Picking this up next week..
It's a 2000 750i swb in Orient Blue. 1 of 113 facelift 750s produced and only 1 of 4 out of the 113 with the buffalo interior
My friend in England owned it and when he gave me first chance of it I just had to take it. The amount of work he has done to it is unbelievable. So its really a thread of appreciation to the work thats been done to the car, rather than a traditional project car thread. I might do a few bits and pieces to it but I don't want to take away from its originality, so anything done will be easily reversed!
It's a 2 owner car with 67k, I'll detail the work carried out in later posts when I receive an updated spreadsheet from my friend lol. I'll be daily driving it so I can do more intensive work on the black lwb one I have.
Spec is..
Impressive spec on it. The active seat is pretty rare, it's an old school massage function!
I haven't seen it yet, but most of these pics are with the car sat on a bilstein B8 kit and eibach springs which he fitted and then removed for a new OEM SACHS set up because he thought the ride was too hard. Personally I prefer the Bilsteins. Theres one pic on standard ride height low at the back and high at the front! classic e38 set up
... I'm very tempted to get more B8s..
This is pre Alcantara headliner, hence the silver pillars
And thats my black lwb sitting beside it back in November when he done my headliner.
Updates to follow of work thats been done. Cannot wait to see just how clean it is!
