Beemer 7 series

First of all the old jobbies E32's, 730/735's.
Oh can anyone decipher the badges/spec for me SE, etc.

Anyone had one, driven one opinions please.
All the toys must go by december so I might go for one of these.
I'll try and get some tyre kicking in next weekend if I can find a few for sale and give them a seeing to.

There's a film called The Transporter directed by Luc Besson which features the older model 750iL being driven by a career getaway driver played by Jason Statham. It's a great ad for the 7 series.

What about the film The Ronin.
Is that a 7 series or 5 series ??????

Back on topic, I drove a couple of 7 series but they were old 90-92ish.
Much prefer an 800.

I think Ronin uses an M5 BMW......

I thin you'll find ronin uses an audi A8/S8.

I agree. Audi A8/S8

Agreed, there was also an Audi but there was most definately an M5 to which was chased by a Peugeot. I think it was the BMW that ended up on its roof.

George, you do realise, buy a beemer you automatically loose the use of your hands, you become the point of hatred for countless other motorists, and you'll never be able to get off a motorway again cos you'll be permanently stuck in the 3rd lane! :lmfao:

Thanks for all your help you bunch of cheeky tarts.
Come to London and get carved up by a 7.
Mirror, Signal, Carve up, and bugger off is pretty much how I drive.

Oh dont get me started on Ronin.
"What colours the gatehouse at heifa?"
"I know one thing I'm not going under that bridge"
"I need something big that can push, Audi A8 with nitrous"
"The case drop the case"
Jean Reno giving a big 6.9 S class a good seeing to.
Somewhat ruined by De-niro looking like he's going to cack himself driving that 406.
Blinding car chases, blather, blather, blather...

Yep those are the ones I like.
I want something that handles and rides better, plus I think they look pretty.
Saab 9000 turbo is on the shortlist too but they're none to clever to look at.
Might change my mind on the handling if I ever get round to sticking the suspension kit on the 2,7, but it wont be long before I find the handling's not up to much.

dont get a 9000 we stripped one for banger racing (before we found out they were bannned for being too tough :evil:

) it was an awful car built like a tank though, my mates dad had a 7-series when we were kids mmmm luxury.
