Hi guys, I'm looking at a 2001 728i sport this Sunday.

The advert looks great and the seller seems to know their E38s. I've owned a couple of earlier model BMws (E36 M3 and E34 520i) but never had any experience with these.

Is there anything to look out for in particular with these cars/ this model?

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Leaky fuel tank - well documented E38 problem.

Coolant system, suspension bushes, rust.
