Hey everyone I was told to come here from Reddit,
I'm considering buying a 7 series BMW and would love some input from those who might have experience with this car or know more about it. Here are the details:
Make and Model: BMW E38 728i
Year: 2001
Mileage: 166,000ks
Price: $6,500
Condition: Cant really tell from the photos but seller is a car guy so assuming he know whats he's doing
Usage: Wanting to use it from daily driving and driving from Hamilton to Auckland occasionally
I've done some research and found that the engine (M52B28) is known for being fairly reliable compared to the V8/V12s. However, I'm still on the fence as I'm not wanting to it to be a money pit. Would appreciate any firsthand experiences or advice. Plate is DGC277 if anyone wants to carjam it. I have linked to reddit thread if anyone want to see
Are there any common issues I should be aware of?
How's the reliability and maintenance cost?
Is the price reasonable for the condition and mileage?
Any alternatives you would recommend?
Thanks in advance for your help!
