A little bit random guys, but what is a 728i like to live with? i.e running costs, road tax etc. What sort of fuel returns are you seeing?

Looking at one for next year! Failing that, I'll keep my 318iS!

Since you mentioned it on facebook i've been wanting one of these. Always said that when im 30 im going to have a second car as a toy. The 4.4 v8 is the only choice for me though:-!

Would love a snarling 740iL! But for now I'm limited to the 2.8, but from what I've hear it's a fairly solid engine! I really hope to get one by November next year!

I want it! How much is the road tax on it Dabsy?

£118 - 6mth

If you are in the market for one, go for the facelift model... NO difference except for the thinner h/lamps n indicators !!! Last model was 2002 but I recommend the 1999-2000 year for safe road taxing lol... GREAT CARS

Just to add... The V8,V10 (and V10 Alpina (B12)) are the dogs nads but they have their issues (Except for the B12)... This is mainly due to the fact that BMW could never improve on the bullet-proof In-Line SIX potter, but still had to compete with the Mercs and the upcoming Jap crap !!

TBH there is plenty of power in the M52 2.8i and, as with all motors, if they're maintained well then it will gladly exceed 350,000 miles without major refits !!

I LOVE 'EM B) :P

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave, Just an update and I think you may be right. Went out and gave it a few revs when cold, nothing. Let it warm up and there was a loud “shoooo”. I’ve attached a photo of where the sound was coming from. Going to get it looked into but do you have any idea of what it could be? First BMW, always had vag cars so engine are a little different to what I’m used to

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave
