I’m waiting around for the start of qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix today and took a look around on Autotrader. It’s difficult to make an impulse purchase with cars since most people don’t have enough cash lying around to show up at a dealer and buy a brand new car. $5k is still a lot of money, but for people who save here and there, it’s not an unreasonable sum to have accessible. Anything cool nearby that you want to buy?

Love this thing - looks pretty decent. Too bad the NA models were down on power compared to Euro models. Love that old 7-series look, though. Is parts availability and pricing good for a car like this?

It’s mid-engined! Again, I don’t know anything about parts availability/pricing and how difficult either of these cars are to work on. My bigger fear is probably the snap-oversteer I’ve read about with these things. Looks so cool, though!

Anything interestingly cheap near you oppos?

I like - is the supercharger addition a common modification on these?

There’s a 1993 740iL near me that’s been reduced to $1106. It’s in great condition, and has 240,000kms, which isn’t too bad for its age.

733 stick shift is on my bucket list, should probably do it soon while they’re still around.

aw11 is pretty easy to work on, parts availability is good. I think only the gen2 had the monster snap oversteer, and they redesigned the suspension in 93 (I think) to reduce it. Source: i owned a 91 for about 3 months before the motor blew up

E28 BMW 528e- $4500

This one is on the high end for a 528, but it’s absolutely pristine condition. That plus the fact that I’m a big E28 fan = very tempting.
