It says 6.3L/100km there for the S400 as well

Must have been looking at the wrong one. Saw 36 mpg.

Edit: It gives 36 mpg for SWB and 42 mpg for LWB.

2nd Edit: Found it now. Carzone are still idiots. :pac:

Fantastic wheels on this, and LPG to boot. Pity it's so expensive.

WE HAVE ALREDY TWO HAPPY CUSTOMERS

WHO DRIVES SAME MAKE A CARS ON LPG.

No thanks.

Why?

Yeah I was wondering about the No Thanks also.
Are you one of the two customers?

You'd buy a car from someone who words an advert like that? Good luck!

CianRyan

So some's started out a business doing LPG conversions and for that you wouldn't buy it?
Seems a bit strange really, I'd buy a car on its own merits and not those of the seller.

Good luck explaining why you would say no thanks in the future as to avoid confusion.

It wouldn't put me off viewing it and I'd assess it as I would any other car.

What does someone's wording of an advert tell you about a car?

bear1

I think the ad is wording just fine. Not too much much and not too little.
Just no pleasing people sometimes

It says 100km on 13 Euro of fuel. With my terrible bad maths, What is that l/10km or MPG in conventional petrol equivalent ?

Was wondering the same myself.

The equivalent of about 3833mpg if you were filling it with petrol. Not bad for a 5.0l V8.

Typical diesel luxobarges are in the low 30's in mpg.

What LPG price are you basing that on?

No LPG price just basing it on there claims.

13 euro / 100 km = 8.6l petril (@ eur1.50) / 100 km = 33 mpg petrol equivilant

I'll edit my other post

I honestly don't think though that a 2003 5.0 V8 could get 33 mpg.

It won't, more like 20mpg but the equivalent cost to run on lpg is around 30mpg.

I'm sure if that was bought for 500 a lot of fellas would chance driving it til it was seized, not that I'm trying to give anybody ideas. Whats the fine 60 euro ? If you don't want it back ?

Given the less dense nature of LPG, the mileage per gallon would be less than petrol which would never approach 38mpg. Often, people expect a 10-20% drop in mpg using LPG as opposed to petrol. The point of LPG is that it carries a much lower fuel duty than petrol hence each mile costs less.

That's what I was thinking at first. But they mean in theoretical terms. Which took me far too long to figure out. :pac:

Jesus lads, less of the miserly fuel economy talk, this isn't a hybrid thread. More gas guzzlers please, lower MPG the better!

Would love to see how you'd do, writing up an advert in a Slavic language.

140k is absolutely nothing on a BMW V12

Not on the BMW engine, it will probably do a million miles no bother. Same can not be said about the ZF made auto transmission though.

Dealers and indies refuse to service these boxes so 140k could very well mean near enough to end of life for one. I wouldn't touch it myself...

Hey Unkel, fancy a new E38? And I mean new. 8k miles.
