Actually, Manly is nice, too! I had a good time there! I think I got a few pictures on my server somewhere! I wish I'm there right now! Enjoy the beach for me this weekend! Get that surf/boogey board ready!

Hi Vik! This one might pair well with a 253! Uhhhmmmmmm!

Hey Mate! How's Bondi these days? I miss that place! Now real bad because of our pesky winter!!!! Hike!

And my deepest gratitude.....you made my heart skip! This one is my favorite and the one I wanna own! Thank you, SIR! You are very kind!

COPYCAT!!!!

ASAD! I love your signature, MAN! Could you make me the white face???? Hike!

Ouch! Sorry to hear that! You mite have to wait until The Zigmeister or the other experts here chimes in.....I have a bad feeling that you might have to send it back...I have done that before on my other chronos which I have a lot! I actually stop buying them....except my future purchase of a Daytona! Best thing to do on these REP chrono Asian 7750 is not to use the chrono......they are not reliable! I never use mine! I use a GEN if I have to use the Chrono function.....I have a GEB Breitling and a Tag for that.......and a few Casios and Tissot as well.......hehehe! Good luck! oooooops, I think I miss something....You reset @2 button I believe! @4 starts and stops the chrono! Could you try that?

Freddy! I love that, but I miss your Daytona! I'm in the process of sourcing one right now! Thanks for all your post and your PM! I didn't know that there's a lot of history on this watch! I'm amazed! Again, thanks~! Hike

Hi Ztech! O $hit! It's not looking good now! You know, you're on to something koz that's the first thing I've read at the Bimmer Forum when I started poking around about this car! What scares me is buying it even with two year warranty, then it craps out after that........... I might just have to wait for the 645ci to come knocking on my door! I guess it might be the wrong car for now! Thanks, Z! Hike That's not good news! Sofar, I've been very lucky with my '98 740! Nothin' happenin' yet...knock on wood! Just need the front suspension upgraded! My upcoming summer project !

O man, that's too bad! But at least you've enjoy them, right? Thanks, Stephane!

Thanks J! Thanks B! Damn, Now you both are scaring me! This might not be a good buy after all! If I do this, I will definitely make sure that I'm covered for at least 2 years! I believe this particular model comes with a 100,000 mile warranty or 7 years? Correct me if I'm wrong!

I had a similar problem before and someone suggested running the second hand all the way to 55 or so then stop and reset! The energy is stonger, I think is the theory. You might also do this few times! Hope it works for you!

Now, that's a different experience! Have anyone else experience that??? B16, do you know what year and model by any chance? Thanks!

Hi Stephane! If you still have that baby running and in mint condition, WOW! That's a classic in my book! My Cousin-in-law have that in RED and its beautiful! Enjoy your ride! Hike!

I'm gonna order mine +plus rubber! This watch looks like could be made to resist water, so its gonna be swimming and diving a lot this summer!

So, what you're saying is that there's really nothing mechanically wrong with the 2002 IDrive other than the critics not liking the system? That's crazy! With regards to the setting config, I think I've seen that Mini BAR configuration in one of those actors 745! It could also be that in the 4 seating config, they use the middle part to drop down so that you could put in your Skis or golf bag with clubs like they have on my 740. On the 645ci, I don't what is, but everytime I see it parked, I'll do a double take and drool over it....it's like seing a beautiful woman that stops you dead on your tracks and then stare and ogle! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Thanks, fish! Believe me....we're getting to the European GAS costs here.....California is the worst! Although we're far from $7.50 a gallon yet! The Pundits are predicting $4 a gallon by late Spring/Early Summer! But when you drive this car, you don't think of GAS COST! You're in your elements inside this Babies!

But look at the info I'm getting already!!! If it's out of warranty, I could do most of the job myself, plus my brother is a certified Bavarian Mechanic! I've done most of the work on my 740! Thanks!

Hi Anton! Thanks for the info! He's got the five seater version, I would assume! I never really paid attention to this particular model because I have my eye set on the 645Ci, but since he's selling price is so tempting, I might go for it! So you're saying this is the first model that BMW put the IDrive in? I have the '98 740IL and I love it! It's been my baby since and only drive it in the summer! Thanks for the info on the IDrive system, I might have to fly to Houston a day early when I pick it up if the deal goes thru, just to get acquainted with it! Again thanks for the heads up!

My best friend from Houston just called me and is giving me a shot to buy his 2002 BMW 740Il rather than trade it in! Any info/feedback on this model will be highly appreciated. One thing I've found so far is that this particular model have problematic IDrive system....this is from the BimmerForum!. It looks like this, but in Dark Blue (He's sending me pictures later): BTW: it has 50,000Miles; with Bimmers, it's still in break-in miles! Fully loaded with everything and 20" RIMS! Thanks!

Black beauty week for me: Monday start: Tuesday: Wednesday:

Fred, I gotta get one of those......What a beaut!

A LETTER TO TTK/NEIL
