Well as of July 14th I no longer own any fine persnickety German autos. It was sold to a guy on the Zilvia.net forums, and I really feel that it is in good hands. He was very excited to see and now own the car, and he had already bought parts for it. I was very sad to see it drive away. I had put so much time, energy, and emotion into driving and working on the 7.
This forum has been instrumental in keeping me on the road. From parts hookups to DIY info to local meets, you guys had a huge part in making my ownership of this car highly enjoyable. I would have LOVED to keep the car and stick around here, but my situation didn't allow it, and I have been swooped up by a beautiful Japanese redhead. She's the one to blame:
Here's a short photographic history of the 740 since I got it.

Last hurrah:
Goodbye Slamber. And thank you.

Have a technical question, don't send me a PM but post it on the board so others can benefit from it!
Never really talked to you before, but I do remember seeing your pictures before (and now) and I think you suck!!! For selling her....
haha
For a toyota!! I don't care what or how valuable it is, it's still a toyota. rawr
Just thank god it wasn't a honda..... I would have hunted you down and murdered you in your sleep.
But really. I'm sure you enjoyed it, just as much as I enjoy mine (As my 7 is sitting in both spaces of my garage in pieces everywhere!!)
Take care.
You will be missed, I guess I could always bother you on stanceworks and facebook.
Sad to see you go. I had a picture of your slammed e38 as my background on my work computer for over a year until I bought my own iL and put mine up. You're car inspired me to buy my 7. I wish I could slam mine like that but I couldn't get it up my driveway if I did. I look forward to you rejoining the BMW community again soon. I am sure whatever you get it will be cool once you're done with it.
