Enthusiast owned Biarritz blue 740il with 141,xxx miles . In very good shape , has a dent in passenger door ( I have a perfect door that needs to be painted included ) Also rear bumper has some scratches , I got the car this way and never got around to having it fixed . Interior is in great shape , drivers seat/arm rest has the normal wear and tear . The front seats are heated and have the massaging option as well . This car was special ordered when new , and it is not easy to find this color combination .
Car is mechanically sound , I have fixed all of the usual e38 maintenance issues . I just did the valley pan , water pump and valve covers while I was in there . It has a small oil leak from the oil filter lines . Common problem , it's a couple of orings . I have adjusted my price to reflect that . These are not hard to fix , I just don't have the time at the moment . Timing chain guides were done by previous owner , and I have dropped oil pan every other oil change .
This car drives great , and feels like a dream with the new suspension . All new parts used , OEM or better . Go drive a few , then come drive this one . Here's a list of the major things replaced in the last year .
water pump/thermostat
AC recharge
new drive shaft
cluster pixel fix
sway bar links
Bilstein touring shocks and struts
New strut and shock mounts
Outer tie rods , center tie rod , and idler arm
motor and tranny mounts
valley pan and valve cover gaskets , intake etc
Power steering reservoir and hoses
All suspension and control arms , front and rear
And much more that I can't think of at the moment , I have a big folder full of receipts . No corners cut , everything done right
All the usual e38 wear items have been addressed . I would not hesitate to drive this across the country . This is a great car , but I have too many toys at the moment .Car needs a good detailing , waiting for the rain to go away . Will put up better pics when I can take some .... CAR IS SOLD
