Contrary to popular opinion, I find these beautiful.

Reliable? Absolutely not.

I rather like them. Beautiful might be over stating it. I think the E60 is Bangle’s best work. A good example of a car that was edgy yet restrained, and has improved with time.

Yea they are still handsome. It was one of my favorite cars as a kid. I still see quite a few on the road that are in impeccable condition. Usually driven by seniors who probably bought them new. Makes sense because if I pay 70-80 grand for a car, you d amn well better believe that i’ll be driving it 15-20 years down the line.

The flip side is that there are a bunch on buy here pay here lots for people with questionable credit to ball on a budget. Who buy em and make them go further down a road of disrepair when they get hit with that $400 repair bill for one window motor, or a $800 battery or any other old German luxury car problem.

Pour one out for this poor, innocent 760Li at a buy here pay here. Most of these left good hands for said owners. What a pity.

“Half”

You’re understating it by a solid 60%.

A 760Li? That’s just madness.

The facelifted version of the E65 7 Series looked good, but I’ve never been convinced by the earlier models. It looks strange at the back, and the headlights look almost as if they’re melting.
