Link one is the same. Not as clean, beige interior, cheaper.

"If" you'll be able to afford the maintenance on the BMW I'd say opt for the 740

Maintenance and all around over priced junk cars IMO.Get a mustang and call it a day!

Im not sure that a mustang is an option right now. Especially cause of insurance. I have a reckless driving and exabition of speed within a week of eachother. A turn lane for passing violation, prvisional with passengers, an 85 in a 50.

Get a 4 cylnder like an Accord or something that. Of course it wont be the nicest car on the block but it will give you low insurance, good gas milage, last you a while, parts are cheap for the most part, and if you buy right you can get what you paid IMO, plus you said you need to lay low for a while.

I would not consider a BMW low key car even if it is dated. I would consider not driving at all or getting a small pickup truck, civic, accord and the like.

Avoid BMW 7series like an STD. A friend's parents bought one new back in 2004 and sold it within a year because they were tired of taking it in for stuff that kept breaking.

BTW, they bought it because their prior car, which was also a BMW, threw a rod while they were in Reno

If you want low key (but still fast) you should look into one of these

agreed. Don't waste your money on a BMW, unless you want to be a shitty driver and piss everyone off when you either cut them off or drive too damn slow

although its cool to tell your friends you drive a BMW, do you realize what happens when something breaks on those cars???

Your bank account GETS RAPED!!!

With almost 200K miles on the clock, shit is going to start to need replacing if it hasn't already.

Ever heard the following...

Just because you can afford to buy a __________ does not mean you can afford to own a __________

Insert "BMW"

Thanks for the ideas guys. But I also want something nice. I was thinking of a 7 series cause they are nice cars with a little get up and go yet when you see one you figure its a 55 year old man in the drivers seat.

No offense but the last thing you need is something "with a little get up". Look at your driving record!

As long as its faster then a crown vic. I aint getting caught again.

Ford Ranger They are cheap, reliable, and very useful for haulin' shit. They are pretty slow so you won't be tempted to fuck around. Cops will never even look twice at you

EDIT: If you are lookin' for something nice then get a Lexus. They will last forever.

+1 - Cops don't even look at my ranger no matter how fast I drive and th mileage really isn't that bad. The Hummer and the Cobra, well

no on the 740 way to many things can wrong with that one an parts are not cheap at all, if you want a nice BMW just get an E36 325i or 325is, their nice easy to maintain and affordable just don't get a 318 since their known for having head gasket issues, I own a 325i never given me any problems and it never gets any attention from the cops, or you can always go with a lexus sc300/sc400/gs300/gs400.
