Black Betty - E38 750iL

Recommended Posts

Picked up this ol girl a couple of weeks ago, 1996 750iL.

Body is fairly straight and engine seems to be in good nick, however the interior and stereo are in need of a beef up.

Took a drive to Wanganui on the weekend to pick up some interior bits from @kulgan and hopefully soon I'll have the rest of the interior from a certain parts man here ?

Will start getting the door cards and dark components installed this weekend

Glad you got it all home safe and sound. Pity I didn't meet you while you were down this way. Perhaps we'll catch up at another meet sometime in the future.:D

Wow. That 740il is loaded with goodies. Black Nappa leather, picnic tables and vanity headrests. This is identical to the interior I just sent to the US. Very very nice.
