An expensive car to fix. I would walk away.
140 mph,I seem to remember you being rather critical of people who break the speed limits a while back.  :) ::)

i would be inclined to find out exactly where the oil is coming from and the true cost of repair, i don't care what the owner says he is trying to get rid of the car remember, he will tell you anything.....

As for the speed, i will not comment on that aside from, if the owner had told you to drive in off a cliff to test its structural rigidity would you?

Remember this was 50k car IN 1997

Today its an old car that needs money spent on it, money that you will never recoup.......

you seem to have your heart set on it, for 5K there are stack of them out there, and many of them have been better looked after than this one by the sounds of it

If you have disposable money then go for it. But remember this is no ordinary car... it will bleed you dry if anything goes wrong. As for 140mph on a quiet country road... ever seen what a pheasant can do for your car at 70mph? It wrote mine off. So at 140mph... I feel you would end up with your head up its bottom!

£5k for a '97 7 series ??  hhmmmmmm - i wouldnt do it TBH - i am a beemer fan, have had 4 and hopefully gettin another next year - but that is too too much for an oldie- look around, theres is plenty around. - not so keen on the 7's tend to go for the 5's....528 or 530 but its personal choice  :y :y

140mph on quiet country road - rather stupid - tractors can come out of a field slowly.  I've got no probs with speed but 140mph - use autobahn or race track!

What an idiot honestly.

How can 140 mph down ANY road EVER be classed as done 'safely'

You are obviously not from this country mate but i will remind you that if you were caught doing that speed down ANY road in the uk you would lose your shiny new car and your freedom.

You got away with it that time I wouldnt risk doing anything like that kind of speed again if i were you...........

what if you're doing 140mph as you say, in a car you don't know, and you discover the brakes dont work or the suspensions knackered?

i think you'd be better off with a bicycle - we'd all be better off if you had a bicycle  :y

me too.. :-[

735 also is a very nice car..but not for city driving..

if you will go after BMs and if you will mostly drive in city 5 series are the upper limit..  7 series are too big and absolute problem to find a parking place IMHO ..

for the same price or closer look for 4.4 540  manual with sport package..

like this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-5-SERIES-540i-Sport_W0QQitemZ370111715433QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item370111715433&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318



anyway will not be different in consumption..

I am sorry mate but at 140mph on a public road, not even a motorway (and that would be bad enough) you are not in control of the car and if anyone or anyone pulled out in front of you without looking there would be a rather MASSIVE accident, which, if you were to survive, would result in you spending a very very long time in prison for death by dangerous driving and an even longer driving ban.

You should rethink  your actions and maybe start to respect the laws of the land a bit more.............?

140mph? On a country road? No way. Even a big, powerful car like that would need quite a distance to get up that kind of speed. You would have to brake well before you reached anywhere near that speed. If I were you I'd stop telling porkies check the speedo.

Everyone has gone fast at one stage, one rule I know is be carefull.

BTW could it be cam covers?

And I know of someone (ie friend of friend) who has done 190 on a good visibilty bypass with no junctions quite a few years ago. (Sorry don't know name - just that it began with a K)

i do 30 mph in 30 zone and always always piss english people off
b'use they donig 45 40  i do 70 in motorway and it s safe 70
and people from this country doing min 95 mph
i did wrong but dont tell drinving is perfect in uk u cant drive perfect in
right hand side ever ... i wouldnt get cought b'use i always do speed
limit it s for safty .i believe it ... if i ever go fast im stupid iam but
i know how only get myself kill not any one

Boll*x - on a quiet country road at that speed you, and anyone else you hit, wouldn't stand a chance!  Dead m8 dead!!!!

Hope i never see you on the road!!


farm road privet road in farm with no tree no junction just
land to one house in midle of no where like desret ... no public road i dont do that out side tesco  how the f****k im going to hit any motherf****k stop the blame

Calm down, calm down. (Best scouse accent)

Why do you think when I got involved said just to be carefull?

