I didnt know whether to put this in 'Other' or 'Photo Gallery' so sorry if its in the wrong place.

Anyway, as I plan to go to New Zealand in the new year, im going to need some funding, therefor the cab will be going up for sale soon. So, ive stuck that in the garage and got myself a bit of luxury to drive around in.
Its a 730i Straight 6 with electrics and leather everywhere and only cost me £220:

I hope that steering wheel is in the bin already.

Looks great for the money otherwise, fantastic value for money the old 7s.

looks cool, must be heavy on fuel thou. The problem with that steering wheel is that is is the wrong shade of wood, if it was matched up to the cars wood trim with some tastefull leather inserts it would look really cool.

With the box on economy mode, im not getting much less than my 325i for mpg.
The worst thing about the steering wheel for me is that there is no grip, if your hands are a bit sweaty, you have no hope for getting around a corner!

That's three Zoners so far (that I'm aware of, there may be more) that have migrated to the dark side of a 7-series...

Looks bloody good for the money! - Just a shame it's Gold, but the interior is spanking!
