eeeek, i wouldnt touch it with a 20ft pole. Its a beautiful car, but by no means reliable. I Personally wouldnt buy ANYTHING bmw with a automatic. they have issues. 7 Series also have alot of elctrical issues as well from what i remember. The price alone says alot, this is why these cars go for so cheap. Get a 5series with inline 6 and manual tranny and you will have minimal issues if any. good luck.
