I badly want one of these as a daily, at least for a while. Gotta be a sport, the seats are great, and the m-parallels and shadowline look so much better. This one is almost ideal, actually. The only problem is that it’s a VANOS engine. The best would be pre-facelift, pre-VANOS M62, Sport trim. This one’s close enough I think....

A cheap purchase cost on a BMW only means you’ll probably spend more later.

I really want to like the LS400 more than I do, but I’m quite bored by them

Quite possibly, but not necessarily. The weak point on these is the timing chain guides like with almost every German V8. Once those are replaced, they’re really solid. Just gotta keep on top of the cooling system. Between my friends and I, we’ve had 5 BMWs with M60s/M62s, and they’ve all been much better than they get credit for.

I also doubt they have the same bizarrely good handling as the E38s do

Toyota makes the best cars. Maybe the boredom is from waiting for it to break but it never does, and you miss out on all those roadside attractions! :p

Bilstein makes shocks for the 95-00 LS400, and you can even get high performance summer tires for it too :)

I would totally daily a black (or that really dark burgundy they had, or dark blue) pre-facelift e38

My uncle has had that exact car from new, he is loaded but he hasn’t bought another car since that one. My aunt always gets a new X5.

They’re kind of perfect cars
