So long guys
So I sold my 05 745LI I'm so happy it was on its last leg.. It started to burn blue smoke engine knocking and I think the wheep hole was starting...so I traded her in and picked up a 06 range rover sport supercharged and I'm loving it.... The 7 is a really nice car and I have to say I miss all the options it has that u can't find in any other car but I'm glad I got rid off it wayyyyyyyyyy to much problems and I owned 2 of them... Worst cars made... Anyhow here's some pics of my new baby...

Congrats on the purchase man. Sorry to hear that your 7 had so many problems
not to be a downer but you do know that Range Rovers are notorious for being very unreliable as well right?

I have an range now along with an 7 that I just got ,have to say the 7 is far the better vehicle. After my range got to 100,000 miles it started falling apart.The coolant system is trouble and the frame started to rust.

My '00 e38 Sport has been great. Other than the expansion tank, and level sensor switch mine has been flawless.

I have to agree with Mr.Class. I have dumped 6g in my first year of 7 ownership. I had a e38 and wish i would have just kept it.
I just bought my wife a cx9 Mazda and its just a good feeling getting behind the wheel and not dreading what repair might come next. I love the 7 but what a mess. I am also looking right now for another car to get into. Anyone have any suggestions?

i don't comment on other folks post-bmw purchases, but i must admit i laughed out loud when i saw you were trading a 7 for a Range Rover sport. those are one of the most unreliable vehicles on earth..that is not my opinion btw, that is per consumer reports or any other reputable warranty review company. That being said i love the new body RR sport. I've had an e38 (2001) and e65 (2006), and neither of them have broken down once. of course i do a ton of preventative maintenance in my garage to keep it that way. The 7-series is hit or miss.. you either get a gem or a lemon--no way to know until you take it home.
Good luck with the Range, hope it works out better than your 7!

Good Luck with and congrats on the replacement.
I have NOT owned a RR personally, but I echo what is being said here re: reliability issues of both vehicles. Hopefully you got a solid one. ~ Big Marcus

As a matter of fact the reason I bought an 05 new instead of waiting for an 06 Was because it was the last year with the BMW engine. Many many parts even say BMW on the parts. My 05 has been such a sweet ride, I don't wanna part with it........but I love the new design!

I currently have both cars and I must say I enjoy my RR slightly more, however you really can't compare a truck and a car because of the different options/features in both.
