"VERY RARE FULL BLOWN 2001 AC SCHNITZER S7 BMW S7"
TermiPeteNZ posted a topic in TradeMe discussions
Interesting piece of local BMW history ... "This was once the BMW NZ director’s company car and .... was sold new for nearly $200k to BMW New Ze3aland Management and we have original invoice of purchase price and original manuals with service history." $20K with 167Kms on it... very well spec'ed. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1156064998.htm -
Have listed this on Trademe now. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/4344521242 Asking $22K but happy to take $20K. I have, of course, spent plenty more than this. 🤨 If you're a BMW enthusiast and a fan of the E38 7 series - this will appeal. A rare facelift (2001, Sept 2000 build) short wheelbase 750i that started life in NZ with the registration 'BMWNZ1' and has just 13x,000KMs on the clock - with 4 private owners including me. I bought this from an old business associate to save it after it was no longer being driven, and as a proper BMW enthusiast does, poured money into it to get it back in good shape. Now that I've saved it, I'm just not driving it enough and it should be somebody's pride and joy and stored in a garage. Came off the production line in September 2000 Orient Blue paint with oyster leather interior and M-parallel wheels (hard to beat this combo) 5.4l M73TU V12 engine with Steptronic transmission and hydro-servo steering DSC, SLS (Self-Levelling Suspension) with EDC (Electronic Dampener Control) Rear side airbags PDC Double-glazed windows (yes, really) Front and rear seat heating Rear adjustable powered seats with tray tables Car phone and TV - period decorations but maybe not that useful Hi-fi with DSP Hydraulic powered boot PDC I've got receipts for all the work I've had done along the way, including the significant mechanical recommissioning done by a specialist BMW mechanic and a full (but not bare shell) respray. It is a beautiful vehicle that's come up very well, but with its age, it will still benefit from some further cosmetic care. headlining sagging a big in the rear one(?) of the rear speakers is stuffed (these have a bunch of woofers under the rear seat apparently) missing right rear quarter blind If you want a stunning E38 where most of the work has been done already, then I'd love to hear from you. Lowball offers won't be entertained - I've spent too much on this and want it to go to a loving home

Collected this today.. was advertised on here with a failing transmission. 2000 540i pre facelift motorsport, ex Japan. Drove it 25km home from Cambridge. Transmission gave me no trouble at all, although I was gently cruising... Generally a well looked after car with plenty of maintenance including chain guides and all the usual suspects. There are a few things going on with it however, and I'll document its progress here as we go...

Hi all. Drain port in the ecu box got clogged and didn't drain water that got in to the bay sadly.. Had this car for a long time and really want to keep my e38 going. looking for these parts. I understand there are parts similar part numbers for to the E38 and E39 ECU modules but the ECU programmer told me it needs to be from an e38 as the e39 ecu is not programming well. The connectors should be fine from an e39 though I assume. Engine ECU Transmission module Engine ECU connector Transmission module Connector Fuse connectors for wiper. Others if available. Any of these please. In Auckland. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone and thanks in advance. I can't find any info about this online and I have a sneaking suspicion my expansion tank is on its last legs. The e38 728i runs a m52 inline 6 engine My question here is - Is there anything stopping me from putting an expansion tank from one of the e38 v8 engines into my cooling system chain? Is it too big? will it explode? is it too small? does it work differently from the stock one? I have access to a e38 v8 expansion tank and I'm thinking about replacing mine with it and I'm just wondering if this wont work. cheers in advance

Hi there. Christchurch based, West Melton. First post, member for some time when I had a 2007 335 Coupe but never posted and moved it on as I'm a liitle less able to climb in and out of them as I used when "I wore a younger man's clothes"!! Moving on a few years and I'm back where I belong. 2001 740i in Titan Silver with black leather. Had a 2001 in Anthracite with grey Nappa leather back in Aus but sold it when we retired over here just over 7 years ago. Regretted the sale ever since. Fast forward to today when I picked this up. Came down from the North Island. One owner, 88k on the clock and M pars factory supplied. All original paperwork with vehicle from Shelley BMW in Wellington, $160k new!! Absolutely beautiful with only a few niggly things to fix. Cheers Archie

Good afternoon all, I just have to tell someone. My new baby has left her home of the last 9+ years and started her journey down to me. I just can't wait. I used to have a 99 728i and I sold her for a 2003 730i E65. Wish I never had. So after 4 1/2 years of the E65, I am going back to the one car I have loved being in and driving. This time a 2001 728i in a lovely Steel Blue. Oh the fun I am going to have. I have already got plans to make her even more beautiful. E38 Beige wood grab handles - ready and waiting C pillar wood 'Porn Lights' - on their way Working on replacing the original 16:9 HU with the Avant4 headunit which will work with the DSP, and yet give me all the modern features, but look like the original. Bring it on baby Thanks for listening to my dribble. I just want her here now..... Rob

