Big cars for 2k
 

No longer need my mk1 diesel focus to be a commuter so thinking something big comfy

5 series
7 series
Eclass
S class
A6
A8
Jag xj
Jag s type

Of the above for the money the 5 series or 7 series seem the best looking cars

Old Granada 2.8 ghia :-) not the 2.9 rounded shape. Or the Granada cosworth?

Land Rover discovery 2 TD5? I had one till recently, don't get much bigger or comfier, now got a discovery 3, love it.

I did look at td5 discos and p38 range rovers but the feel very dated

granada is just too old

Jag X Type 2.0 diesel sport would get my vote. I'd get the estate

The 2 does feel dated but not to drive, mine was a 51 but the ES model so full leather, active suspension, climate, full electrics etc etc, so long as it's been used and kept well regardless of mileage they are great

e38 7 series with a v12 lump gets my vote :top:

I have an E39 as a run around/work car, great for the money!

S type v8 for some very lazy comfy grunt.

Nice bm Karl.

I think this is one of the best shapes/model bm have made.

Cheers Glenn, was £1800 with FSH and 3 owners, I then just fitted coilovers, wheels, a short shift kit and tinted the windows to make it how it is now.

How does it ride on the coilovers Karl?
I love the old e38s, a guy i used to know had a brand new 7 series (e65?) back in 2008, drove it a few times nothing could beat it for comfiness!

I went for a midrange Apex kit (£560 IIRC) and am actually really impressed, even with those heavy 19's and low profile tyres the ride is still good, it's not like it was factory, like driving a cloud lol but still nice :)
You don't get compression or rebound adjustment like on a £1000+ kit but they are infinity better than the crap bone shaking, back breaking £200 kit's out there.

I love my s class and will never part with it. Ive owned most the other cars on your list too

Thanks for that Karl, thinking about a set for my monshito as with the 20s on it sits a little higher than I would like even though it's on lowering springs.

Like that s-class!

The e38 is very high in the list it's the car I want TBH as I love the look Karl yours is spot on is it a gen sport what engine did you go for? what's happened to the z4?

I'm also considering e46's as it would seem for my budget I can get a facelift m sport if I don't care about engine and transmission

that s class :shocked: gorgeous

That S Class is nice! :)

It's a manual 530i M Sport Marcus, the Z4 is still with me (still waiting to be turbo charged when I have bloody time!), the E39 is just for work really, picking up parts, taking heads, blocks,cranks etc. to the engineers and back in the Z4 is not very practical! :cry: lol
