based on the ad, i don't think any car from that chucklehead is going to be a good deal. sitting a year, needs a battery, and check engine light is on? i wouldn't assume you could drive that car away.

Wouldn't be the first car Ive purchased from a paint eater.

I want to hate this but the fact that they didn't put an LS in and instead put a Bentley Mulsanne engine in it puts it on my hate to love list.

the 6.75l Bentley motor makes 500hp in stock form. how did they manage only 330hp?

The website is shit of the company who built it in France but I found this video that appears to be taken on a phone made circa 1999.  It does not look or sound like 330hp.

Also, http://www.speedhunters.com/2019/03/made-in-france-power-from-britain-body-by-porsche/

Maybe it really is 330hp.

makes sense now. ad says from a Bentley Mulsanne, which when I looked it up started production in 2010 and has 500hp. the engine is really from an 1980s Bentley Mulsanne Turbo, which unsurprisingly only has 330hp.

Ewww. I assume they are storing it at the milorganite plant in Milwaukee. Why else would it be in Wisconsin.

I don’t know if it’s a 525i thing or an e34 thing in general, but mine does that too. Gas light comes on at 70-80 miles of indicated range on the OBC. The range seems to change with miles driven pretty accurately, so I think there just must be some correction thing that’s off. I vaguely remember reading about it once. 

It is super super clean from the photos, I just really wish it wasn’t a tan interior. And an auto.

haha yeah, i know. the gauge's scale is more exponential than linear. the range of these cars is like 350 miles, yet a tick above E is 125 left.

I love the color combo.

All those cars look super beat, but they are also cheap and have the Euro parts....

Seller is using Kelly BB to price? If so still low. $4800 - $7400 private party : excellent condition at $6200, around $4k would be high end of fair or low end of good. This one looks better than that. Maybe seller just wants out or there are mechanical "surprises"?
