My brother had a 1998 540 v8, think it was the 4.4.  Went pretty well, not massively quick, but no slowcoach either.  Obviously a big heavy car with a big engine up front will hurt economy, but it has a decent sized tank for decent range.

the sort of thing ill be looking replace my elite with in 5 or so years time, when there are no more migs left. A massive spec exec car, if you can find a low mileage one in couple of years time then maybe, but for me that particlar one has to may miles, trouble is half that mileage will be double the price. Doh! Also a mate has a bmw 350d touring, its getting to about 120k now, things just starting to go wrong, he says the forum is full of posts of stuff wearing out after that magic number!

How much? I'd better not show it my brother. He's recently bought a new-ish 3 litre diesel 7 series, he has his own plate on so I don't exactly know how old. he paid £46000!

Tidy car.   :y

Seem to recognise the background/picture style though....  

What was the Michael E. Mouse company that were punting duffer Omegas some months ago with exorbitant maintenance and condition claims??

Hmm... I'd take off my rose tints and realise why it was selling for  what the wheels and tyres option cost. ;)
Sorry I don't mean to offend , but it's ugly too..........

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the 7series either (nor any modern BMW) looks bloated to me. Give me a mid-80's 7 series (or better still an M635CSi :-*) any day.
