Anyone know much about them?

Apart from the most obvious suspension tiredness what are 728i's like?

Anyone have real world experience of owning one with LPG?

Cheers
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

2.8 is a good lump, be wary of leaky/steamy V8's though :eek:

I hear all is good now, unlike my V8 Pina that has only 6 cylinders :eek:
