E38 730i has a 3.0 liter V8, but a 728i and 528i would cost the same to maintain.
Or a 740i and 540i, or 730d and 530d.
E39 and E38 are mechanically almost identical.
e46 is slightly different but the upkeep costs would still be similar.
How bad of an idea would it be to get a 728i as a runabout?

730d is best of both worlds t bh. low maintenance, low fuel consumption, decent power (~240hp, plenty torque with a simple ecu tune)

Shame desu, though I guess it's because back then a diesel in a luxury car was seen as uncouth.
