Hi all,
Considering your replies I think the best choice for me would be a 728i manual with BMW Garantie.
I don't need a car everyday and I will only drive on week-ends and holidyas so I would keep a manual gear (but I agree that if you drive every day around Paris you NEED an automatic transmission).
I won't go for the 740i for the time being as the price will be to high for a good car (with BMW Garantie and under 150000kms). Sure performance with the 728i won't be as good as with the 944 turbo, but it may be better! I lost control with the Porsche and I crashed it :( ... Sport cars aren't for me!!
I'll go step by step, first a 728 then after a few years a V8 or... a v12!
I've heard about the sulfur problems on engines but not in Germany nor in France. Anyway with good servicing a BMW 7 seems to be very reliable.
For the navi system, I realize now that trying to fit my Blaupunkt would be a nightmare (certainly not compatible with steering wheel commands and CD-changer). Unfortunately, in France not that many 728i have a BMW navi system fitted (easier to find on 740i/d and 750i or on less-than-2-year car)... I'll have to forget it.
The car I was thinking about may be a good one (BMW Dealer, Garantie...) but I'm not sure it's still available and I may not have the money ready before the end of the month.
Really hope you could see "akt. Fahrzeug: '98 728i" soon on my profile
Many thanks for your replies.
