Vehicle Detail
BMW 750iL V12 Executive / Performance Limousine The ultimate Driving Machine. This black beauty is the best equipped 7-Series BMW which represents the top executive line of BMW automobiles with an awesome V12 engine which has been the base motor for the Formula 1 McLaren race cars in the late 90ies. This automobile was sold for over $100,000.00 when it came to the market in 1996. It has been enhanced with HAMANN Motor Sport Tuning components as body parts, brakes, suspension, and in the engine and does feature the HAMANN Tuner emblems instead of the BMW emblems; interesting to watch people trying to figure out what car make it is. The car also features the 2001 model year bodystyle updates. It embodies the most elegant way to commute and travel surrounded by pure luxury and style; even the dash and doors are wrapped in suttle leather. The original paint finish of the BMW Jet Black is still as shiny as it was when new and it blends well with the subtle black Nasca leather interior. It does feature an electronic controlled and lowered suspension which makes the ride either comfortable or sporty stiff depending on the setting controlled by the push of a button on the center console of the car. This car is equipped with beautiful chromed AKUZA 18” five spoke rims which are wrapped into 245/45-Z18 DUNLOP High Performance tires. Besides the front seat the rear seats are also powered and adjust the back angle, headrest, and lumbar support for your passenger’s comfort. Many other features you will enjoy are traction control, dynamic stability control, ABS, cross-drilled, slotted, and vented performance brakes on all 4 corners, sun shades on all rear windows, dual control air conditioning for driver and passenger, separate air conditioning in the back, Xenon headlights, fog lights, all 4 seats are heated, adjustable, featuring a four-way lumbar support, CD-Changer, Equalizer, powered windows, locks, seats, and steering, heated steering wheel, and much, much more. This car was produced in a limited production edition and is rare to find with this smooth V12 engine. The owner of such a collector car should either be able to do basic maintenance work on his own or know a good inexpensive European car shop; BMW dealer charges for maintenance or repair work are quite high on this flagship of the BMW fleet, The car just got new brakes & suspension on all four corners which would have been a $10,000 bill if performed at BMW; I did the brakes myself and had an independent local shop change the suspension. I also had the wheel bearings, tie rods, and lower control arms changed. The battery is about a year old. SMOG test has been passed this month with a clean report and no adjustments or repairs necessary. The tires are in good shape, the wheels do have no road rash at all and the paint finish shows only two slight dings on one of the doors and no major scratches, just some swirl marks. The car has been repainted in the front after I changed a bumper shroud which was cracked by one of these concrete blocks in a parking lot; you should stay clear of curbs and tire stops as the car is lowered and it bottoms out on any 4 inch object before the tires contact it. I really enjoy this car and it is hard to let it go as it has been my daily commute vehicle as well as our travel limousine which offers ample space for 5 passengers and luggage. As I describe this car as good as I can but the pictures or a viewing of the elegant exterior, the inviting interior, and the marvelous engine will be more impressive and convincing. The engine is running very smooth and strong with an also smooth shifting transmission. No leaks anywhere. You will not find a car of this age looking and feeling that new ! I am selling this car because it just has been replaced with a 2003 BMW 745Li (You see it in one of the pics) and I do have to clean and maintain 5 cars right now, which is just too much! I do have the highest rating score and want to keep it that way. For your own comfort level please look at feedback from buyers of my other cars and bikes I sold. It is a non-smokers car. The car does not need anything right now other than fuel and an oil change every 10,000 miles. Please note that the car is 14 years old and that there are certain things that can wear over time and need attention in future to keep the car is great shape.
