Our Verdict
A rare, low-mileage example of the V12 B
Potential buyers should investigate the gap in the MOT history between March 2022 and February 2025 to determine if the vehicle was SORN or stored. Given the complexity of the V12 engine, a comprehensive service history is essential to verify that the mechanical components have been attended to despite the low mileage.
Negotiations should focus on the potential cost of replacing aged rubber components and perishables that may have degraded during periods of inactivity. Ensure that all electrical systems are functioning correctly, as these are common points of failure in luxury vehicles of this era.
The 5.4L petrol engine will result in high fuel consumption and places the vehicle in a high road tax bracket. Insurance costs will also be significant due to the engine size and the vehicle's age and value.
General maintenance for a V12 is considerably more expensive than for standard BMW engines. Between fuel, tax, insurance, and the likelihood of specialist maintenance, the annual cost of ownership will be high.
Although the recent MOTs show no defects, you should specifically inspect the suspension arms and tyres, as these are the most frequent failure points across the 1,044 vehicles analysed for this model. Check the bodywork thoroughly for any damage or corrosion, which is another common MOT failure reason for this model.
Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any leaks and check the condition of the cooling system. Given the engine's size and the vehicle's age, ensuring the cooling system is robust is critical to avoiding overheating issues.
This purple 1999 BMW 750 has recorded 98,982 miles, which is below the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history shows two recent passes in 2022 and 2025, both of which were achieved with no defects recorded. It features a substantial 5379cc petrol engine and represents a high-specification luxury saloon from the late 90s.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 85.1%, with the most common failures involving tyres, suspension arms, and body components.
