Oh man, I wish. I'm considering a SWB version as my next car, but that is a few years away.

When I first bought it, the valve stem seals failed and needed replacement. Besides that, the crummy fuel mileage, and the blasted alternator bracket gasket, it’s a wonderful motor.

I’ll never own another 7-series.
