Thread: should i buy another e32 730i?

  1. #1

    Default should i buy another e32 730i?

    Hi,
    Just found another 1987 730i. Already fitted with e38 rims and black leather seats. Nothing fancy on electronics. Asking price lower than local market rate... typical US$6700, but offered at US$3000, which is in range of 1983/84 e30 price list...

    While i already own 1988 730i, should i get this e32 adding to my existing e32?

    Just getting opinions...

    thanks...

    The question is what are you doing with that car in addition to the cars you have. I have the same problem. At the moment I have 5 E32 750iL, out of that 2 Highline versions under reconstruction, plus a Citroen 2CV Charleston with only 1.200 km on the clock in almost 20 years.
    I will reduce my car pool for sure. because I cannot drive them all.
    If I drive the Citroen, people watch that car, because the car is very seldonm in Japan, less than Ferrari.
    So ask yourselves: can you also drive the car? Or just buy it?
    Buying is the easiest part, maintaining it.....

    You wouldn't be paying more that £500 GBP for that in the UK. They are worth nothing. Tidy 1987 730i Auto is about £350 on Ebay.
    I have a 1989 730iSE Manual with 250'000 miles (400'000km) with black leather, OBC, cruise, BBS original wheels and I would say it's worth £300 maximum. I am looking at buying another one either to use as spares or to use alongside mine - i.e use the other one whilst one is being repaired. I am bidding on two at the moment - a 1991 730i Auto for £150 and a 1990 735i for £350.

    What I really want is a 1991 ish 735i 5 speed manual for £500. If I could find a dechromed 89/90 SWB 750i with a ruined gearbox for £2-300 I'd buy it and sort out a manual gearbox for it :-)

    These are prices. Have a look at what you pay in OZ for a half decent M30 735iL
