Buying BMW E38 728 – First, apologies for the delay in writing and sending you this review.
I would like to thank you ever so much for sourcing this vehicle and I couldn’t be happier.
I want to also apologise for being late on the day of the viewing and then running into the viewing time of the next customer on your schedule, I know it led to an awkward situation for you and thanks for accommodating us.
The car is everything that I hoped for, and better than I could have expected.
Earlier this week I was at BMW with my X5 for some maintenance work and asked them to take a look at the e38 (well they kind of suggested it because they wanted to get their hands on it). They then got 2 of their head technicians to look at it (to be honest they were queuing up to be the ones chosen as they don’t get many of the proper BMW’s of yesteryear in these days), and they spent 2 hours on it thoroughly inspecting the car, had it in the air, took it for a test drive and their summary was:
We are struggling to find anything wrong with it, nothing needs doing, nothing is leaking, squeaking or perished, no rust….and it went on…with only 2 minor things that they called out (slight play in the bush of one rear wheel, and the auxiliary belt was starting to get a crack or two) but apart from that they were so complimentary about the condition, body, mechanicals, and it’s an E38 with the bulletproof M52…
Both said if they had the money they would make me an offer that I couldn’t refuse and take it home with them.
I think that’s probably a better review than I could have typed myself given their experience in BMW’s and glowing report.
So thanks once again for such an excellent car.
I took it to the German Car Festival earlier this month and it attracted a lot of attention.
I do hope we get to do business again, my (small) collection is something I would like to gradually grow with quality cars of this nature.
