That's a dangerous territory to get into. It can slowly take control of available space, unless you're OCD about it.
The chap I picked my gearbox off, had 3 sets of alloy wheels in one bedroom, a leather interior in another and the remains of an entire gtv in his kitchen...it really had got out of hand.
Even mines getting out if hand, I've 3 complete gtv rear suspensions, one on the car and two as just in cases

+1 , ive started using the old e38 seats as house seats and the rest of the interior is shoved behind a curtain so I can pretend its not taking up space.0 -

€2,650 asking price, so you got it for a bit less presumably?
If it's solid you got yourself some bargain! Well wear and happy luxobarging
Amazing that they faxed the car every week

it took me a while too but he "waxed" it every week
got it for a bit less alright, not much. It's low enough spec for an S class (no heated seats/memory seats), no rear DVD... but very clean inside!
hopefully can afford to keep it on the road now :pac:0 -
Twas a bargain already without getting a cent off. On the continent I'd say it would be worth 4 times what you paid for it.
Now enjoy refined luxurious motoring in style and smile (just to yourself) every time you overtake a newish Korean diesel econobox (costing its owner more than your S-class costs you)

I'd love one of those, albeit a 730d
If you are into e65 don't discount a 730i completely, ok you won't get the same hum as a V8 but performance figures are very close (especially facelift 05 on) and even closer at real world driving cruising at (xxx insert preferred cruising speed here) KM on the motorway. I follow a UK BMW forum one guy put 285,000 on his 730i with no major faults. GOOD CAR :-)))0 -
If all works out like I'd want it to, I might have a luxobarge alongside my E46 next year
Not going back to college this year as I didn't get any offers :pac: so no need for a terrible econobox!
Checked with some insurance companies and Aviva are happy enough to provide insurance for an E65 745i suprisingly.0 -

Why, do you need a donor car for parts? Is yours that bad?
lol, haven't needed a part this year touch wood, it's proving to be very reliable and three people I know who own E65/66s haven't had a moments bother either. Nice to have a parts car on hand though, but space, as mentioned, becomes an issue.
Prime example of Luxobarge value below from this afternoon. Between my car and the 760i in front, the value would have been €350,000+.
You'd get a hair over €15,000 now I reckon.0 -

Can you run on LPG all the time/ i read you are meant to switch on the petrol on long journeys- but I won't be surprised if Im wrong with that one?
Surprise! You're wrong
In most modern systems, LPG switches on after only a few seconds / less than a minute and yes once it's on you can run it all the time."Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

Indeed it was. About 6:15? That was you in the 7 so? I think I saw you on the bridge about the same time yesterday but I was on the bicycle then!
