It won't be going anywhere for awhile because think I will be getting stupid quotes on insurance to so will have to wait for my claim to settle .
It's just such a nice car so very well looked after , just look at the seats you would not think it's done a 180k .
It's got to be worth £2000 surly it's taxed 12 months mot and he has spent a few quid on the suspension .
Tyres are like new .
It's a non sunroof model.
Aside from that it drove very well very smooth a quiet , once seated it does not feel like such a big car .
What do you guys think of the 2.8 as it's only putting out 190 bhp for such a large car .

That is a great spec car. 728s are fine, they do not feel like a road block and can be relatively economical if driven sensibly. Shame about the 180k. If everything works and it has no major issues and you want it, try £1500.

Because of the mileage, I doubt if there is much of an earner in it but it would make a nice smoker for the price of a rusty 325 :)

I know nothing about these at all , but it look to be a good 1 to me , stunning colour combo it really is just suits the car so well .
The tv monitor slides forward to reveal a front disc loader of some sort but it has a changer in the boot so don't know what it's for .
Don't know where the radio is .
And forgot to check if the air con works .
Not sure if its an individual spec car but it's defo a sport due to the seats and black headlining .
So much car for so little money , but I bet will cost a few quid to maintain .

Yes miles are very high but it's fully stamped up by Damien hill to about 160 .
He spent £800 pounds on it all new rear suspension /discs! /Pads/inc foot brake shoes/track lincs 12 months m.o.t .
So that's always a good sign money being spent .

The radio works through the nav screen, or not :( The tuner boxes do die. The TV will be dead as it is analogue, they can be converted but the gubbins is several hundred squids :( Aircon needs checking as dead systems never just need gas :( The turd also needs a decent roadtest, steering vibrations at 50-60 mph are never just wheel balance related :(

E38s are great cars BUT a tired pig (that will be most) can easily swallow its purchase price in a vain attempt to make it a good sorted car :(

Now you got me worried :-(
Surly this one don't look like it's been used and abused
Looks like it's just rolled of the production line .
The only problems he mentioned was you can open the boot from inside the car , warning on dash saying brake lights are not working and also that the boot is open when it's not , that due to a catch and he has a replacement .
Will have to check the air con , to be fair I did not take it far or up to speed but I will on Monday .
I guess they fall into the big car nobody wants , but I think they still look the part .

Looks like a nice car with a great spec. 728i's are fine, they dont feel slow at all and are not bad on fuel especially on the run.

:cool: probably one of the best spec's in the 728's with individual spec being the Mora metallic you won't find many with that colour.

I had one 3 years ago on a 02 plate in mora metallic dam thing was nice got offered good moneys for it so had to go :)

Don't know Why Sebring didn't buy this but I picked this up a few weeks ago from the old chap as I couldn't refuse for what I got it for.

Very well maintained car and nice spec, Identical to the above one which I also had for a while after M-sport :D

History and Originality is phenomenal on this, I got two a4 binders full including all its original owners pack, Even has it Motorola mobile and charger

:D

A quick picture of it
