Sharkfan Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 There used to be a fair amount of 7 series love on ye olde forum - is there any still? https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1535066 Very low mileage at c26k miles but for the £70k asking you'd think they would buy a replacement '5.7' badge for the air intake acoustic cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E39mad Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Well that is something rather special. If my numbers came up that would definitely be in the garage!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan-uk Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 There is a 51 black 740i sport i see occasionally. Looks bloody lovely. Always thought the e38 was a big car but these days its not. Really like them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncrofred Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 That is rather nice. With the kind of mileage I do, I could even afford to run it. It would fit in the garage too. Do you think they'd take a part ex.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E39mad Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I know it's an Alpina and that adds serious rarity value but it's still a load of dough when you can buy a low mileage mint 750i for circa £20k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkfan Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 I think a significant portion of that cost is the low mileage - this is/was a Japanese market car that was imported a few years ago and recently advertised/maybe sold... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-e38-Alpina-B12-5-7-E-Kat-7-Series-/134345896499?hash=item1f47a3b233%3Ag%3AOqEAAOSwwvhjhbKB&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoABAq5TnuvVq%2FNAdGGmzU3XETMUWGr2jGMQf3lSJA1NG5TMDsJcmYMaYGoZnKLHftQJ5Y0w4v81QYBkTLIiChVg6hjZkBUKwdLHpa4kccxvShdutTG1RTVGEz5R3NWviHov6g4L1wMcxAHicdsikXN80pk04Z8dsgtF1kQEVv9uM1Vuy%2F4br3eNu6MHnGbypFj%2F6ks%2BOJMP7dhCThcYpUe8%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-7MsJ-wYQ&nma=true&si=0gKPLJEXT2XKnkol3Q3WmL7dwXo%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 62k miles, £40k or offers and again restored/perfect but oddly missing the PDC system, and having a facelift front end some other clues to a not so perfect history - I have an E38 and you very much need PDC on these cars. A 180k mile car was sold for around £25k to Australia a few years ago... https://www.pistonheads.com/regulars/ph-spottedykywt/alpina-b12-e38--the-brave-pill/44063 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
