I love these cars. I am a long-time BMW enthusiast (I currently own an E90 330xi 6 speed), and I love how unique the design was on them and how different they were from the rest of the line-up. They still have that BMW DNA, where they're very comfortable and refined but you still have feedback from the road. This was completely lost in the F01 7 series and in newer BMWs. I've been looking to get into one for awhile, but like you said it's rare to see one that's been properly maintained. I think the N62 is an absolute peach of a motor, but once again the maintenance is absolutely crucial, with the extended oil change intervals from BMW being the crux for the valve stem seals. Worlds more reliable than the N63 (in its early iterations). Please keep the updates coming, and thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I’ve been daily driving this all week and definitely enjoying it. No faults have returned yet. Have some parts on order and may push my luck and splurge on a new windshield.
Love the E65 7 series, probably my favorite 7 series... especially the pre facelift!! Currently driving a W211 E Class, but I'm on the lookout to potentially swap to a E65... If I find any good examples... Love the vids, keep it up!!
