    E32 rare opportunity

    I have a very unique BMW that I would like to find a home with a BMW enthusiast. The car is a 1993 e32 740iL and what makes this car so unique, apart from the 66k original miles, is the full documented maintenance history from the minute it drove out of the dealership up to 450 miles ago with all work being done by the garage that sold it originally. Vehicle was never worked on anywhere else. I would say it is in almost showroom condition. I have all the receipts for the car from the day it was taken from the dealership on delivery. I have the original window sticker. Every conceivable item that needed to be repaired during its lifetime has been repaired. The interior is a 9/10 with absolutely no wear or scratches or fading on the leather. The exterior is perfect. No scratches, marks, rust or dings. Doors are all straight. Engine runs with no trouble and shifts smoothly. Photos do not do this car justice.
    The only issues I see with the car are, the wiper switch needs to be replaced. I have a spare one but do not have the mechanical where with all to do the job. The roof lining is beginning to show signs of sagging. I notice this because I am a bit fussy about things but it's not enough to warrant an immediate repair.
    I am selling it as I was planning on giving it to my daughter for college but to my dismay she wanted a smaller car.
    I have it listed on the classified section but I feel that this car, in this condition needs to be sold to a BMW enthusiast who will continue to maintain it to the standard it has been taken care of and feel that by listing it on the general forum it will get that buyer who may not be looking for a car but will take a look at this one.
    feel free to contact me at 737-999-1299 for photos and details. It's also listed on the e of bays....

    You should re-educate your daughter if she turned down a car like that......

    should move along nicely, put on Bring-a-trailer if it is really that mint.

    +1 on advertising it on Bring a Trailer. Interesting, low mileage, mint cars attract the right kind of buyers with the right kind of money there.

    Your daughter is smart and can use the proceed of the sale for a car more suited to her style. Some parts are being unobtainum and need fabrication, not ideal when you need to concentrate on studying, this is a more a collector's dream than a DD.

    I think that it is a beautiful E32 but I don't understand why it was registered from 3/13/2003 to 8/23/2016 which is a 13 year span and they only put 1k miles on it. If it was closer I could tell in a heart beat with the condition compared to mileage and verify it but I am not. I have seen these car go 200k and above and look as though they have 50k because they wear their mileage so well and there is no doubt that the mileage was easy to change in these cars if you know how or the person with the know how. I am not saying this is the case with yours. Good luck with the sale

    Thats a damn nice car and youre probably right it is a neat opportunity.

    I will say though, if you want to get top dollar for your investment youre going to need better pics. No hate, Ive sold cars for years and good pics do wonders.

    Car went for $6000 on the e of Bays but buyer balked after i contacted him. He was in TX and hadn't figured the cost for positioning the car. My fault for allowing '0' or ZERO history bidders bid on the car.
    Now looking out at it I may just put it in the garage and leave it there until I decide what to do with it. Bring a trailer does seem like a better option and I agree with the photo quality. If I decide to list it again I will get it properly valeted inside and out and go from there....
    @shooney, the dealership history shows the car as having that mileage. If you look around the car it is obvious that the mileage is genuine....remarkable as that may seem...

    I would dearly love to see a nice E32 get listed on BAT. It seems like a natural fit. And it's a GREAT format as you can speak with prospective buyers easily. But yeah on the pics. I've been lazy before and it just doesn't help the cause at all to do i phone shots etc.
