Anyone else finding themselves wishing the next few months after the purchase away, just because of the legendary threads that are sure to come?
Yup

That sounds very much like the opinion of someone who hasn't seen an M73 in the flesh, let alone worked on one.
To be fair, his 523 ownership thus far has been a non-event; as detailed above.
Yeah, how dare you talk about an e38 in a thread about e38's![]()

As long as it's in MINT condition what's there to worry about?![]()
Put your dad as first driver, your mum as second, and you as third. Insurance will be lower for sure.
The 728i has always stuck me as terribly pointless. Yes, you can get parts more easily and for less money but whilst faults with M52 6 cylinder engines are quite common (Cooling system issues, warped heads, VANOS issues, etc) In all of my years on the interwebs (and my short time working as a mechanic), I have never ever come across a BMW V12 with any major issues
Gotta disagree on the E38 728 being 'pointless because of performance'. Yes it's slow 0-60, but if you're worried about 0-60 runs, I would suggest something Jap and turbo...
Is a 7 series really a car that needs a fast 0-60 time though?
