[00:00] Can you rank the generations of BMW 7 Series? By the way, there are seven generations. E38 is definitely top. E65 is definitely bottom. And that's reflected in their values. The E38 is worth the most, $19,000.
[00:13] And the E65 is worth the least, free. And every other BMW 7 Series generation fits in terms of value in between those two, even the new ones. I'm still waiting for M760s to come down.
[00:27] They're still getting there, but they're still in the 40s. They're getting there. Do you care about the generations between the F? I do because I actually think that the F01 is the next best after the E38. Really? Yeah, probably. Yeah.
[00:39] What are you going to say? Is the E32? Might be. No. No, I think because it's the next one, which is the G11. The G11, G12. Yeah. That's the one with the M760. That was a good car. That, I think, is the second best. Fine. I'll stipulate. E38 and then either F01 or G11 next and whichever one isn't that, that's the next.
[00:53] You looked at an F01 recently? Looking old. That's a nice looking car. You can't tell me it's not. It's fine. Although current one is really a nice car. The current one I would put third. I know you and I are like two of the only people in the world who like it. You know, actually, I might put current one second.
[01:05] No way. It would just be a good inflammatory. And it has so much presence. You think because it's heinous. I like the way it looks, but it's not the best looking. That's the take. So what looks good? You think the G11 looks that good? When I see one of those, I nod.
[01:18] All right, fine. That's second. Current's third. F01 is next. Then all we have to do is choose between E32 and E23. Pick them as far as I'm concerned. And E65 is dead last. Thank you.
