I love those old e38,s. It bewilders me how a company who made a car as lovely as that could replace it with something as brute ugly as what came after it.

Not just ugly but awful in every other regard as well.



The E38 and the W220 are, have always been and will remain vastly superior to the Omega, in distinctly different ways.  Personally I have no time for Lexus. Shitty plastic pensioner-mobiles. Like most japanese cars - try and copy the west and miss the point entirely.

I would be quite pissed of if those two weren't superior to the Omega, both cost twice as much and are clearly from far higher up the pecking order.

Personally speaking, the W140 is a much nicer car than those that followed. One day...

True, but then so in theory are the X5/X6 and ML... and they're not preferable to walking.

Those things are prone to rust. Badly. Anywhere the bodywork was made of steel.
It needs work on the body translates into Please buy it before the mechanical bits fall out the bottom. Please!!!!

For what it would cost to restore it you would be better off finding one that has been looked after.

You can do that in an omega........apart from the double glazing.

And if I could find a v6 that hadn't been to the moon and back (twice) and was dissolving before my very eyes or (more typically) both, I'd buy one .

That said, the Lexus heated/cooled/massage seats are something else. I've only ever been in a 430 but I'm guessing the 460 is similar.

It just needs a good service...     a burial service    Just somebody please buy it and burn that god awful steering wheel so it can rust in peace

Agreed. I'm getting past the boy racer stage now at 57, so a big luxury barge with lots of toys and reasonable grunt fits the bill nicely.
Still hoping to have an e38 740i, but decent ones seem to be rising in value, fast.

Yes im with that opinion . Ive always liked the old  LS400 , ok its not the best looking 0f cars but look at all the toys you get and those big comfy armchairs  Someone on here owned or owns one

Ign Coils are £140 each. There are eight of them. Their ECUs get upset by mobile phone networks... Just say no. Please. Save yourself.

That's been chavv'd up, stupid boot spoiler and other bits. 

[2boxerdogs]

Certainly looks nice & a good advert must be worth looking at , got to admit I use either V plus or BP Ultimate in my V8.

Yes that particular one does seem to have an odd looking rear spoiler ..could live with the rest , just an example car but do like the shape and whats under that bonnet
