Bought this unseen, actually not even knowing what it was other than an 'old seven series' so could serve as a wheel donor for my E24 to get it off metrics.

Nice surprise though when it showed up....all £200 quids worth. :)

Has a few small issues but nothing too scary. There's a slight missfire I hope (and assume) is just a coil, but I will plug it in (obd scanner) and see what it says. I need to sort the mirrors out properly as some scrote snapped them off (fixed on at the mo, but need a bit more work) and the pixels on the climate are shot. It has all the bells and whistles....PDC, ESP ACS, heated elec seats, all that junk, and it all seems to work.

So are you still looking for some wheels? :)

That's a nice looking car, I'd love to waft around in that!

These are the wheels I was looking for so I might just get a more mundane set of E38 alloys to go on this and use these on the E24 or use the E24 metrics on this. I have about five sets of E28/24/34 alloys.

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

With over 200K on it, either the motor has been replaced or it's a decent engine.
