The 7 series in question was a great car. At 19 years old, you are asking for trouble. No matter how well it was maintained and howpampered she may have been, there is 'built in obsolescence' within the BMWbrand. That means that the parts used in manufacturing are meant to break down/deteriorate over time and get replaced. If you buy this old vehicle get readyfor some time in the garage and some costly repairs down the road. Happy Motoring !<o:p></o:p>
