I'd be interested to see receipts for turbo (to see who did it & why & how many miles done since)..... Could be buying trouble. A 14 year old 250k kms 730d needing a turbo is approaching scrap territory IMO.

It would be a shame to scrap that for the sake of a turbo. That said i wpuldnt be expecting to see bmw receipts for new turbo. It probably got a used turbo from a breaker but if all is well now, its fair game.
My fear is that something like that might be eating turbos for some reason that hasnt been addressed.

Sticking with the 7 series theme but a more classic design. Wonder if it was spec'ed with the James Bond remote remote control? These things are glorious IMO

Always loved that model of 7 series. Didn't a regular poster on here have a 740i?

The last 2001 model year always popped up odd spec combos, I don't think i've seen a 728i before with double glazing. Adaptive suspension too which is nice.

What is a 728i like for running as a daily in comparison to 740i?

trellheim · 15-10-2020 7:27pm

a decent looking 460 nothing wrong with sticking thin rims on if you like that look

no mileage and no NCT hmmm tho for something that should sail through also inside not the cleanest and the mats look off . I used to drive LS's

Not a huge difference in the cost of ownership, if I was getting another it would be a 740i or 750i for sure. The 728i did about 38mpg, at motorway speeds, the 740 probably 28ish. Both are poor around town.

Which is why I'd like to see who did it, I'm not suggesting I'd expect it to have been done by BMW workshop.

Essentially I'd worry all isn't well depending who did it & why it needed doing.

Caught up with this barge today, plodding along 40 kph, smelt it long before I saw it, 08 S class, don't think a gallon of petrol and an Italian tune up would sort it.

If it's a OM642 then best case the PCV breather diaphragm might be split/leaking........... or it could be totally t0ssed. Looks like they are just pootling about slowly there on that road?

Would like to shift this in the next few days, Uncertain the way work is going to go so be nice to have this gone to a new home before we're all locked in again.

2006 W220 S320 NCT until Feb and its taxed until June!

Only thing I can pick out is that it should be in the dreamers thread. :pac:
Prefacelift 97 E38 with 136k miles in SE guise, not worth more than €2500 in my eyes.

You'd get a cracking facelift lower miles M-Sport 740 or even slightly higher miles 750 for what hes looking.

If the NCT is due 08/12/2020, I'm wondering if the NCT actually went in August, and the December date is the COVID extension? Because if it is, I suspect a lemon, or something pricey that needs done, as

Would say avoid, but looking at some of the other cars he has for sale, they're all recent ownership changes. I suspect he's buying trade/auction cars, and trying to sell them as private sales?

Old money V8 Range Rover with brown leather, €4k

Original Irish and only 2 owners. A rare specimen indeed

Mickiemcfist · 28-10-2020 9:45am

Youd often see the term "a credit to its previous owners" but that genuinely is. 25 years old and looks as fresh as most 2 year old cars.

That P38 has been converted to coil springs! Destroyed in my opinion. 4k for a Rangerover without that is awful. Also doesn't imply maintained regardless of cost. Those air systems are lovely and work fine if maintained.

I don't know about working fine if maintained, I was just doing a bit of reading about them and it is one of the few issues that crops up with that model, the other main issue being the head lining sagging which has been done on that one.

It looks to be in exceptional condition and combined with the low tax I was trying to figure out a way to get to Kildare until I checked the mpg, now I wasn't expecting it to be frugal by any means but 12mpg when it was brand new has me thinking about what jacket to wear for a walk on the beach instead of ducking and diving up to Kildare.

Main thing that causes those systems to fail is not maintaining the airbag springs. Causes the compressor to over work. Compressor is very easily refurbed too. Can buy a kit for about 15 quid online. Not very original if you remove one of its main features. But that's just my opinion.
