Vehicle description

Model history:

In 1994, the third generation of the 7 Series, the BMW E38 740i, was launched. Of these, around 330,000 were built at the BMW plant in Dingolfing until 2001. A new eight-cylinder engine and an integral rear axle were used in this version. To this day, the 7 Series model is one of BMW's flagships. At the same time, this BMW model impresses both visually and technically. A distinctive body and clean lines give the car a sporty touch.

General information about the vehicle:

You now have the opportunity to buy a BMW E38 740i in the following auction. The car with the vehicle identification number WBAGF61020DG40167 was first registered on the roads in 1995. To this day, it has been driven on the asphalt by 5 previous owners. According to the current owner, the car was bought by an elderly gentleman who drove it exclusively with leather gloves. In addition, the BMW has TÜV until January 2025 and is roadworthy, but not registered. A checkbook is available, but there are gaps. The car has matching numbers and has always been driven accident-free in its current ownership.

Exterior paint/paint/body:

BMW's dark green manufacturer's colour gives the car a timeless elegance, which is further enhanced by the car's distinctive design. However, it should be noted that the current condition of the paint is neat according to age and there may have been repaintings, as stated by the owner. Nevertheless, these possible irregularities in the paint are hardly visible and in no way affect the overall effect of the car. Another impression is provided by the professional series of pictures.

Exterior rims/brakes/chassis:

A visually matching addition are the original multi-spoke rims. Hankook tyres are fitted, which are in good condition, the tread is estimated at 50 to 70%. Furthermore, the owner estimates the condition of use of the brake system at 70 to 90%. It should be noted that the BMW has been fitted with a new wishbone at the front right for the TÜV.

Interior:

Inside, there is a black leather interior, which is in an age-appropriate condition - as can be seen in the pictures. This is combined with wood-look strips. The black dashboard and center console are in an apparently neat condition. In addition, the sedan offers a lot of equipment that provides more comfort while driving. These include a sunroof, power steering, central locking, power windows, heated seats, cruise control and a radio. According to the seller, the air conditioning is without function.

Mileage:

The BMW 7 Series has already gained almost 263,735 kilometres of experience. This value is partly comprehensible through the checkbook. According to the information available to us, the last service was made in 2020. In addition, the owner confirms that all instruments work except for the PDC.

Engine:

A 4.0-liter V8 engine with 282 hp ensures first-class performance on the roads. An automatic transmission transmits the power precisely to the axles. The last service took place in 2020. However, according to information from the owner, wear parts were always replaced on time and professionally. The owner certifies that the engine is in perfect condition and states that it runs without any problems.

Subsoil:

As can be seen in the pictures, there is light and superficial rust on the underside of the BMW. As already mentioned, the front right wishbone was recently replaced and a new ABS sensor was installed. In addition, the rear roller blind of the sedan is described as defective.

All in all, a BMW E38 740i is offered here in an age-appropriate and orderly condition. The car is powered by a powerful and reliable engine. But the dark green BMW also makes a good visual impression.
