Been offered one by an old guy near me its a 1999 with 115k
Now I know there not a nice motor but for 500 quid is it worth moving on and if so what sort of money for

 

Seems a lot of car for the the money

 

Its got to be worth 1500 all day

 

It is a lot of car it has all phone in all electrics etc just its a 5.4 v12 petrol if want a quick turn around

 

I've had a scout about but can't find any with the v12 for sale. The v12's command a premium, the cheapest non v12 is 800.

 

Quite like those, nice set of wheels it could look really smart.

 

buy it the engine alone will be worth over £500, if you don't want it il have it

 

They didn't make an E38 760i? Must be a 750i?

Good cars for the money, though they do have a few expensive and common problems, such as leaky fuel tanks etc... For £500 you can't go far wrong!

 

Yeah, 750i. 5.4 V12, great cars.

Earliest 760i was the E65.

 

Quite rare, but not many buyers, plenty of people want a few k for them, but they never seem to sell unless exceptional spec, so you could double you money really 1k to 1.5k as above

^ not sure why soo much for that one?


and the V12s dont command a premium, it seems the 728s do, due to its still a nice car , but the running costs are soo much lower.


Make sure its all good for 500, as said about leaky fuel tanks they are common, 1k new from bmw! and a fair amount of work to change, worn front brakes and thats 300ish for none oem stuff, front end wobble at 50mph, loads of expensive bushes!


My water pump failed, £600 in parts!

 

Bloody lovely car I think, though expensive to run.

A mate just picked up a 535i for £1200. Not the quickest thing ever, but a nice barge for running around it. You get a lot for your money with the 5s and 7s of that era.

 

Check its not going into limp home mode as mine kept doing.
There's actually 3 engine ECUs, one for each bank of cylinders and one for the DBW throttle. Spendy proper if faulty.

At that price it's got to be worth a punt though even if you just smoke round in it for a couple of months surely?

 

Sorry stupid I phone it's a 750i going tonight

 

thought they didnt make the 760 until the later model

still alot of car for the money....wouldn't want the fuel bill though

 

its not that bad i avarage 12.5Mpg and these days petrol is cheap

 

Buy it, They really are bulletproof!

I bought this last year, Had been parked up for 4/5 years... Fresh battery and it started and it drove home.

Sadly had to sell as I'd no where to put it!

 

I got the Bmw and sold it on for 1500 lad from Luton and the amount of interest I had I think I could have got more
