I bought this. The owner died and it was left in a garage.

One owner 728i Manual. Cronk FSH.

Winched out of the garage.

The fuel tank had sediment in. The petroleum based residue wound not combust!

Oil/Filter replaced. Fuel filter about to be.

Lets see if it starts today and if so it can go for an MOT.

That's an interesting one...for some reason people at work let me know these sorts of things

Well, it has covered 8 miles. No issues. Everything works as it should even the electric aerial. (but not the phone)

Probably keep this and sell the 325iA [/img]

Needs taking up to the city for a photoshoot outside the Lloyds Building

Nice find!

At least the owner can Rest in peace knowing its being taken well care of!

Good luck with it

The only really bad point is that it is an 80s car
Despite being unused for nearly 20 years it still smells of cigarettes

some people pay for that odour!
you have had a lucky find there some decent suspension and that will be great to drive as well as look at.

Posted: **Mon Feb 16, 2015 7:13 pm**

It already has decent suspension. The E23 is a very good handling car, better than the E28 and smooth riding.

Please don't ruin it on some shit coilovers.

Awesome!!

i doubt chris would do that lol

all this needs is 16" e38 BBS's, hell even the 15" from the e34 will do but i think they may need a 5mm spacer to clear everything on the front strut

Posted: **Mon Feb 16, 2015 10:40 pm**

E34 BBS will fit without a problem, but will need E34 front bearing dust caps to allow the centre to fit.
Tbh it looks fine on steels. I'd resist all attempts to deviate from how it left the factory.

May have wheels like this under the trimzzz:

So so smooth.

Very relaxed. Going to SORN the M3 and use this for the motorway.

It's actually quite economical too.
