I am planning on getting a beater to get me around but at least a BMW. I've always loved the 7 and dont mind driving one at all. U think my stock 124s will fit it?

Oh c'mon John, you know damn well if you get another BMW you WILL mod it and then you'll have to find ANOTHER beater

i need a beater too. I was thinking about Stick shift old 325 coupe.
the 7 looks nice and has a comfy ride. also a good idea. as long as it drivable).. the scariest thing is transmission going down or smthg like that

yup...e38. love that look.
The BMW 740i Sport with M Parallel wheels was, IMHO, the best looking 7 Series that has ever been made.
No matter how much you protest, I agree that once you get it, you'll be modding the crap out of it.
