[bmw] Re:

I was looking at a few of those cars myself and did read some stuff
about the V8's. It has something to do with the difference between fuel
in europe and the US. The engine wears out fast over time. BMW did
replace some engines and if you check the web there is a method of
determining if the engine is a problematic one or not. I was looking
for a big german sedan. When I researched all the problems that the
early model v8 7 series had I started looking at S Class Mercedes
Benzes. While the Mercedes are a little more expensive they are rock
solid especially when compared to the 7 of the same vintage. Slightly
more spartan but the S Class of that vintage is known as one of the
finest Mercedes of the 20th century.
Perhaps you might want a 1990 560SEL to "contrast" your 750il.

Hello all,
I am considering buying a 94 740il and would appreciate any tips to look
for. This will be in addition to my current 90 750il which I enjoy
considerably. Is it true that the V-8 had some factory problems early
on? Also did BMW fix the climate control vent problem that was so
prevelent on the earlier models? Any tips would be greatly appreciated
and any.."What to look out for" advise would be invaluable. I know
that if this group doesn't know about it.....it probably doesn't matter.
Thanks in advance,
Kenneth Carey
