If only it had a nice beige interior instead of grey. At least it’s a light grey.

Crack Pipe to me.

Yeah... it looks pretty, but I’m not fooled.

Under that skin are going to be a bunch of wallet-draining issues if the car is going to be driven on a regular basis.

And this one is automatic too. I would rather have a manual one.

manual v8 is where its at. I am hoping I can grab one of these soon, I feel like the value is going to skyrocket with the new 8 series coming out

If only it was a stick, that’d be a NP.

I’d honestly go with the V8 over the V12. You give up a little power, but you gain reliability. In a car like the 8-series, that could make a substantial difference.

The v12 is much more reliable than the 8, and is both smoother and more powerful. It is the better choice, and I own a m62 powered v8 bmw.

Also, fwiw, beige is the least desirable interior amongst 7/8 series enthusiasts, presumably because they sold more beige interior cars than anything else. Makes finding a beige one cheaper and easier, if the color suits you.

Manual transmission for me please, although the auto box isn’t bad at all in these.

Crackpipe like a mofo at 15 grand though.

That’s not a Bimmer. That’s a Lagonda:

It’s an asking price. I could see $10-12k, but I don’t know what the issues are that would slay you if you actually wanted to drive it. I bet a transmission rebuild is $10k alone.

Caviat emptor.

Rebuilt trans is around $3-4k CAD installed, for the auto anyway.

Are you sure? Bench or installed?

A transmission in my ‘05 Impala, properly done, cost more than that.
