Oh Boy do I know the problems with the 733i as it ages. This last year saw a clutch, heater core, steering pump, blower, a major break job, and all the ball joints and tie rods. I do the work myself--I haven't takled the heater core yet--soon the core is coming from the states so I have to wait until it gets here obviously.

BUT--I love the car. I would not drive anyth8ing else unless I had to. I do drive my car hard, very hard andput on about 700 miles a week--yes a week. So I think it gives me wonderful preformance.

And contrary to popular belief--they are not that hard to fix and in many ways are easier than some american cars that I have worked on if you take the tiem to learn and are not afraid of touching it.

Check blue book value---and then go over the car with a fine tooth comb. Have a friend that has one go with you.
