Thomay 4 Report post Posted October 27, 2015 the amount of features BMW crammed into e38s for that time 94-2001 was just ridiculous. Beautiful looking cars though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted October 27, 2015 I dunno that price might be pretty fair.... I mean yes 750iLs are around But these L7s are very rare, 899 build in LHD/RHD for various markets. That said, due to such rarity they can often be forgotten and not appreciated in the market place. My even rarer active hydro suspension Soarer 'UZZ32' only had 873 built, but few know what they were so demand is also low, meaning low market prices 20+ years on.

Breaker 980 Report post Posted October 28, 2015 Good old supply and demand, while supply on this puppy might be low, Im thinking that demand is in an even lower space. Rarity itself doesn't make it expensive Now if BMW made an M7 that might be a different story Still why would you only put 1 pic up ! Dumb 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kulgan 1042 Report post Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) +1 on the supply and demand. Might make a good a wedding car but I cant see many VIP's wanting to be driven around in a 17 year old limo. I'd be very interested in seeing what package it got in the back. Hopefully he'll put up some more pics. There was one for sale on TM a while ago and from memory I think that went for just over 20k. If rarity = $$'s then my 750i would make me rich. That aint happening though..lol Edited October 28, 2015 by kulgan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted October 28, 2015 750iL L750 Lil enough attempts but still didn't crack it.Its an L7. I wouldn't mind one but pretty far down the list of wants. they have VCR players crystal glasses etc in the back very well specced, but a 728i is probably fast than it, these have got to be pushing 3 tonne.

gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 28, 2015 Seriously considered a E38 728i at one point. Really nice-looking, well-appointed cars, and the 728i is (relatively) economical. At 100km/h, what is the difference between it and a 750? (Other than the ability to disappear over the horizon!) At the time, the extra flexibility of the wagon meant we decided against and stuck with our venerable 320d Touring. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Other than the ability to disappear over the horizon!)cant talk to the 750, but my 740 gets unde 9l /100 at 100kph, I'm stocked with that, lopping along at 2000rpm, easy as. Even showed 6.9 the other week during a period of nana driving, soon fixed that Edited October 29, 2015 by Breaker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kulgan 1042 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 I'm at about 10.5l/100km highway and a wopping 15l/100km in town in the 750i. My 740i is about the same as yours Brent. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted October 29, 2015 its a shame the 750 isnt techy enough to do cylinder deactivation. would get great mileage if it could shut off half the cylinders at cruise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
