I want this 1996 BMW 750i L. Please send help.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
A V12 BMW for $2k that’s been sitting for a little bit. What could go wrong?
Pros:
It’s a BMW
Its got a V12
It’s $2000
Its got $8000 (new) Giovanna Rims
Cons:
It’s a BMW
Its got a V12
Its been sitting for a while
It needs some work (water pump, spark plugs, driver’s side door handle)
It’s pretty rough
It has 178k miles
I know this is the best worst first car for anyone, but it’s a V12 BMW, the stuff of dreams.

Those wheels are a horror show ... if you buy it, get the originals. And take it to a mechanic before you buy it. If it needs 8K worth of work, you want to know.

Actually having a V12 is a pro not a con

Not gonna lie, have a mega soft-spot for older 7-Series. From what I understand, though, they are mind-numbingly complex.

Sorry I can’t help you there. If you have the means you should definitely do it. Although id try to find better rims (preferably BMW ones).

Thankfully I still have some scrap of sanity left in me, so I’m not seriously considering it.

It’s both. V12 power, but parts are rare, expensive and only a select few know how to fix it.

I’ll admit, this isn’t directly related, but I don’t posses the powers to post on the front page.
It is however CL related and SEEMS LEGIT:

Those rims belong firmly in the “Con” column.

Can you fix it yourself?
Will you have parts budget available after the 2k?
Will it be your main mode of transportation?

The smoked tail lights and rimzz would tell me to run far away. But if you can sell them, and it actually runs okay...maybe? Don't pay $2000 though. Half that would be a good deal...

Good luck getting $400 actually. The market for those chrome rims have long since passed.
