[email protected] 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 I also love the E38. Just not a common vehicle hence not much discussion. Agreed. I love them. Though one must remember they are a cruiser, not a sports car for obvious reasons. There are a few people on here with them however. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

39KiwiTouring 2 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 I like the old E32's something about that shape see one on TM for $1650 that white one. Considered a E38 but needed the extra space of the touring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle 1661 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Yeah can't beat E32 750i for features you get and price you pay. Regret selling mine some days, V12 power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) From Wiki, A different 745i was built for the South Africa market, because the turbocharger on the European-market 745i could not be installed in right-hand-drive versions of the car due to space restrictions in the engine bay (in RHD configuration, the steering shaft occupied the space where the turbocharger/exhaust was located on LHD versions). This car was fitted with the 286 hp (213 kW) dual-camshaft 24-valve type-M88 /3 Motorsport engine (with a Bosch ML-Jetronic fuel injection system) as used in the M635i, and M5. 209 of these cars were built between 1984 and 1986, fitted with either an automatic transmission or a 5-speed 'sport' gearbox. Of the 209 cars built 192 were automatics and 17 were fitted with manual gearboxes. BMW South Africa ran one of these 745i models in Class A of the South African Modified Saloon Car Championship, the only BMW-Sanctioned motor sport application in the history of BMW 7-series cars. I have one of these. Edited June 27, 2009 by Silver Fox Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always want one of these and ppl told me after driving it you would never want to drive a mercedes again...Is that true? Value for money +10. Features +10. Bonus points for the fact that it's a jap car. In terms of handling and braking my old facelift E39 buries it (the ES300). My current 2004 S class (in terms of features, handling, turning and braking) leaves both the ES300 and the facelift E39 in the dust. But then again this may not be a fair comparison because I'm comparing the flagship Mercedes vehicle to the entry level Lexus one, so maybe it would be better to compare it to a C class merc.

JBimmer 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) E32 750i is like my dream car hahhaha, I want to get one really bad but haven't seen any decent examples come up for a while, and they've usually done 200billion k's. One day.. Also second car I ever owned was a e32 735i which I loved to bits. When they're working they are just so nice! If anyone knows where to start looking for a nice 750i e32 and tips etc on what to look for please pm me! Edited June 27, 2009 by JBimmer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
