This BMW E38 7-Series Costs $1.5 Million, Because Tupac Was Shot In It
We’re all for used cars with an interesting back story, but we’re struggling to get on board with this particular example. It’s a BMW E38 7-series, and it has the morbid distinction of being the car in which rapper Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in 1996. The price? $1.5 million.
It’s up for sale at Moments In Time, a memorabilia specialist, but despite the massive asking price, no details are given, and only a handful of low resolution pictures are offered.
At the time of the drive-by shooting which ultimately claimed Shakur’s life, the car was owned by his manager, Suge Knight. After that the 750iL was impounded by the Los Angeles Police Department, before being auctioned off. The bullet holes have - presumably - long since been repaired. The identity of the shooter remains a mystery.
We’re not sure why anyone would want such a grim piece of music/automotive history, nor why anyone would pay quite so much. Shouldn’t something like this be in a museum?

Realistically there was an intense east coast vs west coast rivalry between rappers. He might have also provoked some local gang members
I don’t think I can buy Tupac’s car, mostly because of my inability Tupay.
Tusoon, dont you think?
Me Tu.
damn man that’s tubad
Tup comment (I’m sorry lol)
Tu much money. For $1.5 million, I could buy Tu Hundred BMW 7’s of the same era
That’s a nice Camaro.
I don’t see why anyone would drive this car regularly. Whoever buys this will probably let it rest in a collection or any other sort of exhibit, otherwise would be quite grim
Tupac isn’t dead though
True, I saw him yesterday at starbucks buying pumpkin Latte.
Apparently he’s making a comeback for the Eurovision song contest this year.
How much for the wheel? No, really
When you find a used car you like but someone died in it.
When you realize it was a celebrity’s car
F%$ SUGE
2Pac is the realest legend ever, this car is a true collection.
These wheels look mint on that 7 series.
