how many miles

**MaximilianVO** · 08-20-2007, 12:06 AM

120,000 as seen in title. New engine and transmission.

Why did it need a new motor and tranny? Post pics when you can. Not a prospective buyer, just trying to help clarify...and I always liked E38s anyway.

Post some more detail regarding the "face lift" and new engine/tranny (I'm assuming a crash). Post pics as well, please.

Previous owner told me he replaced last engine due to sludge buildup fouling engine. Transmisson was replaced because it just stopped working. I believe something called a snap ring failure. Only facelifted because I like the way it looks. I still have the original 95-98 Xenon headlights in the garage. No accidents I was aware of. I bought site unseen. There are some minor imperfections with the body which any 10 year old car would have, bu nothing major. Never noticed any respray or previous damage. Car runs strong. Torque is crazy. When you get the sunday driver in the fast lane, you can overcome with ease.

Tranny had 0 miles when it was put in around 3k miles agao. The engine I am unsure of, I have a call into the mechanic who performed the job in Florida. I am awaiting his call back. I will get some interior shots up soon. Want to clean/detail a little first.

Sorry, would only trade for a short wheelbase 740 (740i) & cash. Would have to be Jet Black/Black or Arctic Silver/Black. Would consider also a project 7 that needed work obviously with cash also.

Anyone??? Bueller?

I dont see the "facelift" you speak of. I see the 99+ headlights but not the updated fenders. Nice ride, you might want to post up interior pics. Any suspension part replaced, ie. front control arm bushings, etc?
