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

Nice motor if you can afford to run it.

these cars are rare and worth it..

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 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)  :-/

Drinks like a fish maybe but looking at around £150 on classic insurance

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