Hi, So I have a rattle coming from the rear of my 96 740i. It started as a faint squeak after using a gas stations car wash and disappeared after a 800km trip. Got a car wash a couple days ago and now the rattle noise is so bad I don't really want to drive it. Only happens when driving and not when stopped. I can make it do the sound if I bounce the rear end but no where near as bad haha, would anyone know where to start looking? I'm new to attempting to maintain my car myself, but have little knowledge when it comes to that type of rattle. ?

Bunch of random E38 parts for sale, mostly 750IL stuff. $20 for each part on this list. Postage at buyers expense or pickup in Panmure. IL Door Card Wood Trims - for all door panels plus left side dash trim. Light surface scratches, the dash piece has a crack. Still looks presentable I think. 750 Center Console With Unit - Don't know if it works, I replaced it with peasant spec center console to fit my radio. Cupholder works but is kind of sticky. Lower Center Console Wood Trim - Has a crack (see other photos for details). Comes with buttons pictured. Driver's Seat Plastic Trim With Adjustment Buttons - Tab behind screw hole is half broken but should still be useable (see other photos for details) Black Leather Armrest - No phone. Leather in decent condition, inside in pretty rough (see other photos). Cream Leather Armrest - Discolored, maybe can be restored but no guarantees. Has section for phone but phone is not included (see other photos). For more detailed photos of all items, see here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/98811558@N08/albums/72157664914716858

I need a new diff for my 1996 750iL. From what I found it needs to be 4.0 V8 or V12 215/220 type one, should be 2.93 ratio but I'll consider any ratio as long as it's the 215/220 type. Not looking for LSD, just want to get the car going. I'm in Auckland but have no problems paying for postage.

The e38 rear deck subs are 5.25 paper cones with an 8 ohm resistance - which aren’t easy to find. in my previous e38 I found some on Trademe where the paper rings had been replaced by foam ones and they worked pretty well. Unfortunately my latest e38 has the same issue where the paper rings fall apart and the cones rattle. Does anyone have a line on replacement speakers in NZ or who repair speakers? there are options in the US but only one seems to be well regarded and it requires modification to the speaker box. cheers Glenn

This e38 has been with me for over 11 years - that is how much I like it. Only reason for selling is I have found another one that has seen very little use..... There is a real spread of prices for the e38 so I am open to discussion. Given it is ready to drive anywhere, has a massive service history and is in pretty good nick for its age I am asking $4100. See the full description and lots of photos on Trademe http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1378753741&ed=true Call on 0275 638 320. Located North Shore, Auckland.

My e38 boot BMW roundel has delaminated and I need a new one. Lots of options on trademe but I don't really want to have a $6 badge fall apart or look like rubbish. I looked at Schmiedmann and a genuine 82mm one is 43 euro...... Anyone found a source that provides both quality and reasonable price.....? Thanks!

Hi All, So the weekend was depressing as the timing case broke on my UTE just before the rebuild (more wasted money and hard to find part)...So in my searches on the interweb i came across a local who had a gem sitting in his driveway ready to be refresh or re-purposed. Its an 95 750il w 162k on the clock, its missing a few items but nothing that i am sure i would be able to find here or from our sponsors. Its currently de-registered, so that's where i am un-decided, so thoughts would be awesome as when my engineer finds out about me spending more money on other things i may need somewhere to hide Plan:???

What kind of damage would I be looking at for getting the chain guides and VANOS seals replaced on a M62TU (replacing with Besian Systems seals.) Prices in the US seem to run ~$1500USD for parts alone. What's the damage here in NZ? Thanks!

http://bimmersport.co.nz/forum/47-trademe-discussions/ Makes for sad reading - dude found 'the right car', gave it plenty of love and tidied it up - but the wife found it to be 'the wrong colour' - so it has to go Sh!t happens!

Well my Sunday Driver got collected today. A 2000 E38 740i, NZ New 205ks Got it ex Turners for $2400. Using this as a bit of a track on the progress. Initially mechanics look pretty good, drives really well, no clunks or anything. Good service records. Interior is pretty filthy though and everything not done in a service hasn't been touched, like cabin air filters. Little stuff like having a Kabab stick, yes that's right, stuffed down the wiper blade to hold it in. The grill on the bonnet I found had no fixings in it when changing the blades, all lazy stuff Lots to tidy up, again looks stored outside and needs a Real good compound and polish etc to clean up.
