Got to be the most honest and forthcoming CR listing ever! I feel for his pain, had an Alfa Romeo that
didn't drive me to drink...it just sat me to drink!
Finally shot it.

You're a disgusting human being. The 75 is probably one of greatest cars ever made, no soulless BMW holds a candle to it.

Wow, didn't know they sold a SWB E65 V12 here. Guess I'm just too used to E38 traditions.

Yeah I wasn’t aware of that either. I’m not a fan of that body style but I’d love to have that car.

A very rare breed of a car indeed; BMW M7. If you happen to have a weak heart do not click on the link below. Over excitement might cause problems to the weak heart.

13k miles? I have a hard time believing it to be honest. Being the first owner, he may have disabled the speed sensor or removed the original IKE-LKM-EWS until he/she decided to list it for sale.

VIN search confirms there haven't been any ownership changes or other odometer readings. I share some skepticism, but it seems weird to go to the lengths of driving without a speedo for thousands of miles or swapping out those modules with the foresight that they'd try and make bank off of it 10 years down the road.

Never said they’d go without a cluster all those years. However tey can grab one from any junkyard and perform a swap until it’s time to sell. Another option is a close relations with the BMW dealer. I had more minty seats in my 46k, 30k and 38k mileage E38s. Pretty much no wrinkles and completely matte. But it may very well be a true low mileage car. It’s just I know what an original 10k mileage 2000 era BMW looks like. I had a 8k mileage E46 M3 just last year.

The mileage records seem legitimate to me. I don't see why someone would attempt to preserve a run-of-the-mill 740iL this extensively with malicious intent. That being said, this car would find a much more welcome buyer on BaT.

Yep that looks legit.
Easy $25k car on BAT.

I haven't had the pleasure of a Model 75...My Alfa was a 1968 Giulia, Italiano-tuned daily, until she converted the horses into dogs, and finally slugs.
I got my grins, she got her deserved rest.

My ex-wife thought I was disgusting too, but she was bi-polar so her observations were erratic. And no, I didn't shoot her......

[rijhsing]

Is this a pretty common problem with E38s?

M Power badge in the engine bay aside, I feel kinda bad for the guy. The car was listed at $4k with that issue not described just a few days ago.

The Alfa 75 is a horrid piece of trash, with a scavenged chassis that flexes like a wet toilet paper roll, a horrid gearbox arrangement which makes shifting something that may happen occasionally and the worst electrical build quality in the history of Italian cars - and that's saying something. The least bad thing are the engines, which are shining examples of acceptable early-1970s technology.

Alfa made some great cars - up to the early 60s - and some decent ones in the 60s. Afterwards they're best forgotten. The actual best cars, those that made the brand, are from before the war... born and raised in Italy, BTW, so I have seen and driven a few (...) of them.

Yeah I saw that price before this issue came up. I’ve been there too so I can totally empathize with him.

[rijhsing]

165k, right on schedule...

I've been there myself. TCGs went out a month after I bought the car with ~170k in Feb of 2015.
My first BMW, too; welcome to E38 ownership!
Got it sorted and on the bright side it's been basically problem free in the 3 years since!
