My TypeS replacement, pics inside...
Whiteangel just hit 45k and after the maintance Im gonna have to let her go cause of the tranny/brakes issues I don't want to deal with.

http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/v...lor=&cardist=0
So after looking at the 03 E320, 01 E55AMG,99 911 C2,02 BoxterS,02Audi A6,02 540i Sports pkg, 01 740iL sports package,FX45,Murano,G35,350Z
I decided to go w/ this :
2001 740iL Biarritz Blue 23k with EVERYTHING and an additional 100k 7 year warranty from TODAY!
Blue carpet/dash, shades, sports package (a must if you've drivien the 740i or 740iL w/out it you'll know why) conv package, blah blah. the rear seat is sooo fucken big it got foot rest
I originally went to the dealer 'Select auto imports' which is one of the hghest wholesalers on the east coast for (mb,bmw... ) german cars which happens to be 2 miles from my house and work, to 'take a look' at the 03 E320 they had. The one I checked out didn't have the panorama roof so I was about to leave when I see the fucken 740iL straight up gangsta SCREAMING for a testdrive. I drove it , at first thought it was huge but after about 2 min I loved it. It took one of the highway ramps I take to go to work and chewed it up and spit it back out begging for more. OMFG im in love. So merge on the highway (btw, i've driven AC's dinan 5 540 so I know this thing balls out) press the gas and 'ding' the speed limit reminder reminds me i've already hit 100mph JUST MERGING on to the highway. It was sunny as hell outside around 5:00pm but the 7 has infared coated front windsheild which reduces glare and the sunlight. after crusing on the highway for a while making highspeed lane changes I took it to the the construction area (mixing bowl project) to test the suspension cuase they have rumbleblocks. abso fucken lootly loved the ride, esp with the electronic dampening control.
I finally bring it back to the dealer and we talk price. I immed. knew I was about to buy this on impulse so I watched my self. After haggling for about 3 hours, (until they close) I walked away with a decent price and promised to return the next day. Yesturday was the last day of the month so I know dealers are pressing to get rid of cars, I go to 3 bmw dealers and they all have 740il or 740i 's w/ no sports package, after driving them my mind was SET on the 740iL w/ sports package. I return to the original dealer again to negociate a price. and then walked out again. by now they FUCKEN HATE ME and LOVE ME at the same time cause they KNOW im gonna get it and they KNOW I won't settle for a price. (everyone remeber when I camped out @ the honda dealer when I got my 01 civic LX (12 fucken hours for 2g's off a car heheh) Mean while this guy is telling me has someone buying the car over the net and the check is already there from fedex, and that he has to ship the car by 5:00pm. So of course I go back to my rental solara park it RIGHT infront of the dealer and wait from 4:45 ~ 5:45pm. NO deliver car !! haha so I make sure they see me, see this and I LEAVE. I come back again this time 1 hour prior to closing. Now everyone at the dealer knows me by NAME and the OWNER of the dealer comes out this time. He takes me to his office and shows me their list price on the car.
"Take it for 1000 above the list price or get out of my office and lets just be friends, come back when your ready"
I shake his hand and the deal is sealed. hehe went straight to the top.
Anyways I do all the paper work and Im out with a pretty decent price.
Man im gonna miss WhiteAngel and the sweet noise of vtec...

Nova with all due respect I love the bimmer but if your problem was the tranny and brakes should of done what I did 6 speed and Brembo. I don't know how fast the Bimmer is but is it that much faster than the CL-S 6 speed and brake better with the Brembo's. I love Bimmer and I will get that when Im 40 but for now party on 
not only that but for that money you could of gotten a S/C also with a custom audio/video system that you would of surely enjoyed more....but then again you will look like the BOSS driving that thing around.
Good luck

Very nice, but why did you tell us everything but the price ??? 
The place where I used to work the owner drove one of those.
I got to ride in the back several times.
There must be some fine print on that 100K warranty. I would expect something like that to have a large deductible or only cover the major parts…NO ???
