Just popped a note through a guys door who has had an 850i BMW 5.0 v12 sitting on his drive not moving for a good while, chancing my arm with a very rude offer but you never know do you.
Obviously something wrong with it but worth a good few quid as parts nowadays if goosed.
Missus will go completely mental if he goes for it but my boy like mischeviousness meant I couldn't resist ;D

Nice motor if you can afford to run it. :y

these cars are rare and worth it.. :y

Honestly looks ok bodily and inside but may have the nicasil probs with the block. Would be great to get it going but I would be happy to break it and get a profit over time if i'm lucky enough to get it.
It's amazing that some people just get fed up with a simple fault, let MOT's lapse so cars just sit there getting mossy, picked up one or two bargains this way.

I saw 1 on ebay a while back in worcester going for £4995 and i was really tempted for when the house sells to buy 1....... ::) ::)

I think it was just the V8's that suffered the nicasil problem, from 1994 - 1997 if I remember correctly (speaking as an ex 740i owner) :-/

Think thats just the V8s ;)

It is just the V8's,
the 2 sixes with a common crank V12 is as old as the hills and a much more run of the mill design.
Quite an underwhelming engine to.

90bhp at idle though
The 2 M3 straight 6 V12 was nice in the McClaren
