2001 e38 740i M-Sport

Recommended Posts

Recently picked this car up: imported from Japan (thanks carwebs) with less than 43000km on the clock. I had been looking, and bidding, for a good example for the last two years so it was a relief to get such a good (so far) example. Genuine M-Sport with low-ratio diff, M-Pars wheels, vavona redwood trim, anthracite headlining, etc.

Previously I enjoyed a 1993 e32 740iL for six years (205000km). It gave me such great service (and with no major issues) that I felt emboldened to “trade up.â€

I looked at a 540i but I have a wife and three teenage kids so the 7 series is a bit more practical. Also, thanks to other people taking such a huge depreciation hit, they represent really good value for money.

Regards,

Graeme

Hi,

You can import a late model 2000 or 2001 (GH-GG44) up until the end of the year then regulations change again to make it impossible. The funny thing is that the engines in the 1999 and 2000 are exactly the same as the 2001 model, as far as I can understand at least, but weren’t officially certified by BMW as meeting the new (at the time) emissions standard.
