A cheap 750il might not be such a bargain

Hi,

www.roadfly.com might be a good place to start.

But remember the ditty about them?

No matter how hard
I sweat and toil
I still can't afford
a 750il

They are great fast cruisers when all is right with them, but they have fearsome electrical problems and the 750 engine is not the best of the bunch either, actually they have a reputation as real money pits. Be VERY careful here!!! Parts are not cheap, Their desirability is reflected in their resale.

I think you are well off looking elsewhere, for another sporty quick sedan, unless you buy it for a few laughs, drive it for about a year, don't put anything into it, then sell it, after you had some fun with it

Just my opinion.
