Calling all E38 collectors - 735i M-Sport in Welly

[TermiPeteNZ 1329]

~$6K so pretty cheap and very nice in silver but has an oil leak and some upholstery work required.

But I have enough cars... :\

[Olaf 3380]

so after buying this car, will I be able to play tennis, swim, ride a bike?

[Cab 148]

Cheap? I thought it was expensive

[KwS 2442]

i concur, it may be motorsport spec but its still only a 735i and one that needs work at that.

[TermiPeteNZ 1329]

Yep true - not cheap after the required fixing is done

Depends if *you* have a M-Sport mode!

Reminds me of a joke about a Irishman who wrote a complaint to a tampon company that even after using their product he still couldn't ^^^^^^^

Nice 7 but a bit pricey.

exactly - the vendor's trademe handle is 'tampax'.

waitt.....

how is that Mspec anyways?

only mspec on that car is probably the Mpars and the badge??

Looks to have body kit and wheels - can't see if badge is on steering wheel - the pictures are very crap. Breakers E38 740i M-Sport doesn't have the rear M badge and doesn't have Motorsport sill badging either. So I think it probably is a M-Sport...

[KwS 2442]

piss all, mainly the interior trim, seat bolstering, wheels, dark woodgrain, dark headlining, suspension, steering wheel, shadowline. apparently theyre meant to have a different final drive too, but this one doesnt have it listed in the datacard.

So 'tis M-Sport

Dunno what 175kw is like in an e38....

[Olaf 3380]

well, 32kW & 65-m more than an equivalent 728i, which can still be plenty of fun. #8 )

it's probably worth $4k of anyone's money.

I'm seriously considering selling my turbo brick.

[Breaker 980]

Nice drive, personally I'd hang out for a 740, but then I've got 2 already LOL

Certainly Mspec and my 740 Mspec definitely drives better then the standard. Not quite the same agility as the E39 was but damn fine all the same and more then enough for myself.

[TermiPeteNZ 1329]

Yes I reckon an E38 740i M-Sport would be mighty tempting!

[kulgan 1042]

How about a 2000 750i with M-sport package.

Colour BIARRITZBLAU METALLIC (363)

Upholstery STANDARDLEDER/SCHWARZ (N8SW)

337 M SPORT PACKAGE

775 INDIVIDUAL ROOF-LINING ANTHRACITE

457 CONTOUR SEATS, ELECTRIC. ADJUSTABLE

Prod. date 2000-05-04

[KwS 2442]

i would rock that 750i so hard. Perfect spec.

[Docile 64]

Damn. E38 just looks perfect.....

damn, is that for sale?

[kulgan 1042]

I wish. Just thought I'd throw it out there as the ultimate M sport E38.

I was going to track down the owner and see if he'd consider selling but never got around to it.

[KwS 2442]

Anyones guess whats wrong with it, but its damn cheap now. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1101052781.htm

Buy it use for parts. Would be awesome to transplant all the flash bits into a standard 740i

[Breaker 980]

Em, sounds like DME replacement needed.

Probably priced about right for mileage if nothing to major wrong, would need full diagnose check

I've been trying to view it (and then buy it), but the guy is pretty busy and hard to get hold of.

[KwS 2442]

guess thats why its still around then. hate useless sellers.
