I have a 1995 740iL, with 144k miles on it, and I ***LOVE*** it. The E38 (1995-2001) 7 series is a great car, and for ME, it has the perfect combination of luxury and performance without TOO much electronic foo-faw (e.g., I'll probably buy a used 2001 740 Sport when my present car dies, rather than the 745iL). The biggest + for me is the tremendously huge back seat. I'm 6'3", and even with the front seat adjusted for me, I can sit in back and still cross my legs.

My wife, who has a slightly lighter foot than moi, gets around 21 MPG overall, and 25 mpg on the highway. For comparison's sake, that's only about 2-4 mpg worse than the E39 528.

Thank a lot. I keep forgetting the quality difference between this group, and other groups/sites/bb's. Another follow-on question -- is TIS the latest thing that dealers use to work on their cars, or do they have a newer mechanism? Basically, I'd like to get info on my E90, until the service manual is made available.

I drove a 740 sport a few years back during the Komen Drive and it was superb. Roomy, plenty of power, and with the sport setup, a pretty great handling car (low and wide).

Certain tail-lights trigger the laser alarm, etc... In terms of knowing where the units are, on 280, it's very difficult. They're VERY frequent, and sound like a lock-on trigger gun from the cops. My knee jerk reaction would be to slow down immediately. If I start to ignore them, I might as well not have the V1 on at all, which is what I've been doing (and slowing down. It's a very hard life...). I agree that V1 should figure out a way to differentiate. So has anyone written to Mike Valentine? Should I do it? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stan Jackson Jr. Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 8:28 AM To: bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com Subject: Re: [UUC] SF Bay Area (I280) radar I-95 in Connecticut has had a similar system for years. They may have expanded (or possibly eliminated -- that's real likely) the system by now. It would be great if Valentine could find a way to differentiate. There is a definite need for better radar detector software right now. I get false signals from my cell phone, certain car taillights (laser), and other new unexpected things. If you drive I-280 regularly, you will learn where the units are located and get a feel for their signal -- just like any other false alarm. Still annoying, but at least you will hopefully be able to differentiate them from an actual radar gun.

Besides those issues the big cars have always depreciated more rapidly simply due to the demographic of those who would buy them new and never consider a used purchase. That's what makes a used 5 Series a better "deal" than a Three, and a Seven a better deal than either...if that's what you want. -Phil Loves the 740i Sport but couldn't stand driving an automatic. >Lastly, any theories on why the 7 series seems to depreciate so much >(great for me)? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 13:04:25 -0500 From: "Alex Cagann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "BMW List" <bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com> Subject: <2002 M5> alarm siren going off Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> What in the world is going on with my 2002 M5?
