BMW 750i?
I'm on the cusp of purchasing one here in Oz.
Would be interest to hear of ownership experience- the technology/options on it are mind blowing.
Cheers Wattie

Thats a heck if a lot of tech....to go wrong.

But does sound splendid. I have had a few on rent, lovely cosseted drive but always made me think who the car was for; me or those who would sit in the back?

Tech can fail.
The hands free Bluetooth module failed in my BMW after the 3 year warranty and they wanted £800 plus labour to change it
I had to insist that the dealer go back to Germany for a contribution as I wasn't happy about the failure, it wasn't a part subject to Mechanical wear. They came back contributing 80%, but was disappointed the dealer hadn't instigated the possibility of a contribution first.

A brief ownership of an 850i before the Maser......it was my uncles and he gave it to me until he sold it as he had no space on the drive......great engines but if they go wrong then the cost is up there with Maserati

Thanks fellas, the car is full BMW service history and comes with a warranty option which is certainly worth considering. I'm only gonna be covering around 7k km per annum with the Mrs and little un in the back but fancy doing it in style.

As a side, the car is a "little present" from a crypto currency investment I made in "Ethereum" ETH. Bought around £70 about 3 weeks ago and it just trebled so pulled out the profit!! I reckon it's worth a punt if you haven't yet got some.

Happy days.

Cheers Wattie
