It's clean, except the front bumper is ruined and it likely doesn't run any more.

200k++ miles
I am at once frightened and excited about that.
However, not enough cylinders.
I had some thoughts the other day that driving the 750iL, while very good, wouldn't be amazing enough to want to deal with all of the "fun" of owning a 20 year old German luxury car. That said, they were just thoughts, and I would like to confirm or deny that at some point.

Why not just give up and save this? You know you love it.

So many aftermarket gauges.. It would take some sort of genius to count them all!
Also, you can probably see what the coolant temp is... Fancy.

As you and I both know, a brake hose for that Fleetwood is like 8 bucks. The excitement is in bleeding the brakes afterwards!

Wow. Was I supposed to have seen that before?
I think the rear window is cracked.

It is bizarre how that car reminds me of Adam's Fleetwood (rust free but needs much TLC).

It could be a crack. Or a reflection from a power line.

There's 3. And one doesn't even go the same direction.
