nz750il 3 Report post Posted April 6, 2017 Whats your price range? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francoisv 466 Report post Posted April 6, 2017 1 hour ago, nz750il said: Whats your price range? Depends on the condition of the car. $1k to $3k maybe $4k. There are plenty of body work mods planned, so if the car is in too gooda condition I may not take it. I'm just after something that has a decent drive system with no issues Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talk to Don @kulgan and he'll tell you the price, if he deems it appropriate for you to make an e38 aquisition. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm heading on honeymoon tomorrow for 2 weeks and then will be back and start looking for that 750i and hit up @kulgan for some advise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kulgan 1042 Report post Posted April 9, 2017 Been a while since I signed in. Looks like lots happening and I'll be very interested to see where you'll go with this. Given that I've liked all your other projects I'll be watching this one with interest. :-) You'll have some trouble finding a 750i as there were only 113 made in rhd and of them only 3 made it into NZ. But there should be a few 750il's floating around if you don't mind a few extra inches in the back door. Other than that there a a lot of 740i's that come up for sale and you shouldn't feel bad about modding one of them. I've wanted to something similar to this to one for a while now.
