KBB high trade-in is $11K, so I put my valuation around $12K.

What is funny is we live in a court and the 2 houses to the left of us both have a 740iL - one is a real sport package, the other a non-sport with the sport wheels. So the one downside is the E38 has been "done" on our court!! OTOH, maybe that is the standard issue lux car for our court. haha.
Just make sure to double check the VIN on e38.org to make sure it's a real Sport...different torque converter and diff ratio. I've seen some pretty great looking 7's over the years to find out they weren't true sports.
