My business partner and I buy, fix, and flip cars. We had bought this beautiful, majestic, nice running car to sell it thinking all I needed was tires, some bulbs, and brakes to make it almost perfect and get $6000 for it, that is how nice the body, paint, and interior are not to mention a 740 is just straight O.G. and cool as hell. Unfortunately the car had other plans. The car sat for a while, the battery went dead, jumped it and now the transmission fail safe mode activated, check engine light is on, and it feels like it is slipping or not down shifting into first gear. I went no further with any inspection of the mechanical state of the car. It is drive-able but not happy and I have no clue what I am doing with a BMW transmission. May be some sort of electrical issue or computer control, I don't know but lets just assume the worst...like the transmission is bad. Since it is a BMW and it is a transmission problem it is outside my field of expertise. This would be a great car for someone who knows what they are doing and has the means to diagnose and repair it. If you don't know how to fix it and you don't know a guy or something you might want to buy one of the other ones that are 2-3 times the price that don't have issues. Any questions please ask, except for what is wrong with it ( if I knew I would fix it and sell it for a lot more). If you want to look at it that is fine, but test drive over 100 ft. is pretty much out of the question without deposit (don't want to have to advertise it as won't move because a tire kicker blew the trans completely). Trying to be as honest as possible. Not representing this as being anything other than a project, so please don't expect anything else. There is a non refundable deposit, please read the payment instructions. Would highly suggest towing or trailering to avoid any further dammage and/or make sure it gets where it is supposed to go, but once it is paid for do with it as you wish....at that point it's your anyway just make sure you take the car with you when you do it.
