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?

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

John, you have impeccable taste.

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.

My thoughts exactly, and then it's 2 BMW's eating you out of house and home, while you look for yet another "Beater"!!
