isis 16 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 they have lots more electronic gizmos and can be quite costly to maintain when parts start failing. if you have issues buying a new radiator for the e34, i'd stay away from one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 I wouldn’t think there would be too much between them TBH, the 728i has lots of weight and very little power so you would need to keep on the gas a lot longer. Just my thoughts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
