They are known for cracked intake manifolds, lots of coolant leaks, and expensive electronic bits.

The depreciation in value on them is huge to if you buy new.


typical german car.... when we had cash for clunkers, people were trading in 7series BMW's, its very weird to go to the junkyard and see MINT 2003+ 740's, more than one.... but to go from $100,000 to $3500 in like 5 years? not even GM could do that.....

I dunno what I'm talking about my truck is a 2004 and I only have 35,000 miles on it. It's going to be a long time before I am looking for a new truck.
