So for my best piccies - clients who pay the most, I also have to supply a disk with the originals. But they get to review the photos quickly on Smugmug, which is good. I also hate the fact that being in the UK we get to see the site down quite often in the mornings when they're doing work on it. It's down right now in fact - which is why I started to look at reviews.

It is solid, and truly is one amazing machine. The engine excellerates effortlessy, and at one point everything worked just fine (I purchased it used in 2002 with 85K miles, now it has 147K miles). Within the first 30 days, the water pump blew out on me while on the freeway, at a towing cost of $330. The pump was about $120 to replace. Not long after that, the radiator went out, and so did the rear hydraulic brake accumulator. Being that the car was about 11 years old at the time, receipts from the previous owner showed regularly scheduled maintenance had been performed, and most of the costly parts were replaced prior to my acquisition. As of to date, I ran into some high-standing water, and the engine stopped and wouldn't start. I had one jackal tell me the engine was hydro-locked. I took it to a mechanic that I once trusted (but trust no more) and he was able to get all of the water out. The car ran better than before!!! Then the rear differential had to be replaced as well as the front stabilzer bar. The front struts need replacing as well as the muffler (dragged the muffler on the freeway for several miles and it's now loud, but actually sounds like a Ferrari so I decided not to fix it!!!). Other than the fact that if you do not start the car within five days of its last run, the battery goes completely dead (???). I hear all of the complaints from everyone, but rest assure, my '91 750iL is the STUFF and I will not part from unless it is absolutely necessary. I also now own an '06 Mercedes-Benz CLS 500 - this car is the SH!T!!! There are no words for it other than I AM GLAD I HAVE IT!!! My fiance is so crazy about the car, that she is buying me a (used) 745Li for me to drive while she drives my Benz. Although I agree with her kind-heartedness, I make it known that the CLS is still MY CAR - even during and (hopefully not) after marriage. The 745Li is an '03 with just over 101K miles. The seller claims that it has been dealer maintained for all scheduled visits, and that the only thing wrong with it is that there is a flat tire sensor that stays on, although all 4 tires had been replaced. Can someone post on this forum the cost of a (single) replacement flat tire sensor? I believe the price of the car is a good one and I don't want to have to break my girl's heart by taking back my car, but if I can get some reliability out of this thing until I get my Bentley Continental GT (1-2 years from now), I will be a happy person. I will NEVER get rid of my 750iL if I can help it. Sorry to hear of all the troubles other BMW owners are having, but i guess God blessed me to have a reliable old Bimmer that is kicking A$$ everytime it gets on the road. But, I am thinking about getting a Ferrari 360 replica and dropping my Bimmer's V12 engine in it. Anyone know of a Ferrari body kit car company that I can contact???

Can anyone offer any comparisons? Any other vehicles I should be considering? I drive about 30,000 miles per year. I'm in a Volvo with 300k miles - it is too small, lacks needed storage space, and is gradually losing all of it's functionality (no AC, no dash lights, no tilt, no cruise, no CD, tranny problems etc...). I would like to buy soon - next 30 days or so! HELP! Suggestions please! I am looking for a newer vehicle, considering Audi A8, BMW 745LI, MB S-class, BMW X5, or MB M-class.
