After 2+ months, I finally got the 745i back on the road. I need to get a new shift cable but otherwise its basically back to normal. Hopefully I can focus on fixing stuff instead of breaking more stuff to add to the fix it list.

They are actually E63 style 118's. I'm going to replace them with some style 37 M sports as soon as I can fork over the cash for a good set.

I like the look of those newer wheels on an older BMW

That would look killer on some style 20/21 m-system wheels

If I had 17's already I would totally do it, but these tires are to expensive to ditch.

Glad to hear it, last I heard/read you had successfully drove the car long-distance upon purchase. Still haven't gotten around to getting new wheels I see but I can understand why: they'd be the last or one of the last things you've done.
Are you intending to use this as a DD? I'm sorely tempted to get into a W124 for similar reasons for you wanting that big old 7, but a 20-25 year old car, no matter how well made or well-cared for, is scaring me off.
Do you do most of your own wrenching or are you taking to an indy shop?

I drove the car 4 1/2 hours back from maryland. I was going to use it as a winter DD when the roads were clear, and I did, until the trans blew. My brother and I swapped a new trans in ourselves. I dont know of any shop around here that would even begin to know how to work on this thing, and labor would be out the ass.

That's what I figured, unless you're moneybags, you really need to do much of the work yourself.
