I know they've depreciated in value a bit since I bought mine in Sept of '13, which is all fine, but I've spent more than that just in parts. I never plan on selling it but I'm just worried about other drivers hitting it and not getting enough money to get another one that's in good mechanical shape. Hopefully it never has to happen.

    Thanks for your info ARMiller1. I'm sure it was tough to part with two 7ers but I'm glad you found one you really like again.

    May have been me. Had a tree branch fall on my roof. Geico said my '98 with 215k is worth less than 3k. How sad. It's in much better shape than that and provides far more utility to me. Makes me wonder if collision is even worth it. Fortunately comprehensive covered the repair as it was just below the total threshold of ~$2200.

    Anthony - Congrats from this sporty-shorty and fellow Chicagoan and LaSalle-dad. I just returned from a quick overnight trip to Indianapolis and couldn't be happier with how the car performed in the cold. Glad you are staying with the E38. They are great cars.

    Hey! I didn’t know you were on here. Maybe you told me last time we chatted in the fall. I know we were pretty preoccupied keeping track of the kids.

    I’m glad I was able to bring it back into the BMW community. I’ll have it at pickup today at school
