Re: 1997-2000 740il
We have a 98 and we have put 70K miles on it in two years. We bought it with 50 K miles. We have done regular maint and had to replace the Cat converters for a couple of grand,(NOT Covered by the extended warranty) Overall we love it and enjoy it everyday!!! Sean

Re: 1997-2000 740il
Look at www.E38.org for common problems with the years you are interested in. The cars are not like Toyotas and Hondas. They require maintenance and care. Really expensive to fix also.
I have had mine for 18 months and only warranty items fixed. Some spend $2k to $5k a year for maintenance and fixes.
