Lino, the Lexus that caught my eye looked very similar to this.

I know a bunch of people that have owned or currantly own 5 and 7 BMW's. They have all been maintaince hogs, but are a blast to drive. I don't like BMW's interiors, so I would probably never buy one. My cousins 02 330CI looks like an Acura inside. If I was looking at a 7 I would look for a 735IL; my friend had one back in highschool. It was a 93 735IL that was a fun car and never really acted up much. Well until the belt broke and took out the $500 radiator. :rolleyes:

I find Lexus to be souless boring cars, they are not my thing. Also parts prices are real high.

With W140's newer is better. 97-99 seems to be the least troublesome. The S500 is fine they just have the active rear suspension the S420/320 are simpler. You can also get much more S320 for your money.

Buy what you want every car has its problems. Buy a 740IL if thats what you want.
