Lovely, isn't it?








My perfect spec. Just 10x too dear for me presently.

[Zwolf]

Also gorgeous.






£13k.

Four services in 12 years. Low mileage car I know, but that seems a stretch.

Had that been Mora with Cream I might have done something stupid.

GMS have this http://www.gmscars.co.uk/bmw_740i_sport__individua...

Was it GMS that the guy in the BMW Club Magazine bought his 7 series from Zwoelf?

[Zwolf]

Sort of. GMS by way of Ultimate 7 I think it was.

That 740 Sport in Mora is stunning.

I don't know anything about these; does anyone wish to comment?

I think it's totally overpriced and that rather than enhancing it, the Lorinser mods actually detract from it. Time is rarely kind to after market body kits and wheels, particularly on a Mercedes. There are exceptions, but they are few and far between. The money they are asking for that car would get you into a very nice original example, or possibly even a tidy 560, without the tasteless add ons. All IMHO of course.

[hornetrider]

Can't comment on value but I think it still looks the business.

I love the SEC and the saloon from that era, but everyone will have their own idea of what looks right. Highly respected PHer bosscerbera recently posted pics of 'The Duchess', both before and after the addition of period Lorinser wheels, which he had spent a long time sourcing. I preferred the car with the originals, but it's not my car so it doesn't matter and he would rightly not give a hoot what I think!

That car is the exact reason I have been buying lottery tickets recently.

I intend to go into business as a Petrol-Heads undertaker. I have an almost matching 540i Tourer, so that 7 would complete the set beautifully.

I couldn't have put it better myself!

[Zwolf]

Oof!

760Li with reasonable miles under £10k.




1 owner, FSH and will take sensible offers...

The ALPINA alloys look to be E38 era ones, rather than E65 though. I'm not aware if the offsets were different between the models, but do they look too far into the arches to anyone else?

Regrettably.

[Wing Commander]

I have noticed that the E65/66 cars all seem to look that way. I could be wrong. But, to me, that looks like a nice car.

My E66 budget keeps on ebbing and flowing, but is resolutely always short of the required amount. Hoping that not so long from now, one of these will grace my driveway.

ETA, it would appear that, despite parking on green stuff, they have not added the grass tax. A pleasant change to the norm.

However, it's on tarmac next to grass. Just think, a couple of metres either way and they could ask at least £2k more. Fools!

Delicious. The EDC dampers frighten me though if/when borked.