Everyone has gone fast at one stage, one rule I know is be carefull.

BTW could it be cam covers?

And I know of someone (ie friend of friend) who has done 190 on a good visibilty bypass with no junctions quite a few years ago. (Sorry don't know name - just that it began with a K)[/quote]

Kneivel.

Lets discuss the car, leave the rights and wrongs and wheres of the test drive, whatever happened is in the past and cannot be undone.

F13 does state he is careful in town and that to me does say that he wants to be responsible.

First powerful car - he goes fast, it happens, I don't think he will do it again.

735 will be very expensive to run, but you can get cheap aftermarket parts now, but this one sounds a bit knackered, either get it cheap or ask the current owner to fix it.

BTW my Dad is a retired ex BWM mechanic so I have come across a lot of them, with the earliest V8s you are better off going slightly older for a 735 straight 6 a classic engine and very long lasting.

Once again the bandwagon is overcrowded with the ever increasing number of holier than thou know it alls some at least hav'nt read Platforms post properly before all standing behind eachother & spouting off. Platform made it perfectly clear that the road he was on was clear ahead, no horses, tractors, 3rd parties etc. Either you did'nt read or disregarded that to get a cheap shot in. Whilst i agree 140mph is excessive & illegal. Some of us have competion driving experience on varying scales, most of you are motorists so what would you know? Many of you have posted your driving antics yourselves, me too.
   Lastly discretion dictates i cannot name names but i've been driven at similar speeds & conditions & felt quite safe. If i could divulge it would shut you all up but, sorry, i can't much as i'd like to but not my place to do so. I don't want to lose any friends i've made here but i can't stand what i see as bullying. as an 8 yr old kid i took a kicking off a 10 yr old 'cos he was beating up a 6 yr old but the 6 yr old got away, that's how i am, can't help defending some one i feel is being picked on. No i don't know the stetch of road in question but he tried to explain several times which fell on deaf ears.

Im sorry, but I don't agree. At 140mph you are travelling at over 1 mile every 30 seconds so how can someone be certain the road is clear and there is no one or nothing around, it was on a country road so was either an A or worse B road and knowing what state this countries roads are in at 140mph a hole or dip in the road could easily unbalance the car. Add to this he was in an unfamiliar car, possibly on an unfamiliar road and uncertain about the cars condition, I think he's lucky he's not on the news at 10.
I will admit to breaking the speed limit myself on many occassions and on country lanes, but never anywhere near 140mph.

No one is being holier than thou mate but can you defend someone who has openly stated he was doing 140mph on a public country lane..............???

Didnt think so.........

And so what there was 'nothing coming'.....all it takes is someone to pull out or cross the road without seeing an idiot travelling at warp factor down a lane.....

One day this guy will have a BIG BIG accident and I hope its only himself that gets injured or worse as a result of his stupidity.

I dont see a problem with travilling at any particular speed IF the conditions and skill level etc; allow. not talking about the legal situation just the fact that if a road is long/straight/empty/dry enough then we shouldnt be hanging people for it.
He didnt mention anything about a country "lane". As an example,if anyone knows the road outside Sudbury going towards Bury st. Edmunds there is a section which is straight as an arrow and over half a mile long which could possibly be classed as a country road (fields either side etc,) where speeds such as this could be achieved,say early on a summers sunday morning.

ok..let me briefly explain what happened..

the debate has gone far off the subject..

some members one after another start to give lessons to drive slow..

and I am sure nobody here is miss Daisy..I remember many threads

debating their cars upper limit here..

and if 2-3-4 persons tell the same one after another its enough..and Enough is enough..

have you ever seen somebody drive slow because you tell slow..

And style is sometimes more important than what you say

actually..

Now look where the subject reached.. This is an international form

and I dont think whats written here is nice..


And F13

the war and results have no relation with the people here..

its the result of decisions made by politicians..So dont blame them

guilty..
