail over time that get annoying.

It probably has the sport package (wheels, suspension, and seats). Is it 5-spd? Miles are pretty low and it would make a fine daily driver. I would take it to a BMW specialist to get it inspected for the cooling system, suspension, drivetrain, etc. to make sure it's in good shape.

any ides on this one? too many miles?

[windnsea00]

Miles aren't as much of an issue as has it been taken care of and what does it currently need. You can only do so much over the internet so I would drive the cars and have them inspected by a real BMW nut that knows them like the back of his hand.
