Up for sale is a classic 7 series automobile designated as an E32 body chassis by BMW. I have owned this car since January of 2001 and have driven it and maintained it well. I have a black binder with receipts from all repairs and parts replaced. I did 90% of the work on this car; I am a car guy and a member of the BMWCCA. The pictures speak for themselves. This car is virtually rust free except for a scratch on the passenger side front door. There are no dents, just a minor ding or two, but none that are large. The interior is good for its age. I put real sheepskin covers on the front seats, purchased from Rocky Mountain Sheepskins (they advertise in all the car mags) a couple years back - $179 each. The rear seats are in good condition with no tears or scratches. Carpet in good condition with BMW carpet mats. The engine and transmission run very well. This car has 196k miles over its 22 year life - you can do the math. It is better to get an older car with normal miles that has been well maintained vs. an old car with low miles in my opinion. as the wearable parts have been replaced. The drive train performs fantastically and the V12 has punch when you need it. The tranny has never had any slippage and the LSD in the differential works great in the snow. What the car needs: the drivers window does not go down and I have a new regulator I will give to the buyer that I never installed. There is leak in the hose for the windshield washer that I haven't got around to and the upper pan gasket weaps, and the AC could use a charge. I think the brake bomb is getting a little weak. This is a car that went for $72k new back in 1990. I have a copy of the sticker from a 750iL that came off the line a month after mine to back that up. I would like this car to go to someone that will appreciate it and take care of it for years to come. It is truly a fine motorcar. Below is a summary of repairs I have made.
