Havent given up on my search for a "7", as the 2001 740i is still available. I tried to contact the PO dealer (Devon Hills BMW) in eastern PA, but the Service Manager never returned my email to ask about the service that was done on the car. I have come across a couple of 2002 745Li that have 50-65k and are selling in the high $20's. One is at a BNW dealer and has the remaining CPO warranty until Oct 08. The second car I have not seen yet and is not at a BMW dealer. I have heard the 2002 was not a ggood chioice because of the problems associated with first model year automobiles etc. Anybody want to comment? What can I expect or look for? here is link for the dealer car... http://www.bobbyrahalbmw.com/used_vehicle_details.htm?vehicleId=c23f9da34046381e00223c66a72e8cf7 TY Jim
