Another very nice 7 I can't afford

SV with lowered floors, Sigma engine with throttle bodies and this one's a 5 speed.

I’ve just been looking at that one too

I really do need to sit in some as at 5’9” I’m a bit unsure if lowered floors would work

Those wheels looking utterly fucking moronic on it.

My days of not taking restomodders seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Charlie Metcalfe is selling a very nice looking E34 M5. £35k so I think I missed the boat on prices but that's cheap compared to the 285k km Touring for sale in Ireland.

I keep looking at this Jobbo. It's a lot cheaper than £35k and still has a decent engine

[Jobbo]

That looks nice Chris, and I don't think there's nearly as much between them to drive as the prices would indicate. Plus cheaper servicing on the 525i. If the sills aren't rusty I'd be buying that if I were you. It's more than I paid for any of my E34s but it won't depreciate now.

Looking at an Alpina B7 or an M760Li, the sensible options are 740d, Range Rover, Bentayga, S63 Coupe, all “better” on paper, but as I don’t actually need a 2nd car, but here I am, drawn to the v12 and the tuning possibilities.

The fact that I can list a Bentley as the sensible option tells you everything you need to know.

Do BMW still offer an extended warranty for reasonable money?

If not some brave pills needed on either of those

Not so much the exhaust, but how much better does the nose look with a colour matched bar?

Both approved - you may proceed

So much better!

[MikeHunt]

Difficult choice, even more so if they were priced more equally. I actually think that the v8 is more problematic than the v12.

Good point on the warranty, BMW make things difficult when sold via a private dealer. The flip side, is that independents are much better than the dealerships for anything other than an oil change in my experience.

My unique sense of style would push me to a current 7 series if I was spending that much tbh. Modern lux cars are so quiet and efficient that the big engine seems kind of pointless when you get the same performance from an I6 hybrid system.

In other news I’ve been trying to convince a mate to buy a V10 S8 and twin turbo it
