In my opinion he was not the right person to drive a 750 and did not know anything and maybe was even ripped off in Hollywood.

Where does he get the figure of $9500 from?.......
Starter - $1100
Air Con - $2500
Coolant Leak - $2500
$6600!!!! He is making this **** up!! Coolant leak for $2.5k... Pour in some Bars Leaks, cost £1.50. Fixed. Air Con for $2.5k. Open a window - free.
I agree with Shogun, he doesn't deserve to own a 750. Will someone please buy this poor sap a Ford.......

I noticed that, and he also added a lot of things that weren't the problem... Sounds like he was ripped off many times.
How much do you guys, as experts, think he SHOULD have spent... That is, of course, assuming he drove it in a civilized manner and was taken care of before he bought it. (bought only after seeing there were no observable problems)

I would have bought the car, because it was probably in a perfect condition and "over-maintained".
But I remember, when he sold the car it was several times offered on Ebay and he could not sell it for the price he wanted.
Difficult to say what he should have spent.
Anyway, that website was subject to many discussions.
Just check on roadfly E32 board with the name Axel.

Alex, if you are out there I'll relieve you of this burden. The amount you pay me can be negotiated.
Get a grip guy, if the car is such a toilet why do you keep dumping money in it?
Do you really think anyone at BM gives a rat's ass about your elderly car that you bought on the secondary market? You whine like a girl.

After reading more I see this clown is a TWO time 750 owner.
Doesn't anyone understand this is a WEALTHY mans car. A tune up costs the same for the guy who coughed up 80 large as the bums like me who pay 5 grand 15 years hence. There is no cheap way to own one unless you fix it yourself AND have good parts sources.
This guy ought to buy a seventies Roller next, then he could really cry.

sounds like he got a bunk deal, lol.
Seriously though- it's a damn 1989 7 series v12 BMW. what do you expect to happen?
If you don't plan on spending money keeping a car going a vintage BMW is not for you at all, get a civic.

Totally agree with answers,if you cannot take a joke dont buy it.Bought one at Christmas in good condition, sold the air con pump and condenser for cost, pulled engine and ECU,threw the rest in bin,now quits financially but wondering what to do with lovely V12??! No,it will not fit an E34,but it is what Mclaren used,hummmm.
