Good Luck!
I now see that it was a 735 with more leather, bells and whistles. I'd imagine electrical gremlins could get interesting. Not a bad looking car though. That said, I really don't need it so I'm not going to look much further for positive info. on one. It's just sitting there, calling my name...
