BMW E38

[Zerubbabel]

Hi, 

I'm thinking of buying a BMW E38 740i .

How should I plan my purchase ? - As in look up Vehicle History Records , Vehicle Condition etc .

Also, who would be the Mechanic to go to or should it be to the Agents ? How much money would it cost to maintain it each month on average ? Is the fuel consumption about 4km / Ltr in  Colombo ? My usage is 1500 Km's per month .

Please tell me / warn me / educate me about this car in a Sri Lankan context . Thank you

Welcome to AL.

1. GET THE MONEY READY. 

2.Get a car maintained at the agent.This is the best bet as you are less prone to end up with a car held together with chewing gum 

3. If you are planning on getting a BMW with a 4000cc engine, Dont ask of the efficiency.! 

Good luck.
