Cheers eta first job will be to change all fluids, its a habit i have when ever i buy a car i always change fluids even if the service history says its been done recently, then i know its been done and done properly, lol
as to the model i didn't actually go looking to buy a BMW, but a friend knew i was looking for a rear wheel drive saloon (Chevy caprice/impala etc) and had a phone call from a buddy asking if i wanted to buy a 730i SE,I hate front wheel drive cars and as the BMW drives the proper wheels i thought what the hell we'll give it a go i haven't even seen the car yet,lol taking their word on condition, but can't see too many problems, he's reliable and I've bought from and sold to him before, should be collecting on Thursday,
thanks for the lowdown on insurance, guessing its a bit like yank insurance, limit the miles and the policy comes down in price, my truck is on unlimited miles so I'll probably limit the BMW to 5k a year
thanks for the help
