It's nice from the sides and from the rear, but sort of ugly from the front and the interior is not good-looking at all in my opinion. It's not something to druel about, basically the lowering and the wheels is what makes it look good, without those it would look like an old 1988 BMW to me, they are all basically the same anyway!

About the house in the background, I seen pics of another car with the exact same house in the background in the exact same positions, maybe its the dealer's house? Or maybe that guy simply owns a lot of cars he wants to sell on ebay?

No offense on BMW's, I think the new M3 convertible BMW looks the best though.

I'm just as perplexed. I don't see anything special. I mean the '02 is suppose to have a 333 hp engine (I believe its the '02) but thats not the one in the pic. Even with a 333 hp engine, the 740 still won't be able to get out of its own way. . And like another post ponts out, all BMW's have no interior personality whatsoever. Those engineers will never give in to what others want a car's interior to look like.

Hehe, I am amazed how a stock 7 series pix w/ titled "bad ***" can draw so much attention on this board. Let me try the at bimmer.org with my GS

This is all true, I still like it. would not buy it but i like it.

I two think the body style could use some working. i mean they did make them longer in 96-97? and round some stuff but it is still a lot like the 88 up cars.

You would also think that BMW would do something to the big 7, I mean this has been there "flagship" for ever. At least they could offer a fast version. hell for that matter even a quick version would be nice. I mean didn't they build the motor for the McClaren? so there has to be ways of getting more hp/tq out of that v12.
I don't know maybe they think that more people are into the 5 series and 3 series. I mean if i was to stroke a check to day for 02 740 like the picture I would just get a M5.

Oh well, i don't have 70K to blow today so i guess it doesn't matter.

Isn't that Martin Kraft's car? I love the Bruce Nomura modified RMM bumper...he should make a mold and sell that kit...

Wonder if Martin is going to update the rims...they are seriously dated and there are too many knock-offs running around (I think EVERY knock off company makes one!).

Some 3-piece, deep lip, 19" or 20" Yokohama AVS Model 5's would look great...oh wait, they don't make that rim! Never mind!
