I am thinking of purchasing a car I have recently found. After my first BMW I am hooked on BMW's. I already own a car (little Honda Accord that is not running ATM) but I think I want this as a side project car.

It gets HORRIBLE gas milleage due to the v12 in it and 300 hp ;) 12 City and 18 Highway lol.

Here is the problem. The rear tranny seal is leaking and that will cost about 300 to fix, I am not sure how long it was driven like that but I am going to check to see if the tranny fluid is burnt. If it is not I'm considering buying it. Why would you guys do?

BTW it is a 1990 750il ($1700)

Dude, if I were you, I'd just wait until you were 18 and can get someone to co-sign for you, and pick up a 2000-ish 3 series. Some of the best handling cars made, aren't pieces of shit, won't drink gas, and are very quick.
No, sorry no.

Agree to disagree. I've never seen so many BMW flamers in one place.

M3's are more expensive and I am 17. I can not get an auto loan. And this car can beat most M3's.
 

  Buy a true M3, a nice E30 you can pick one up for under 3 grand. M3's weren't and aren't built to go fast in a straight line. They are meant to handle and they do that very well especially the E30.


wait 3k wtf for a E30?    

 there 15k minimum here.    

 E36 is about the same price too.


 

 That sucks for you, my friend picked up a mint condition E30 for 3,200 with no rust and 70,000 miles. I don't know who would pay 15K for a car made in the 80's. Even 15K for an E36 is outrageous. Hell you can get an E46 for just alittle over 15K here in the sates.  

   

   

 My friends E30.  

   
 My other friends E36 was 9,000  
 


Im talking about M3, not a bmw fag grocery getter.

I can get a e46 for under 10k here, heck i can get a e30 for under 1k easy but really who gives a fuck.


The first one has a S14 swap and the second one is a traditional M3.

What does it take to get you to understand that I couldn't get an '07 with a perfectly good set of winter tires up a 20% grade hill with a quarter inch of snow on the ground? The only car that I ever driven in thats worse in the snow is my moms Honda Odyssey.

If I can get my Miata, which weights not quite 2,000lbs, up a snow covered hill without snow tires, then you really have to suck ass.

You're honestly the biggest dipshit driver I've ever read about.

Anyone can drive ANY car in the snow, it's a matter of throttle control and proper brake control..

I drove a 2 and a half ton suburban on bald ass tires in the snow and it was fine until I goosed the throttle and it got all sorts of sideways.

pic fucking related..

Rofl, even funnier is you failed with a heavy FWD(probabaly the most stable on snow next to AWD) even worse.
