Default 1997 BMW 750i SWB....

Regrettably selling me 750 due to moving abroad...
Owned for near on 4 years, used daily, never give me any grief, almost every extra, 5.4 litre V12, 157k, plenty of history, ive serviced it every year since I've owned it, suspension been overhauled, lowered on eibach springs, everything works still, no fault codes on dash, drives straight an true good as new, no rattles or noises, smooth as silk...
MOT till Oct, tax till Nov...














Don't spose gonna get much for it lol, so start @ 1500 sovs then an see what happens...

can you put you move abroad off for say 6/7 months, and i might buy it



But dam it wrong time at the mo, still need my pickup truck, but one of these is on the cards when that goes!



good luck with the sale, might want to put a price on the add, as its the rules and the mods will be along shortly with a bashing stick to sort you out otherwise!

I used to service one of these a few years ago - such a lovely ride and you just sink when you floor it.

GLWS!

Hmmm nae sure I don't do autos at all..... looking at prices to get my wheels refurbed and the car painted so thats probably a more sensible option, I'll have a think.
You not interested in it, you do alot less miles than me, it would be cheap to run!

Shame really mate, I can't imagine theres many people willing to run one of these though, my mum chocked when I said you got 30mpg on a run, considering that's 3 times the amount of cylinders in her car, I don't think it's too bad!

I just tried an insurance quote (I'm 20), £8,973

Well, I didn't think 30 was too bad either, I've been in a brand new Renault scenic diesel on the motorway doing 85-90 an that was only returning 27mpg according to the dash...!!!

It's ok for me, I'm old lol, 500 sovs fully comp.... It is a group 20 tho...!!
