Been on the hunt for a daily driver and something big enough for me and the kids and the wife to go on mini trips and didn't want a SUV , and wanted something on the luxury side as my ass is getting a lil old lol , also I wanted something I could pay cash for as I didn't want a car note, so my search is finally over, I broke down and bought this 2006 BMW 750LI

Nice, I loved mine, I even had the same Asanti Rims, but my BMW had too many problems and BMW bought it back from me after 2.5 years.

Thank you ,Fortunately this 750 LI has a 4.4 v8 which has plenty of power, not that I bought this for the power , but it's there if I need it. V12 has not been used for yrs in the 750 bmw.

Super SUPER clean Daniel, congrats! Hopefully it will be reliable for you, because I know that "Bimmer Tax" can be hefty on the repairs! I like the rims btw!

if that car qualifies, i would get mechanical breakdown insurance ( http://youtu.be/aX9NuE8dQxc )

it saved me from a waterpump going out that would of been 800 plus to replace, but i only ended up paying about 100 out of pocket. this is when i bought a used 04 545i a while ago.

as soon as i got that problem fixed, i traded that ish in for an american car.
