An update on Car #12 2001 BMW 7 Series (E38) 728i
Unfortunately, not a good update to bring to the blog but at the back end of July 2025, I attended a classic car show in Torbay of which the 728i was selected to take part in, we had a fantastic day with loads of people asking questions & admiring the condition as well as beauty of the car.
Unfortunately on the way home, she was involved in a crash where her brakes unexpectedly failed on a wet and slippy road and we collided with another car, the car slid and there was nothing I could have done to prevent it.
The car sat in the garage in a very sorry state while the insurance company decided its fate in the form of what category write off it was going to be and ultimately it was deemed to be a Category B write off which meant it was picked up and sent to the crusher.
So bitterly upsetting and disappointing, this ultimately lead to me purchasing something else and in turn led to the decision to sell the Orange Mini.
My first ever car accident and it had to be the cleanest vintage BMW.
