Hell of a wafter and good for a million miles with that engine.

I have developed a real soft spot for these recently. Part of me can't wait to get rid of the Z4 to buy a big wafter for the commute to work. At this price it would be reasonable to a lot of people to run this as a second (or first, whichever way you want to put it) car.

Let's hope the price of cars in this class continues to plummet into next year.

Since when was 80k moon mileage?

Enfield · 28 Feb 2009 at 18:39

Is that your car?

Housey · 28 Feb 2009 at 18:39

I quite fancy one as my B car when I get another GT3 but its the garage real estate these things take up that worries me!

Yours is a shabby SE, I wasn't advocating the prices were amazing. But those are tidy cars, dated, but still good looking.

Great, but then the price of shabby ones can't really be used to guage the price of mint ones, can it?

Janesy B · 28 Feb 2009 at 19:26

0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds! Thats a fantastic car for the money as long as you can keep on top of the running costs

Housey · 28 Feb 2009 at 19:37

V12 7 Series, as it should be!

Hxc · 28 Feb 2009 at 19:47

The one non-x series bangle creation I still haven't quite got to liking. It's the lights.

Thought that abuout the 6' to start though so I'm sure it'll change over time.

AmDaMan · 28 Feb 2009 at 20:37

BHP 445 @ 6,000 rpm, Torque 600 Nm @ 3,950 rpm :eek:

had no idea they produced this.

Do BMW still produce the 7 series? Seems to be the 'dog' of BM's lineup compared to what else they offer or am I very much mistaken?

They've just released the new 7 which does, indeed, look like a dog.
