So the MSRP of a base 7-series in 1995 was $65, 900. In 2019 dollars, that's over $112k. If the car is mechanically sound and still in good condition, I say hell yes, $15k is a great deal. Plus, it's a great-looking car.

Hoovie drives up to the Wizard's shop in a BMW

Wizard : *"You shall not pass!"*

The good thing about getting a new BMW is the privilege of testing out the whole fleet as courtesy cars while yours is in the shop.

That's a damn fine BMW 7-series...and all the pixels on the dash work too!

I like it, buddy. It pisses me off when people moan about the cost of a vehicle and its repairs beyond its value. I pay the repairs for cars and bikes that aren't worth it because I like the car or bike.
I bought a new bike about ten years ago and I took it to work to show my colleagues after I'd owned it for a few weeks and I'd already put over a thousand miles on it and the first thing one of them said was "Jesus, aren't you worried about the depreciation?"
No. I bought it to ride the damn thing. I didn't buy it so the next owner gets a nice low mileage vehicle. I'm a rider/driver, not an owner.

These are great looking cars. Can't wait to see how it breaks next.

I fell in love with these cars on James Bond 007: Tomorrow Never Dies

Really who wouldn't want the most attractive BMW Sedan ever made, with a V8, in perfect condition, for $15, 000?

[tonybelmonte]

I just bought a 2000 740i. New tires, tagged until November 22, passed smog, no check engine light on, all pixels on dash work, both lighters are still in and work, , original rims, , perfect interior, black on black, quiet and runs perfect.. The back set has never even been used, nothing broken on the interior except front cup holder, no dents, only two good size chips on drivers side, all windows work, beautiful car. 2700 BUCKS!!! SCORE!

That new BMW Grill is ugly!
I would take the older one any day especially if it was paid for. A fully sorted luxury car for $15, 000 that once cost $70000 to $80000 is a bargain.

JR: Your 7-series doesn't have comfort access.
Hoovie: Yeah, but my 7-series runs.

[tsherwoodrzero]

JR: Yours doesn't have comfort access.
Hoovie: My 7-Series runs...
Hoovie Wins.
Flawless Victory

As a fellow 2001 TitanSilber E38 owner, this made my day

I feel like this is a pretty solid long term investment. Epic car, and the legend grows with each passing year.
