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.
