Have been driving a 95 540 6 speed (yes, still have original engine) since 1997--and ready for a change---this car has eaten me up on repairs----otherwise it is a super automobile----but am ready for a change----looking to spend in the area of $35K---my shop tells me to get a 528--but am intrigued with a 7 series---to get something different than the 5 er------Any advice would be appreciated----I don't want to repeat my 540 experience and therefore am gun shy on a 740-----Tks Dave S
