About to take the plunge with a E66

[se7enman]

Hi all. I am not new to owning a beemer. I used to have a E32 and upgraded myself to a E38 10 yrs ago. I sold them to get a E53 X5 4.4 which I really loved, but times were bad than and had to sell it. I have also owned a couple of Mercedes S Class, like the W140 and the W220. The 220 was really not a very good car, Mercedes and Chrysler time. What a terrible merger. So, now I would be moving to KL at the end of the year and was looking at getting a E66 for my business. Was thinking about the 735 or 740 range. My question is, there are quite a few in the used car market, but I don't know if these people are genuine. One ad would have this car at year 2004 and another, with the same exact picture, with the year 2006. Same price, 2 ads. So what I am trying to ask is, is there any reputable dealers in KL? Hahahha.... I know, its an oxymoron. Cheers!

I just bought myself a 730Li. Year 2005. Registered Nov '06. It showed 73xxx km on the meter. As per my trusted mechanic's advice, I requested and brought the car to the mechanic, for a detailed check. Once my mechanic approved, I paid deposit, and now I'm riding it around. Of course, it is still too early to determine whether I got myself a good deal, or if I got myself into a good deal of trouble. But so far, I'm happy. I bought it from Fasline, which is located in Jalan Klang Lama, which is very near to Bandar Sunway. I don't know if they have any more E66's left. But, if you would like, I can introduce you to my friend there, who may be able to give you some advise.

Cheers.
