Thanks, Dan! I am happy about it. I am going to sell my current 7 series. I have a feeling it might take a while. Not that many folks are interested in a 15 year old BMW with 217,000 miles.
As far as pictures, sure I can send some. They are the pictures from the seller's listing. I'm hoping when it gets here that I will have a weekend to do some Martha Stewart detailing.

Sounds like a nice example. So what are you doing with your existing 740? As I opined earlier today, I think part of my problem is my past luck in finding nice, well kept examples cheap. As I expand my search I'm finding that the decent ones are north of $5,000, more than I had been previously considering. Looks like it's time to open the wallet and accept that the ones I have were anomalies due to luck or circumstance. There are two what appear to be nice prospects I'll be looking at this weekend. Maybe I'll get lucky as well. If not, I'm sure the right car will eventually come my way. Pictures?
