The BMW e38 7-series is easily the most iconic 7-series in BMW history. This is a rare (according to Wikipedia, there were only 4,039 produced from '98 to '01, so this is likely 1 of a hundred or less with the true sport package) example of the final year of production of this BMW flagship. No expense was spared with a leather wrapped dash, center console and door panels, power front and rear seats, power shades, luxury interior lighting, wide-screen NAV (updated to last, most recent version of SW) and every other modern convenience of today's cars.
I am a BMW enthusiastand love these cars. I bought this car a little over a year ago and since then have:
What's left to be done? The body is a 7 out of 10 due to what appear to be a few golf ball dings from the previous owner, usualaging of rubber seals on windshield and other exterior plastic trim. There is an occasional clunk when shifting so I'd likely do the driveshaft u-joints since it now has a newtransmission.This is a CA car that had the 100k factory warranty and I have many receipts from that period. I believe I am the 3rd owner after the previous owner bought it from a physician. The radiator, expansion tank and power steering lines have all been done as well.
I bought the car with the intent of restoring it to near show room condition and all that remains are the dings, paint and some trim/seal pieces. If you love the classic lines of the e38 and would like to own a rare and reliable one (the V12's are actually more reliable than the V8 740's as they don't have the complicated VANOS valve technology), than you should look at this.
Why am I selling? I now have 7 vehicles... I was also seduced into buying a 2011 750i and am embarking on a Range Rover Classic Restoration. Although I'd love to park it and drive it occasionally, I just don't have the room for that many vehicles.
ALMOST RISK FREE GUARANTEE: Buying a car unseen off the internet is risky. I know because I've done it. I'm happy to offer a money back offer - less $250 for listing fees and my time/energy if you want to inspect the car and change your mind about the purchase. Of course, that will have to occur here in Atlanta, not after shipping somewhere.
