matt45 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2011 Looks nice (from what i can see) i like that color. The 2.8L is the smallest engine the E38's came with they are big cars so you may find it struggles a little when overtaking etc... also the bigger the engine the less it has to work to get from X km/h to Y km/h, depending on where you drive you might find a bigger engine is more economical. The NAV computer would have had to be changed to get it working in NZ (this isn't cheap so its good that it has been done altho it does look like the older Mk3 version). Defiantly do not buy it without taking it to BMWorkshop or Botany Motorworx for them to check it out (normally around $150 ... i think) because if something like the Electronic suspension goes haywire you will be digging quite deep to fix it.
