Ive had 2 735is- 91&92 and both cars were a joy to put $$$ in. they mostly have an upscale quality to the ride after you do things to them.--- always feels good to me... and felt better when things were fixed. I had a 99 528i spts package for a year-- It costs less to keep this e32--92 goin good for less than a lease payment and is a better ride.
Also - think of a 91 upsacale american or Japanese car with 100k miles. what would it cost to keep it driving like new? ( even when new the ride was soso compared to a 7 series smiles per mile)
Im toying with gettin an 750 having talked myself into that ,If I get a newer one itll cost less to keep goin (HAHATeeHee)


My opinion on the cost of ownership is this. I bought my car with my little savings and I have the title with no car payments. My Expedition cost close to $500 per month just to own then if something goes wrong that figure just went thru the roof. So I compare what a lease or a payment would cost for a 97 or newer 5 series per month ($700-$1000). I just smile and roll on cause I got a primo car for a 1/3 of the price.So if my 7 is down I can take my time fixing it.
