I quite fancy getting myself lots of flash for not much cash - I love big, sporty waft-mobiles, with air-con and lots of toys. Does anyone have experience of the last generation 7-series? I mean the one just about to be replaced by the i-drive thingy.

I've seen one advertised, 1997, 145,000 miles, full BMWsh, TV, phone, electric everything, for less than £10k. Are there any serious faults I should look for? Should I bother at all? Most importantly, will it go in my 18' garage?

IPAddis - you can have my 13 year old 525i if you like - 120,000 miles, with, (I kid you not), full service history - latest service this week included new pads and front discs. Paintwork is a bit scratched from the previous disabled driver owner, not a spot of rust etc. etc. Leather, auto box, luvverly! But you'll have to wait till I get my 740 on an R-plate!!

It's been so well cared for, the tool kit is unused, and the first aid kit still sits, unopened, under the front seat!!!
