#1294 of 1312 Interested in buying a 2006 750Li by reji007 Sep 03, 2008 (5:36 pm)
So after many years of leasing new cars, I'm finally considering buying a car. My current Infiniti M35x is coming off of lease and after quite a bit of looking, I am unable to find a comparable lease deal to what I had (looked at a number of luxury vehicles).   I really like the interior and exterior of the 2006 BMW 750Li/750i (and after doing some research, this seems like a great car to purchase) and I've gone to BWM dealerships as well as "luxury used car" dealerships. Cars that I've seen have anywhere from 27K to 42K miles and range in price from $36,000-$47,000.   Now I understand that buying a CPO from BMW gives me a) 3.9% financing and b) a 6 year/100K warranty. But some of these luxury used car dealership have considerably lower prices (sometimes over $5,000 difference for comparable cars) and talking to some of these non-BMW dealerships, I've been told that a) the BMW factory warranty (including free maintenance) to 4 years/50K miles still applies and b) I can purchase extended bumper-to-bumper warranties for about $2K or so (that have 0 deductibles) and that these would give me 4 years/50K miles bumper-to-bumper protection from the date of purchase.   I have a few questions:   1) Is buying a BMW 7 series from a non-BMW dealer something that people have experienced/suggest? 2) Has anyone had experience with these third party bumper-to-bumper warranty companies?   Any and all help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. I just got my car today and I can't figure out how to connect my ipod to it. Do I just purchase a cable that fits into the jack for audio playback in the center console? Please help.   Thanks

#1299 of 1312 What goes wrong on a 7 series between 100K - 250K by techman41973 Oct 21, 2008 (9:37 pm)
I am considering purchasing a 97 740I with 155K. I am concerned with reliability and how much money I would need to dump into the car for repairs over time. I would appreciate to hear your repair experiences from 100K-250K for the 95-01 7-series generation.

#1302 of 1312 Preparing for a 2000 740i Test Drive by bgcolo Oct 31, 2008 (5:42 pm)
First thanks in advance for any advice you may have on test driving this car. I am a pretty particular when it comes to cars, and I truly have fallen in love with this beauty. 96k miles and I am thinking very well priced at 11k. Impeccable condition and this guy has spent his share at the dealership. Aside from the regular maint, he has replaced the PS pump and hoses, Wiper motor, Front brakes, Tires, Radiator hoses, Water pump.... I am looking for some advice in specifically what to pay attention to when I am out with it. Please Advise Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 31, 2008 7:00 pm)

Replying to: bgcolo (Oct 31, 2008 5:42 pm) In terms of a test drive I think if I were you I'd spend the time to work every switch, lever or gadget in the car, either before, after or during the test drive. That would include all the windows, trunk latch, hood latch, cruise control, radio, AC/Heat controls, power seats both sides, etc. And pay attention for any warning lights--some are not too visible in daylight.
