The 1996 BMW 7-Series that rapper Tupac Shakur was killed in is looking for a forever home but it comes with a staggering asking price.
We first wrote about Tupac’s 750iL back in January 2020 when it was listed up for sale through Celebrity Cars in Las Vegas for $1.75 million. The car still remains up for sale from the same Las Vegas dealer and with the same asking price. Will it ever sell?
Speaking with ABC 13 KTNV Las Vegas, Celebrity Cars general manager Ryan Hamilton said interest in the car has spiked over the past two weeks after it emerged that police searched the home of a man in Nevada connected to Tupac’s slaying. Authorities searched the home of Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis, the uncle of Orlando Anderson who was a rival of Shakur and long considered a suspect in the killing, AP News reports.

“We’ve had a lot of international interest, and those tend to be the most serious buyers,” Hamilton said. “It is a worldwide phenomenon of what Tupac is and what he did.”
The significance of this 7-Series wasn’t known until around 2017. Hamilton says that after it was shot up in the drive-by shooting that killed Shakur, it was repaired and then sold to the general public. The car was then sold multiple times over the years and first came across our radar in February 2017 when it was listed for sale at $1.5 million.
Celebrity Cars attempted to sell the car on TV series Pawn Stars back in 2018 but a deal never materialized. Evidently, collectors and enthusiasts are not chomping at the bit to buy the car that Tupac Shakur was shot in, particularly since many of the original body panels have been removed, meaning it’s essentially just a regular 750iL from 1996.
