E32 7 Series. At 35 yrs old I'm strangely drawn to these at the moment! I think it's because the shape reminds me of my dads old E34 530i from 1989. Anyone had first hand experience of them? Beleive the later 730 and 740 V8s had nikasil issues but no vanos. This one looks lovely.

I am struggling to believe every 7 is now "worth" a min of thread max, although it seems hard to find many for less. Although many, many have been advertised for genuinely years. Like the one on C&C more recently than one you linked to.

And even those at a sensible price. Perhaps it's the 175k putting people off. Or just that not everyone with even £2200 wants an old thirsty barge...

Well its incredible how much some tyre spray can add to a picture. But when pic 2 shows the bonnet and wing not meeting, for 160% of thread max, even with low miles, they can keep it.

I had a car that looked just like that silver one! I bought it for its cd multichanger to put in my '72 beetle. The bmw cost £150 from Kinross Motor auctions and was sold on for £700...i thought I'd done well. smile

I have been in a 735i only, they're lovely old things.

Morning to all

I am in Cambridge visiting family this weekend so if there are any bargistas (BigBen?) about for an impromptu mini-gathering, let me know. I'll be in the E39 unless I can bodge on the door mirror on the CL today.

I just wanted to share this as possibly the worst thing I've ever seen.

Anyone else see a little boys comic face in the veneer to the left of the parking brake switch?
My immediate reaction was Michael Myers from the original Halloween film.
To be honest I'd rather see that than a leaper bodged on the outside. Secretive Geraldry which is a 10 minute process to rid the car of, that's fine. smile

There will be a significant overlap with the people who tend toward Geraldry, and those who are into Heraldry.

Coincidence? You be the judge!

The guy who has his entirely imagined family crest on the wall next to the proud historic map of whichever no-mark county he's from. Keeps his Jaguar keys on the 'telephone table'. Has a phone directory and uses it. That guy.

Do you have a tartan blanket on the parcel shelf?

Stinky diesel, check.

Boring colours, check.

Remarkably competent long distance cruiser, check.

F01 7 series really are getting close to thread. Cheapest 750 is 150% of thread max still.

No, but I should probably invest in one. And some Werther's Originals.

This would probably make a nice thing with a remap.

Nice, the only grumble is the BMW model badging making no sense with a 523i having a 3.0 litre engine. Bring back a 523i actually being a 2.3, I remember when all this was fields etc.

Just needs a wider angle, to include the car port and full set of Hozelock gardening accessories in the wicker basket you got on that holiday to Tenby when Peter and Barbara were betrayed by the clearly malevolently malfunctioning satnav and went to Tenbury Wells instead.

Straight 6 having twin exhausts and anything less just the one.
