E38 728i, yes or no?

I need a cheap comfy barge to drive about in and I'm looking at a 728i, how bad can it be?

I'm after the poverty spec one because I don't feel like paying 90's BMW V8 repair bills and speed isn't particularly important. I'm aware a 2 tonne car with 190bhp will be deathly slow but I don't really care. I just need a comfy car for a year that I don't care too much about because I don't have a garage, if I bought something I cared about I wouldn't be able to sleep

Will the repair bills kill me or not? From what I've read all the major components are shared with the E39 so it can't be too ruinous.. right?

yes, 8.6s to 60 is deadly slow, my ass. I guess you said that to appease the Burger bench racers. it is still quicker than you'd expect from a relatively small engine in a big car.
also, a modern mid size wagon weighs about the same.

go for it but if you're that insecure about your finances you should definitely don't get a big bmw, especially if you life outside europe. prices for 7 parts are sometimes much higher just because they're branded as 7 parts while they're often actually physically similar to 5 or even 3 series parts.

>20yr old bmw
>cheap

buy a civic

LS400 seems right up your alley

if he lives in germoney those are almost impossible to come by

Don't get the eurocuck engine. Get the V12 or don't bother.

Literal definition of a bench racer post.

Nah it just is in the real world. My current car is quoted at 8.7 and it's slow, it's fast enough to have fun with, but it's slow in a straight line.

I heard they were a meme and aren't actually as reliable as people make out, was a counter meme'd?

In UK.

>In UK.

...have fun with insuring that beast and the taxes for it

if you're going to have an expensive to operate vehicle you might as well go for the most special/coolest one.
