Left Foot For Clutch: 1998 BMW 740il 6 speed

The big boy E38 BMW seems to get better and better looking with age.  These pre-Bangle designed cars were the last classically designed sedans that have excellent proportions.  The USA 7 series never came with a manual, but today's feature has had a 6 speed installed from a E39 540i sport.  The listing mentions some extensive exhaust modifications that should make this car sound like the devil's own chariot.  Hopefully, the aftermarket BC coilovers on the car can be adjusted higher as the car seems to be a little too slammed for the author's tastes.  Find this 1998 BMW 740il for sale in Deep River, CT for $7,000 via craigslist.

Mid Week Match-Up: A Barge For Dave

I know it is late Wednesday evening...but that doesn't mean there isn't time for a quick Mid Week Match-Up...because the week is half over and the matching isn't done yet!   This next request is for a guy who, for the sake of anonymity, we will call Dave.  Dave needs a car to replace his rusting Buick Roadmonster Estate Wagon...which is the proper 260 horsepower almost-an-LT1 equipped model, but it has seen better days.  Dave is thinking about a 7-series BMW from the late 90s/early 00s, so we'll start with that...but you guys get to suggest some other terrible awesome rides.
