Title: BMW bargain?
Post by: omegod on 01 July 2011, 22:02:24

Been watching this 728i sport individual for a bit and it was on originally for a ridiculous £1495, I paid a hell of a lot less! , it has a lot going against it:

Needs a VIC ( £40) but the repairs( new bumper and spare wheel well reshaped) seem good enough, and the testing place is next to my work.

Got a blow on the exhaust manifold gasket which is a hell of a lot more accesible than a Miggy ;D

Slight misfire which feels exactly like a miggy DIS pack failing so I think a coil or two have gone.

Plus points are it is Alpina/ M - sported up a treat, it's pretty much mint and looks badass with a good history too. I will make money on it break or fix.

So would you have been brave/stupid enough? and out of interest, what would you have paid?

I've always admired that model too, before the insane Mr Bangle got his hands on the modelling clay in Munich  :)

Hope its a good 'un for you... :)
