    2008 760li V12

    Found a beautiful 2008 760li V12 for sale with 90,000 miles, besides obviously having a PPI done at a BMW dealer what should I be looking for at first to see if it's even worth getting? I know the maint/repair costs are high but I kinda have that covered between what I'm capable of and my buddy at his shop(he'll do anything on anything, LOL) so just would like a few pointers on what to initially be looking for when I go to see and drive the car.

    Thanks as always!!!!

    Nothing? Guess it's trouble free, thanks.

    I just bought an 06 760 and my little experience would be check the high pressure fuel pump purge valves. They're easy to get to and check. Fuel pump is almost $3000.

    Looked into the cost of both pumps and found lifetime warrantied ones for $1000 for the pair and have a buddy that can install for me....IF they are bad but I will be having a PPI done at a BMW dealer if I decide to pursue this car. It's most recent service was 3 months ago just waiting to hear all that has been done. Full dealership service history so I will look into all that also.

    Where did you find those if you don't mind me asking? I had a PPI done as well and mine started acting up after about 3 weeks. Just a heads up. There were no issues when purchased lol. Easy to tell if they're going though.
