Cheers, think i am now square again with the BM gods

Getting good at this lark....... surprise myself sometimes

Went out today and had a look at 728i Sport 2001 on a Y plate. It is Steel Blue with Grey leather, done 121,000 with full BMW service history, had 3 owners with first being BMW for 6 months ( think it was a demo) also came with all its MOTS and a file full of receipts valuing about £6500. Has all original handbooks in folder, 3 keys, full tool kit, first aid kit, basically totally original.

Fully loaded with comms pack, Sat Nav/ TV, electric sports seats, Full Mtech kit and everything works.

So ended up buying it and had a perfect drive home as was an Hour away. Been away from BMW for about 4 years now and brought back great memories leaving me wondering why i ever steered away from them ( had 6 BMWs in past and the only one i havent had is a 7 series).

So now offically a BM owner again.

Gonna try and load some pics so hopefully this works.....

was up for £2750 but got it for £ 2500 basically he had sent it to be valetted and the quality blokes there must have had the jet washer on full blast and where there was a stone chip on the front of the roof they lifted the paint slightly, so he was going to have it resprayed but looking at it i could repair it myself and if i make a hash of it my mate will do it for me for £50. so had a bit of a result as the rest of the bodywork is mint.

Cheers. Went to see it and it was just as stated, checked for the things you have said and it was perfect, not only that went on Timms Bmw site and he had a list of things to look out for, so again checked and all ok but as i was checking the guy brought out a file full of receipts, after looking at them the problems they can have was done last year, ie new rad and hoses, rocker cover gaskets, front mounts and bushes but basically had all reciepts and mots from basically new......Long and short is I have bought it and now own a 728 sport ( an original sport as well) 2001 on a Y plate, colour steel blue with grey leather, full m tech upgrade, with TV, Sat nav etc.

So very happy bunny, will get some pics soon hopefully. Cheers

Hello All, I have just joined and introduced myself in the newbie section. Well Tomorrow going to look at a 728i sport 2001 that if is as the pics looks immaculate, has 121,000 with full BMW service history, a file full of receipts valuing £6000, still has original tool kit with all tools, first aid kit. Also has all the original handbooks with all keys. So if as good as it says and looks i will have to get it. So hopefully tomorrow i will have a 728 if not i will keep looking. Does anyone know of things to look out for on this model, going to look at it at 11am so would appreciate if anyone knows of things to look out for. Cheers Dave

Hello All,

Have just joined and looking forward to getting some info when needed. Over the years i have owned many BMs starting with a 518i se on an H plate, then a 318is coupe on a L plate, then a 520i se 1997, then came the x5 3.0 sport 2001, then a 330 m sport convertible 2002, then my favourite was 530d M sport 2006. I have been away from BM for a while but still love them. I have a V70R Volvo 1998 which is awesoley quick but i am now looking for a 7 series, been looking at 740s but have seen a few very nice 728 sport on a 2001. What is the best option to go for ? got a budget of about £2500 so would be looking at 740s upto about 2000 etc.

Many Thanks Dave
