Offered for sale is a 2000 BMW 740i, e38 body style with 180,000 miles. I have owned this car for 10 years and it has been a faithful daily driver for me until it recently developed what I believe to be a problem with the transmission. Unfortunately given other current demands, I do not have the time to fix the car and instead must replace it.
I have done many recent repairs, many of which are major and address many of the known problem areas of these cars. Recent repairs (in the last year or so) include: new windshield and cowl, brake fluid flush, replaced front and rear wheel well liners (these are plastic and deteriorate with age), new front and rear tires (8,000 miles on them), front fog lights replaced, changed transmission fluid and filter, and, of course, engine oil and filter changes.
Additionally, I replaced the timing chain guides and all that goes along with that about 15,000 miles ago. The guides are plastic and known to wear, so they were preventatively replaced. Along with the guides, all three timing chains were replaced, the VANOS system rebuilt, water pump replaced, all coolant hoses, radiator, fan shroud, heater hoses, water coolant thermostat, and oil cooler thermostat were replaced. The full OSV system was replaced as were the valley pan and cover, intake manifold gaskets, fuel injector gaskets, and valve cover gaskets.
I am asking $1,800 for the complete car and any extra new and used parts I have accumulated that are vehicle specific including power steering hoses, radiator, coolant hoses, and a Bentley manual.
I am also offering the vehicle for sale locally and reserve the right to end the listing early for a local purchase.
