Soldato
For a £200 car that needs a respray i'd be inclined to get a gun and a cheap compressor and have a go myself
Quite agree with what you say, yes, the later ones are technically better, but looks wise, the e38 has them beaten, especially in Sport or Alpina guise.Me to, I would be happy with a 728! Something about the E38, a great era for BMW. Solid build quality, conservative yet handsome looks. Every 7 series after the E38 has been a dogs dinner. The latest shape is alright at best.
"Somewhat"
I'd not be paying over £4-5k for an E38 regardless of guise now. It'd have to be a facelift though.
NB: forgot to take pics, just imagine an E38 730i in dark blue that looks like it's taken an acid bath.
one for penski to lower?
Well that was disappointing OP, epic thread just threw out of the window!
Only kidding, completely understand the lack of motivation behind it. If the bodywork was acceptable it would have been a good buy for the small amount of funds required to purchase it, but it sounds as if it will bring more tears than joy.
A real shame, would've been cool to see how many more miles could've been squeezed out of it.
