Replying to: paisan (Apr 10, 2007 4:42 pm) Are you sure those aftermarket parts meet OEM standards for that car? Well, maybe. I don't really know. But that's 4,300 lbs of automobile you are haulin' down. It's a nice driving car. I'm sure you'll like it. It doesn't feel as big as it is.

Replying to: paisan (Apr 11, 2007 4:42 am) My main concern with "performance" parts is that they work great but they're pretty rough on rotors and pads....

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 11, 2007 7:46 am) HP+ are a bit rough on the rotors, but the HPS pads which are more streetable, are actually less expensive as are non-slotted rotors. It can also be a result of WHEN you did the rotors and pads. As a car ages, especially from 5-10 years old, is when you start to see a lot of rotors and pad replacements become available which brings the prices down significantly. -mike |

I'm looking at a '94 740iL with 144k miles on it. Seems to run great, no problems. But I'm weary of the price, $4,650... am I just getting a really good deal, or is there most likely more to this car than meets the eye? Here's a link to the car BMW

Replying to: 87jeeper (May 25, 2007 4:57 am) CARFAX says the car was originally leased out of Illinois, then lived all its life in Indiana. Records cease in year 2000 with 62,000 miles on the car. So maybe it went out of state or ??? Get a thorough mechanical inspection and see what's what....might be an okay deal for you as long as there are no major items crying for attention. Repairs and deferred maintenance can add up fast on a car like this, so go in with both eyes open and remember, you can always find another at this price if something troubles you about the car.

My 740i is periodically, (every month or so) having the check coolant light go on and I have to add about a pint to top it off for the light to go off. Do you know why this is occurring? It doesn't seem to be getting worse but is an inconvenience. Thanks.

Replying to: scholder (May 30, 2007 1:51 pm) You can get a pressure test (easy to do) to try and spot a small leak...perhaps the coolant reservoir tank has a small seam leak---not uncommmon. MrShiftright Visiting Host |
