Last Saturday a reader pointed out the 12 cylinder BMW 760 I wrote about in July (and is still for sale here in California!) may be a dying breed unicorn for CarMax and I was ready to agree with him, when this second one – a 2013 with low miles – surfaced in Louisville, Kentucky the very same day (details at the bottom of this post). This white one is way nicer, with lower miles and well-appointed – so much so that the car opened at $40,998 on September 21st, and when I decided to blog today I see it’s gone up $1,000 in price. That’s rare, but not unheard of. I watched one unicorn increase in price several times by a thousand or two over the course of a week. Oddly, the higher mileage 2013 in California only dropped once in price by a thousand since July, and is still out there. In all cases, you’re either a fool, filthy rich, or a BMW mechanic yourself if you buy these cars without the bulletproof MaxCare bumper-to-bumper warranty! No offense.
My simple test for options on BMW’s of this era? Check out the bank of buttons on the left of the steering wheel. Five slots. The now $41,998 / 46,000 mile 2013 BMW 760 is on the left above, the $36,998 / 57,000 mile 2013 BMW 760 on the right. The only thing missing is BMW Night Vision on the right. I don’t know why I need night vision – carry Navy SEALS on a raid? Run moonshine and evade the cops (it is a Kentucky car, after all)? But once I saw how it worked on a Mercedes S600 I wanted it. My next car will have it. Anyway, the guide to the features is below, in case you were wondering.
Take a look at the 2013 BMW 760Li beauty with all the options here, in Louisville, Kentucky. If the link is dead the car is sold, on hold, or being transferred. I’ll bet it sells before the $36,998 one!
