1995 E38 740i for sale or swap

Recommended Posts

After six years it has come time for me to part with my E38.

Year: 1995

Mileage: 220K

Details:

  • Ex Singapore import but been in New Zealand since 2000

  • Extensive maintenance since I've owned it, but it wasn't treated well before I bought it

  • Replaced engine at 175K with one that had done 95K

  • New radiator and expansion tank at 175k (guess what happened to the old engine :ph34r:)

  • 18" Style 32 Alloys in Black also comes with 4 x original Style 25 16"

  • Extended leather option in grey - centre console and door cards in leather like a 750il also comes with spare front and rear seats

  • Control arms, bushings etc replaced about 10,000 kms ago

  • New drive shaft bushes

  • Mechanically sound but the body has dings, dents and scars from 19 years of parking battles. The worst is a crack on the back bumper.

  • Interior could do with a decent detail, not tears or rips, but it is grubby

  • The OBC in the centre console has started to lose pixels. I have a spare OBC and ribbon if you want to fix it.

  • Removable tow bar

  • LED tail lights
  • AC Schnitzer side skirts

It has been a generally dependable old friend but I have purchased a new car and my wife says that three BMWs is one too many.

I'm looking for around $3,500

Hi there, would you consider swapping for a 1994 E34 525i? Has around 155000km and I am the second owner. In very good condition considering the age.

Maybe. Can you post up some photos? NZ new or imported?

Grave digging bump.

It's time for me to face facts, it's no longer practical for me to keep my E38. I haven't driven it in a year and with another car on the way I really need the garage space.

So $1500 ono for Bimmersport members.

It's developed a few foibles since sitting, mainly the Airbag light comes on due to the passenger seat sensor. I have a spare passenger seat. And will probably need a new battery as the trickle charger hasn't been kind to it.

You should start a refuge for neglected 7s. That way I can say that my e38 went to a wonderful home full of frolicking e38s where it will enjoy a pampered retirement.
