I currently have an '01 740il, anthracite/black with all the options (chromeline, SEDC, blinds, massaging seats etc), but it has ~165K miles on it and it is getting tired. I love the car, especially the space, but given the mileage spending much more on it isn't a good option for me.
So I've been hunting for a nice 750il for months to replace my car. I have two options and want to get feedback from the forum.
Car #1 - 2000 750il chromeline. Black on Black. 25K miles. One owner (with minor celebrity, supposedly, but no paperwork to confirm). Carfax looks fine. No records outside of carfax. A used car dealer has the car. Dealer has good ratings online. I will need to ship it across the country.
Car #2 - 2001 750il sport. Anthracite (same as my current car) on grey. 46K miles. Two owners. Some records (up to $5K of recent work by known shop from current owner who also has a 911 and seems obsessive). Private sale. Has widescreen Nav and '01 updates like clear corners. I can fly in and drive this one home.
I really wanted a different colour than my 740, which has me leaning towards the 2000. I think black/black has better resale potential in the future as well. But the recent service work and widescreen '01 have appeal. I would prefer chromeline over sport package but could go either way.
I think I can get either car for around $16K. Yes - I know that is a lot but these are unusually low mileage and well kept cars and I want something I can build on over the next 3 years. I prefer close to stock.
Which car would you recommend and why? Do I give up much getting the 2000 other than widescreen (could grab from my 740) and the corners (could also grab from my 740)?

Do I go '00 750il Chromeline or '01 750il Sport?
