Took that V12 BMW home on the weekend. First thing I did was drop it on a set of OE 16” style 5 which came out on the E38 and E39 from factory.
Ride like **** on the 19s.
Old mate done a half arsed home made shadow chrome job so I’ll restore that. Has a bit of clear coat peel and some stereo and climate pixels aren’t working (typical E38/39 fault) but overall an ok buy. Cruise control 100k at 1600 rpm for the 200km drive home and the readout was saying 8.7l per 100.

Start a thread in the non Ford section - looks mint, is about 1/4 of the price of all the V12 E38 7 series here, they're all going for $20K+ at the moment.

My E38 735iL used to do 11.5L/100km all day every day on my typical commute which is 90% highway but I also flogged the crap out of it to get it to move.

This is the E32 with 350,000km on the clock:

What is it with 7 series owners and massive wheels, 16"-17" wheels all the way on luxobarges.
