But just the timing chain/ guides kit was $1300 USD + tax + shipping. http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E38-740...Kit/ES2526332/

My dad used to own one for about 2 years, didn't have a single problem the whole time other than having to replace the pixels and the passenger window motor guess we got lucky and got a good e38, but anyways, I posted here because I want to get one for myself not have a bunch of people tell me not to buy one and I am still not going to change my mind. I have been around cars my whole life and know quite a bit for my age (16). I have done 2 motor swaps, one in a Mazda b2200 and another in a 240sx, I have also done a complete restoration with my neighbor on his Triumph Spitfire and am currently doing one on my dads 1952 dodge regent, its almost done. I love working on cars and fixing them and for my age i am pretty good at it, with time comes knowledge and I am still learning. And yea that V12 Is a really nice car I'd love to own it but sadly it is out of my price range 
BY THE WAY! I planned on parking the car on my driveway and not driving it until I replaced the timing chain guides no matter how good their condition is.

Did you even click his link to see what's included?
He also said he replaced other parts while it was apart, to avoid having to take that same things apart twice. These are things that come with experience and taking advice from people who've already been there/done that.
But if you insist....

I think no one has anything against the car itself.
You basically asked for advice on an internet car forum, and several members with experience on that model gave their input and you basically told them they were wrong. A few other people gave you advice on owning a first car and you told them they were wrong.
Of course, you can go ahead and do your own thing, but I hope you realize other people are just telling you from experience what is going to happen.

If we wanted to hate there are about 10 other things you have posted that I am sure the members here could have pulled you apart limb by limb for.
^that would be hating.

But I get it, I tried to run a R129 Mercedes on a school/part time job situation. I was in love with it, but I didn't have much money to eat or do anything else during the day, however trade off is I learned tons of DIY. I will own one again..........

i think its a sick car, especially in white with some alpina or hamann wheels. check out cali and oregon craiglist. maintenance may be a bitch, but fuck it, you'll be rolling in one of the best looking cars BMW ever made inside and out.

So you already had some idea of maintenance costs and shit like that. How many times have you heard the tale of a kid who buys a high end car as their first vehicle that they can barely afford to purchase, then when the expensive maintenance rolls around they can't afford it so they cheap out and skip maintenance work or buy shoddy parts and end up with a trashed car.

I never asked for anyones advice, I asked if anyone was selling a bmw 740I. This is too funny, I know the cars are notorious for breaking and I am okay with that, like I said I like to fix cars and I dont mind spending all my money on it because I AM STILL 16 NOT IN MY 20'S LIVING ALONE PAYING BILLS. I don't know why everyone assumes im some broke motherfucker.
