If you've always dreamed of owning a BMW 7 Series of the E38 generation but never had the opportunity, then the car we're talking about today is for you.
Available for auction on German eBay, this 1997 Series 7 is an authentic time capsule, presenting itself in immaculate condition and capable of making many new cars the envy of many.
The reason behind the fantastic state of conservation of this 23-year-old specimen is very simple: he was practically all his “life” literally inside a plastic bubble. (or capsule if you prefer), with mechanical air recirculation, and away from any elements that could damage it.
Registered in 1997 by its first owner, an elderly woman born in 1927, it has since covered only 255 km. A short time later it ended up in Poland, where it was then preserved in this curious plastic bubble.
