1988 BMW 7-Series Description

This is a very rare car. Only about 240 735i 5spd cars were imported to the US. COMPLETELY RESTORED! The cool factor of this car is off the charts. I get thumbs up and compliments every time i drive it.
THE GOOD:
All upgrades are time period correct and i have about $14,000 in receipts in a folder. New paint, top end engine rebuilt and Turner Motorsport chip installed (43hp & 28lbs torque), AC System redone and ice cold, cooling system overhauled and water pump, belts and hoses done. All suspension bushings and control arms, Ground Control coilovers w/bilsteins, RARE Racing Dynamics wheels 17x8fr 17x10r, Racing Dynamics strut bar, 6000k HID euro smiley headlights. Lots of extras such as Racing Dynamics steering wheel from Italy(VERY RARE), lighted shift knob, short shift kit, replaced leather on drivers seat bottom, ALL dash vent actuators are brand new (VERY labor intensive). Killer stereo with Focal 5.25" speakers in stock speaker spots and Kicker SoloBaric L7 sub (sounds wonderful). Full original tool kit. ALL VIN STICKERS IN PLACE ON ALL PANELS. Extended leather center console and door panels from 735il. ZERO FLUID LEAKS!!!
THE CONS:
1. Steering box has quite a bit of play(about 14 degrees). Tried adjusting but no luck.(reman unit on ebay for $292). Causes car to "wander" and slight wobble.
2. Headliner is fine but the sunroof switch panel is done in a darker gray.
3. Sunroof seal needs replaced ($80 part). Doesnt leak but does have wind noise.
4. Paint isnt perfect. A couple very small bubble spots.
I really dont drive the car much. I can put u in touch with previous owners in CA and TX who did all the work to the car. Im selling both my manual cars (other is a 07 Z4M Coupe w/40k. SOLD). Bad hip and knees (i'm 53y/o) doesnt allow me to enjoy like i should. Im an enthusiast and own 4 BMW's and active in the forums. Car comes with a few boxes of extra parts and a full near mint carpet set. Feel free to call or text me with any questions.Evan 210-995-0210
