I was on facebook the other day and this appears so i put up a question swap for my renault megane estate its a very boring 2006 model that serves a very boring purpose, the guy get backs to say more details etc and now I'm the owner of a 728, it need a few bits mainly the wiper motor but also has a tiny dent in the door, my plans are well I'm in 2 minds , one is to go low on big 19s and dechrome everything a graphite grey the other option is make it factory fresh and make it 100%.

Yeah i know but I'm sure you can get them converted to digital its just an idea.
Any suggesting on what i should use to lower it without losing comfort?

Nice, these are a lot of car for the money. It'd be good if you can get the dents sorted and give that lovely interior a proper clean. If it were mine I'd keep it OE with only period BMW extras, a touch of the lowering stick and maybe some slightly bigger diameter wheels. BTW, those floor mats need to go, they are just wrong in every way!! Good luck with sorting the few problems it has, keep us posted.

The dents are on my lists there easily sorted just need to get on to my pal who works for a dent master, I agree the floor mats are so wrong they came from the previous owner I promise I'm bidding on a set of genuine mats to match atm, I really like the wheels it's on for some reason I usually want the biggest possible .

That's handy having a mate who can sort the dents out, it can be expensive otherwise. Genuine OE mats FTW!

Quick update ive used it for 2 days to go work leaving my boss to ask where there audi a6 is and jokingly threaten to take it off me i hope it was a joke i like free fuel. anyway back to the 7 and it has been running fine with no issues and the valeter at my office cleaned the inside which i will gets pics of and for free as well so I'm happy man. The mats have gone only downside is not fixed the seat so still driving in a funny position and cd changer stopped working need to look into it.

I was going to sell the 728 but 2 reasons i cant now 1 one of my kids has named it , i don't usually do this but its called bluey, 2. The 750il i bought unseen from ireland turned up and i prefer the little brother, i will start a thread on the big il but its basically already done has big wheels , alpina front lip its just 2 nice, where bluey has character i hope this makes sense lol. anyway bluey has been working fine since a new crankshaft sensor and ive found a new drivers seat to pick up which is manual adjustable so that makes him sorted well except for wipers that have stopped working
