Exterior and interior regularly cleaned and polished. In addition to regular road tires on the car we are including a full set of winter tires and rims, also in great condition. This E38 model is a five-speed ZF automatic with the sport package; 730d, 740d, 740i/iL, and 750i/iL had a 5-speed automatic standard. The 740iL is powered by a 4.4 L V8 engine. The base prices in 1998 was US$66,900 for the 740iL. Fully upgraded the price escalated to $88,700. The V8 has long-wheelbase variants, with the "L" added to the designation. Features of the E38 7 Series include high-pressure headlight washers, auto-leveling xenon HID headlamps, power moonroof, a sound system with 14 speakers and four subwoofers as well as 6-disc CD changer and heated seats and steering wheel and rain-sensing wipers. Other features included an automatic climate control system with separate controls for the driver and passenger, a three-position memory system for the driver’s seat, safety-belt height, new steering wheel and outside mirrors. Front-seat side airbags and a Head Protection System (HPS) were also standard. The car has an all-leather interior with beautiful cherry wood trim . The continuous-motion Active Comfort Seat technology improves comfort and reduce fatigue for the driver and front passenger. When the E38 was phased out in 2001 to make way for the new E65, sales of E38s increased noticeably in the car's final months of production as people moved to buy the car before it was replaced. Used E38s increased in value as demand increased. Also contributing to the E38's continued popularity was its appearance in several films such as Tomorrow Never Dies, The Transporter, and The Game. The car has a midnight blue exterior color. Interior leather is Tan. Both interior and exterior have normal wear and tear however the car truly shows really well. Well documented maintenance history available. Further inspections and testing welcome.
