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! 👍

Where did you find that little gem OP?
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!

[quote=Matt UK]That looks stunning for the price!
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!
