    How much can you tow with a 750il?

    Points of irony:
    The economy gauge has a marking of 40 mpg on it.
    Imagine that the fuel gauge is near empty.

    bmw never bothered with a tow rating for the li... although they did rate the rear seat for one medium sized coke party and the trunk for three west coast hookers.

    If you race this please doctor up your helmet so it looks like a chauffeur's cap.

    Right-o $1300 is the "intended Challenge usage" price.

    I completely support the corvette wheels idea or the chauffeurs cap idea, or the two otters and a tub of peanut butter idea. Just so long as the thing shows up in Gainesville and makes V12 noises.

    Your daley driver? The locks don't work at all or just the electric aspect? How bad is the WP change? Is that a R&R in the driveway in an hour of three or is it a weekend project. The parts cost is not all that bad. Once the WP is set is is road worthy for say a 10 hour drive?

    In reply to dean1484:

    rock auto has one closeout water pump for $69 then it jumps to $150+ i believe

    so someone hit rock auto then buy the car.
