 I have owned a 97 for the past 3.5yrs.  
And it has been the absolute best 
driving, handling and performing, not 
to exclude safest car I've ever owned. 
My 2nd car is a 85 928S owned since 
nearly new. So if you want near true 2-
door sports car performance and 
handling without the cops pulling you 
over too often the 740iL is it.  My car 
has been driven nearly 50K miles since 
I bought it and only the typical 
services had to be performed and it 
still runs like new.  Those are the 
facts.  Only thing better 750iL...maybe 
my next car.
