Faded grandeur for three and a half grand. Feeling brave?
Hollywood loves a mash-up, and not just when a once-edgy comedian tries to talk trash about an A-lister's wife at a major awards ceremony. Topical humour, ladies and gentlemen, at no extra cost. But not that, I'm referring instead to those frequent cinematic attempts to combine genres or merge different fictional realities.
Actually, 13 years to be precise. Back then the lower reaches of the classifieds were packed with so much cheap brawn that a car had to be truly special to stand out. Which is what happened in June 2009 when the seller of a very similar G-Reg 1990 E32 735i was so keen to have his car featured he invited then shedmeister Riggers to break the.
Granted, the 208hp this highly-bred 12-valve six-pot made sounds less impressive to modern ears, as does the 9.0 seconds it took an auto-equipped 735i to drag itself from 0-60mph. But a top speed of 141mph was hardly hanging about, and BMW's M30 big sixes from this era are all charismatic companions, with plenty of mid-range shove and a cultured snarl when worked hard.
