    1997 E38 L7 very rare, only 74,500 kms (Ontario, Canada)

    Very rare E38 L7. Only 899 made and as far as I know this is the only one in North America. Based on the 750iL, the wheelbase was lengthened an extra 25cm, all added to the rear seat legroom.

    Car is in excellent condition mechanically and aesthetically. I imported the car from Japan in early 2014 because of the low mileage and solid body and interior. Fully loaded with all the usual power features plus park distance control (PDC), electronic stability control (ESC), Mark III navigation system with 16x9 screen, rain-sensing wiper control, power headrests, and heated seats. Rear-seat features include HVAC controls, audio controls, dual vanity mirrors, fold-down mini picnic table, stowable writing tablet, VHS video cassette player and removable footrests.

    The V12 engine is smooth and powerful. The body has no rust. Air conditioning in the rear blows very cold, in the front blows mildly cool. No dead pixels on any screens. The paint is 7/10 with a few faded spots. The leather seats and doors and 9/10 with only the driver's door showing some wear. Two sets of alloys with winter and summer tires. Suspension will likely need a refresh in the next couple of years. Headliner is sagging in the rear.

    Work done to the car since I've had it includes:
    -control arms front and rear
    -brake pads, rotors and sensors
    -ignition switch
    -install Xenon angel eye headlights
    -support arms

    I love this car (and it is terrific at holding the baby seat in the back - no need to scrunch the front seat forward) but I've got too many vehicles and some of them need to go.

    No, because of your 25-year rule. Sadly.
