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 
You are like the rest of us, can't leave well enough alone

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.
