Today's 7-series is a freak-- someone swapped an entire drivetrain from an E39 540i 6-speed under the hood, so now it has a 282 horsepower 4.4 liter M62 V8 mated to a Getrag 420G 6-speed pushing power to rear wheels. Sounds good, right?
If it sounds too good for the asking price, it is because the car does need a significant amount of work to make it a good daily driver. Per the seller:
-front drivers window needs new motor
-front passenger window needs regulator
-most of front lip broke off, bumper is fine
-a/c hooked up but doesn't blow cold
-heat works but fans don't blow hard
-kidney grills are cracked
-radio needs code from BMW (they gave me the wrong code)
-gauge cluster shuts off intermittently for days at a time. Not sure why
-saggy headliner above rear seats
-Could use an alignment
