I had wondered that as it would make sense, but someone who "knows E38s" was adamant that stopped at the 735. I too would love a manual 740i - that would be a dream car for me

Yeah, I still dont think a manual fits the E38 even remotely as well as the E39 but the novelty (and actual value) of a manual 740i would definitely convince me for the right price. I loved my manual 540i and still aim to get an M5 after finding a new house (some day...).

The 735i and below only came with the 5-speed manual btw, similar to the E39 range.

Everyone always tells me this about the Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon, but I have one and wouldn't change it for an automatic

Everyone tells me this about the SVX and I wish they'd just stop talking to me because I hate people, fuck the gearbox it has, my brain doesn't work

A manual can really elevate a car if it's in the right car. I haven't driven an SVX yet (would absolutely love to) but the auto problems alone would be a reason to consider it. I'd probably like them either way.

The oldest Twingos are getting rare, but haven't appreciated in value much (yet...). 750 euro for a 1994 one with new inspection:

Airbag light on.
Small exhaust blow.
Some tensioners have started making noise with the recent cold weather.
Service history lacking, and I'd say the belts are overdue by this point as they look it.
Heater matrix may be failing. I found damp in passenger footwell.

Well bugger me sideways! I papped this literally 10 years ago as a student, parked up on Whiteladies Road in Bristol - glad to see it's still alive and kicking, although by the sounds of the ad now slightly kwispy underneath.....

I liked those Mareas, being the 1.8 16v 4pot it means that timing belt replacement should be pretty easy, as the 2.0 20v 5pots advised that you pretty much had to drop the engine to do it.
