James Bond’s BMW 740i Year 2000 Model - The last model before the major shift in the BMW design! This BMW 740Ii belongs to my wife and she used it to go shopping. Pristine condition with not a single dent throughout the body! Local inspection, test drive and pickup available. To schedule please call: 305-776-5720. When BMW took a serious run at the top end of the North American market, in the late 1980s, the model they utilized to spearhead this paradigm shift was their long-wheelbase, 12 cylinder 750iL. It received mixed reviews; the chief complaints being that it was very expensive, and really, did not display the kind of power and performance that one would expect from a $100,000-plus automobile. BMW also had a V8 powered 7-series in the form of the 740, but declined to offer it in North America until 1993. Kind of a shame, because even then, the 740 had superior performance and balance and would have faired better. Almost seven years later, BMW offered the 740 in two different versions: the 740i and a longer wheelbase iL model. Basically, what separated the two is about four thousand dollars, forty horsepower, and approximately six inches in overall length. You could also have ordered a Sport version of the 740i, which has upgraded suspension and larger wheels and tires. Power is provided by 4.4 litre V8 with twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. Also found in the new X5 sport utility, this powerplant develops 282 horsepower at 5700 rpm and is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. The transmission is BMW’s Steptronic gearbox, which means it can be shifted manually as well as doing its own thing. A real manual gearbox would be very cool, but, even so, this drivetrain combination will take the 740i from zero to 100 kilometres an hour in under eight seconds with an electronically-governed top end of 201 kilometres an hour….or 120 mph, for those of us still living in an Imperial measurement universe. Brakes are four-wheel-disc, naturally, with four-channel ABS. Fuel economy, if that concerns you, is also pretty good for a car of this size…..13.8 litres per 100 kilometres (21 miles per gallon) in the city and 9.2 litres per 100 kilometres (31 miles per gallon - on the highway). Needless to say, the 740i has a list of convenience and safety features that would fill a book. Sixteen-way adjustable seats, full-zoot leather and wood interior, dual climate control system, power up and down windows, rear and side window sun screens, etcetera, etcetera. And you’ll be safe in this car as well, with dual front and side airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and lockable safety belts and lockproof rear doors for the kids. The 740i also has a traction control system for slippery road conditions and includes the optional GPS/information display centre, rear passenger airbags and a self-levelling suspension system. The BMW 740i 2000 demonstrated beyond any doubt that BMW has essentially perfected the upscale touring performance sedan. It’s got rugged good looks, ample power, state-of-the-art handling and braking, and is an absolute delight to drive. It may be expensive, but you’re getting a lot of car – the James Bond model - for the money.

There are no mechanical issues at all with this beemer.
