As some of you know i've had this old E38 728i Beemer for a few years, love it to bits, great big cruiser, has been dead reliable and surprisingly not too bad on fuel.
So i've had half an eye open for a E38 740 or (idealy) 750iL, would love to say i looked at a few, considered carefully, and bought the best i could find but i cant
, a last minute, frantic, impulse, E-bay bidding frenzy last week and i'd bought this unseen
Came from a farm in Stonehaven (collected it on Saturday) so it was absolutely filthy
, will take a while to get it up to decent standard but it's basicaly sound and should clean up nice.
Engine is Biblical :twisted: , 5.4 litres of creamy V12 goodness, 326 bhp and a wall of torque, it's very quick for a two ton (+) barge.
Interior is lovely, being a long wheel base it has tons of leg room in the back, double glazing and blinds (full Dictator spec
)
Phone needs either an O2 or Vodaphone Sim, lights up ok so should work.
Info screen on the dash is dead though
, recon it'll need a new Video unit in the boot (should be able to get one from a member on another forum)
Will be transfering the M-Parallel wheels from my 728 (which will be for sale) as well as prefering the style these have better tyres, so far i've found a broken front coil spring and a rotten front spring seat on the front of the 750, will also need brake pipes but it's MOT'd till April so no great rush.
Will post up better pics once i get it shined up
