1998 BMW 7 Series Sedan 740iL 4dr Sedan
Will buy a third 7 Series
 Big B' now has 120,000+ miles on it. It's the second 7 series I've owned. Great ride and performance! Pulled 24.6mpg running at 85 from Denver to KC last winter. Runs 16 -18mpg around town.  No surprises with the owning costs - just budget ~$2500/year.  Still cheaper than a new Honda Civic. A used 7 series is a bargain making up for the maintenance costs.   I'll keep this '98 until the '09 series starts coming off leases in 2012 or thereabouts.
