I'm looking for a car atm and this is tempting but it's 6 hours away.
Also notice seller has bad feedback on a 750i in dec 15 and its got me thinking .

I don't know where the council estates are in Dundee, but you'll be the king of them in that tasteful bad boy!

Nice mismatched interior and a smattering of council council tat.

I don't mind the MK motorsport wheel but not on one of these.

I think it needs a few more V12 badges.

A well presented, standard de-badged 750i is a cool chariot.

That is not.

+1 :D and those aftermarket headlights... and I bet the owner did some "upgrades" under the bonnet too, you will need same amount or more to put it all back like it should be :?

That interior is terrible. Champagne seats and door cards fitted to a car that originally had beige leather which still retains the two tone brown and beige dash, consoles and carpets.

Unless you are a roided and tatted meat head, this is NOT a good look !!! A nice stock E38 is a lovely thing, this is not stock or lovely, avoid ! 750s are best avoided, lots of specific bits and horrible SLS suspension dramas that WILL rear their ugly heads. 740 is the better option, though a nice late 728 is quite a pleasant tram and not the tragic road block you would think.

728i's are perfectly acceptable and quick enough to get out of their own way. I'm sure I read somewhere (BMW Car?) that a manufacturer is now producing reasonably price fuel tanks for them as well when the original inevitably sh!ts itself. OE replacements cost more than what most 728i's are worth.

You can guarantee the owners gaff will feature a 105 inch curved plasma, bodybuilding equipment in the garage/mini gym and an impressive library of Statham/Diesel DVD's.

728i sport individual is what it was advertised as but it has the wrong wheels and i'm sure the sports had colour coded bumpers and sideskirt instead of the black around the bottom.

It does have the full electric sports seats and m/// steering wheel

That has the sport package. The one your thinking of came later on.

It has contour seats right. An interracial mix of a sport and comfort seat.
