my mechanic has told me of a 740 that is for sale at a very cheap price because the car was flooded with water (under the left hand seat I believe), all the electrics work but the engine ticks over but does not fire up (no spark or no fuel is my guess) the owner wants to sell it because the local agent told him he needs to change most of the wiring loom (they are known for pulling these stunts). however my mechanic thinks that the problem is down to the ECU, if so I can get it repaired for 5$ from a technician that used to be outsourced for these jobs by the agent.... however I don't want to get stuck with a car that will cost a bomb to fix... does anyone have any advice?
