I am in the Chicago burbs and am going to sell my Oriental Blue 98 740iL with light blue leather. It has about 105K miles but the odometer froze at 93K.
The good:
1) suspension feels like a new BMW, compared to my 95
2) new front brakes and rotors with less than 3K miles.
3) fuel pump done 5K miles ago
4) engine oil changes with synthetic regularly, BG transmission flush done 10K miles ago
The bad:
1) gauges including speedometer often don't work
2) some power stuff (sunroof) stopped working
3) steering heavy at low speed
4) "Protection" windows delaminating, drivers window replaced.
5) some rust starting under the doors (car driven in snow/ salt)
My 1995 740 has higher miles (160K) and loose suspension, but I love its black on black leather color and it's speedometer and sunroof works, so I am keeping it.
I would probably take the first $1650 that came thru the door, I could ship it but would prefer a local buyer.
light blue leather? do you have any pictures?
