Advice for a new 745i owner?

["Scott Buchanan" <87535is@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I'm curious as to any discussion groups that would focus on the early 
7-series.  A buddy at work just bought an '84 745i with 200K miles and I'd 
like to get him up to speed on the car.  I'll get to see it and drive it in 
the next couple of days I expect.  Now, if I can just figure out how to 
swap engines without him noticing...
Regards,

I highly recommend BIMMER.ORG!!!!  They have discussion groups (message 
board format) for ALL BMW's !!!  I have received more information in a 
timely and courteous manner on there than I have ever dreamed of getting on 
THIS digest.  There is a mechanic by the name of CALLAN that specializes in 
"7"'s and he is not hesitant to personally e-mail you the answers that one 
seeks concerning the usual HVAC and electrical problems. Matter of fact, he 
has set up a site with the diagrams (probably out of the service 
micro-fisch) of the vaccuum and electrical systems.  Seems that almost 
everyone here is a bit self-focused and stuffy.  Hope that I was of 
assistance to your quest.  Perhaps, if we join together to help EVERYONE, 
this digest will flourish and all will profit.

Enjoy Scott - maybe you can find an engine too!
