We got 34 mpg on the M25. Very nice and original with Full service history 140K. Has a few minor rust spots but for an 11 year old car is great. No council wrongness on this. Its just been looked after well with only 2 owners. Not bad for a little of 2 grand.

It drives perfectly not one thing wrong. No suspension worries.

So much road presence its awesome. I might actually buy this next year. It would be great as a daily.


M52B28TU FTW!!!

Nice, is this one for your dad's collection Mo?

I'm guessing (struggling to see in the pics) it's an SWB one?

There's loads of leg room anyway, even in the SWB models :)

Top spec includes vanity tables and mirrors in the rear as well as heater controls, extra phone, audio controls etc etc.

This will be fine until you have to get a fuel tank for it. As the tank on these is different to the rest of the 7 series

facelift 728i FTW

i'am a big fan of these and would love one. I think i would go for a 728i too, a chip and m50 inlet and you got 210bhp prehaps more?

i would love a 728i sport with indivdual paint and leatherz innit :D

I dont think you can put a M50 inlet. This ones got twin vanos. Sounds nice as well.
