SOLD - 2001 E38 SWB 750i

Recommended Posts

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 :)
