Not a single one of the tires are the same size.

There are three different brands of tires on this car

On a better note, other than struts, everything on the front end is in better condition than my 740il. Center tie rod looks nearly new. All bushings look okay. Lower control arm looks to be the oldest piece, and it doesn't even look terrible. Brakes on the front are nearly new, so it must be the rear that are squeaking and have worn through the sensor. I'm pretty thrilled with this purchase, overall, the car is in pretty good condition. It just needs some love

Use same wheels at leas on the rear axle, or it can kill the differential ,
...
with all that problems with 750 you better start making 8-10k a month

Lol. You look like the lead singer of Rage Against the Machine.
I'm gonna start keeping a lookout for Orient Blue partouts, while I would love to repaint the car and get the dings out, being completely realistic, I'm gonna have to settle for replacing the passenger door and both bumpers, and giving the entire car a good wetsand and polish.

Alright, so I have an incredibly loud squeaking coming from the engine engine bay. Seems to be coming from the distributors. From what I can tell, it's more from the driver side, but there is some from both. I'll pop those open asap and check for play. Are the bearings replaceable, or are we looking at a whole new unit?

I'm gonna try to go sort of OEM+. I like the steering wheel, but I would miss the heater in it way too much to even put a sport wheel in it. My plan at the moment is to try and find some Canyon Brown dye to match one of the newer BMW colors. I plan on doing center console, lower dash, and seats to start with, leaving everything else black, and I might do black alcantara on headliner, pillars, and setbacks, but that is $$$. If that turns out well, I might do some of the leather on the doors in the brown as well. For the trim, I have some badly cracked e39 trim lying around, I want to see if I can strip the clear off that and stain it black. If results are sub-par, I will just go gloss black on the trim.

Seems the passenger rear wheel bearing is shot. I think I might pull the whole rear apart on my 740il, rebuild that, and then transfer it over to the 750il so I have minimal time with it out of service.

Unless your 740iL has SLS, there might be some differences.
The sls will be leaving my 750il shortly, I will run through realoem to check PNs, but I think most things should be the same

Main things to fix right now are rear suspension, distributor seals, and tires
Tires, I have a few options, none of them are good.
I have a set of 15s with good tires, which obviously don't fit
I have the 16s that came with the car, but all mismatched tires
I have the 16s from my 740il, but they are badly flat spotted from my accident
I have 18s with bad tires, and 74.1 center
I have 18s that I need to finish refinishing, and I have a set of good tires for those
I have a couple assorted 16s from my e39
So out of all that, I don't have a single good set of wheels and tires at the moment :/
I'm running the flat spotted tires right now, which is fine because my I don't go over 50 going to work, but over 60 they are a nightmare. Considering buying snow tires while they are fairly cheap and running those until my 18s are done, at least they will be round
