Been reading all about people's love of barge bargains and finally decided to join the revolution, after seeing this beauty for the bargain basement price of £600. BMW 730i, FSH, 2 owners from new, electric everything, original tool kit, torch still in the glove box, first aid kit still shrink wrapped under the seat (expired 17 years ago!) Done 600 miles between the last 4 mot's, and only 89k on the clock! It's fair to say I'm a happy chap! ☺

That looks great, I still think the E32 is the best looking 7 series ever. £600 is an absolute bargain for that assuming it came with some MOT and isn't catastrophically broken!

Came with only a few days, but flew through it! Advisory on slightly rusty rear disks, and a missing exhaust rubber! Can't complain at that really! 👍

Quality work OP. Barge shedding, in price only. That 7-series has perfect proportions, they really got it right.

Good work OP, and a great price!

Reminds me that my barge itch hasn't been scratched for a few years now

That looks stunning for the price!

Flew through it's MOT, looks rust free... why don't these bargains pop up when I'm car hunting?!

When I'm actively searching, I'm sure an alert goes out to every cad in a 60 mile radius to polish their turds, service them with a hammer / duct tape and stick them online at concourse prices.

Well done OP thumbup

The E32 is easily the best looking 7 of the lot.

In the local paper, priced at £600. Didn't even argue with him about the price, an atm trip later and I was wafting home over some of the best driving roads in North Wales (horseshoe pass and nant y garth!) And pleasantly surprised how well a big old thing like a 7 handles!

looks rust free....
Apart from 2 small spots under the boot lid, which will be sorted in due course, and 2 slightly crusty looking jacking points. Rear arches and the underside are all in very good condition!
If I'm being really fussy (and I am!) The lacquer has gone on the sunroof and needs re doing, and it would benefit from a damn good machine polishing to get rid of some light scratching and swirl marks.
Anyone recommend a good machine polisher in N Wales/Cheshire area that isn't going to cost as much as I paid for the damn thing!

This is really not helping my itch for another one, or an E38. Mine was a manual on E34 Sport shocks etc, it was easily the most hilarious thing I've ever been sideways in, expecially whilst 4-up in leathery armchair goodness biggrin

It had some odd little electrical niggles (read "character") but they're great big cars.
