2000 BMW 7 Series Sedan 740i 4dr Sedan
Ultimate Texas Driving Machine - update
 I've now had the car for 30K miles and nearly 3 years.  I still love it.  I bought the car as a certified used unit & during the BMW extended warranty, I've had a new radiator and water pump as well as two oil leaks.  Each time the dealer has promptly repaired the car for a $50 co-pay. New brake pads were my cost ($$$). I replaced the OEM Contintal Contitracs with Kumho Ecsta's and am very pleased with the improved mileage & I can't tell any significant difference in handling, but the car is much quieter.  I hope to drive this car another 60K miles.  The extended warranty expires within a month or so and I may hedge my bets by buying another warranty, based on my experience with the 1993 740
