Hi everyone,
I've got too many projects on the go, so have reluctantly decided to sell my BMW 750iL
Car is located at my Brother's house in Southampton.
Mot until November 21st 2013
Tax til January 2014
140,000 miles
I've done a couple of videos for it:
It runs faultlessly, never overheats, cuts out etc etc. Brakes work perfectly, it steers fine, stereo is great with the built in subs in the parcel shelf (not mentioned in the video). Seats are without a doubt the most comfortable I've ever sat in, and the ride is like a magic carpet, it's a simply wonderful beast
There are two catches - Firstly the battery is dead - it had been sat for a few weeks, then the alarm went off and flattened the battery - my SiL jumpstarted it today and it fired up strait away, but the battery will not hold charge, although the car will run and drive perfectly.
Secondly the bonnet catch on the offside can be a bit sticky, so it can take a bit of messing about to get the bonnet open - it latches perfectly, just needs some more grease packing into it I think, or perhaps the bonnet stops adjusting.
Other Bad Parts:
Rust on the arches, paintwork's not the best, but cleans up pretty good -but it's a V12 uberlimo for under £1k, there's got to be some drawbacks
The central locking actuator on the passenger door failed, so it's disconnected and has to be locked/unlocked manually - I have a new actuator (from BMW) but haven't got round to fitting it yet...
The self levelling suspension isn't working, but that doesn't seem to cause any problems, and again I haven't got round to finding out why...
Fuel Consumption - it's not too bad - between 20 and 24 MPG depending on how you drive it - if you use the 'sledgehamme in the back' acceleration it drops off slightly
As I'm at the other end of the country (due to some poor planning on my part I won't be back down south for a few weeks) my Sister-in-Law will be dealing with the sale, so please make sure you have asked all your questions before turning up (contact me through my profile on here or call/text 07889 057 764). She will not accept offers on the day, as this is also to be agreed beforehand.
