Vehicle Detail
This true M Sport 740i offers an impressive combination of beautiful design, luxurious interior appointments, generous space, and excellent performance. The $3,100 M Sport Package really makes this car stand out. I have owned other regular 7 Series, and they don’t measure up to this car’s sporty handling, power, and agility. This car is the last year of what is arguably the best designed 7 Series. The car has a classic look, yet it appears modern. The 4.4 Litter V8 engine is smooth and quiet on the highway, but explodes if pressed in a linear and predictable surge of 324 lb. ft. of torque and 282 true German horsepower. The subdued growl from the tailpipe is exhilarating, yet the car returns 24 mpg on highway driving. Despite its full size, the car handles very nimbly and the turning radius is an unbelievably tight 38.1 ft. The suspension soaks up bumps, but delivers sharp handling on demand. The interior is luxurious and roomy, with no expense spared in appointing this $72,000+ when-new-car. Safety? This car is made like a vault, and has one of the highest safety ratings. Check out some of the main features this car offers: COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE: Leather interior and real wood trim provide a very luxurious look and feel. Power sport front seats – heated with power headrests and cushion extensions - provide excellent support and comfort. Navigation system – upgraded wide-screen with turn-by-turn instructions. Can't tell the boss you got lost. Sound system – 12-speaker, 6-disc CD changer, and cassette player. No need to hire a DJ for your holidays corporate party. Park the car outside, open the doors, crank up the volume. Leather wrapped, sport, power tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio and cruise controls. One-touch panoramic moonroof Auto rain-sensing wipers Power folding exterior mirrors for easier parking in tight spaces, and passenger side mirror adjusts when parking to enhance visibility. Extra clean trunk with remote release. Keyless entry system - remotely opens windows and moonroof to cool car in hot days before you get in. Automatic dual climate control – handy feature if your passengers are always wrong on how hot it is. Cruise controlMemory driver seat and steering column – no more scolding from your significant other for changing the seating position. Power rear sunshade – get yourself some privacy, make a quick getaway, impress your passengers Integrated garage door opener PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY: $3,100 M Sport Package. We are not talking just some cosmetic enhancements here. The Sport Package includes a blacked-out exterior "shadowline" trim, Vavona redwood interior trim, 18-way adjustable sport seats, a stiffer M inspired suspension, Steptronic Transmission with higher stall-speed torque converter, and a higher 3.15 final drive ratio (versus 2.92). 19” tires on OEM wheels from 2007 760il Sport Wheels have minor curb nicks, but are absolutely true and sound Back tires are 275/40/19 Pirelli Rosso with 60%+ tread left Front tires are 245/45/19 Pirelli Rosso with 80%+ tread left Steptronic transmission: Switch to true manual mode and awaken car’s sport personality. Black shadow-line: Sportier appearance by reducing chrome accents to a minimum. Damping suspension control Upgraded Bilstein front struts and rear shocks Non-self-leveling suspension: Avoid self-leveling as it is very expensive to fix. Electronic stability control 4-wheel ABS Xenon high-intensity discharge headlights Fog lights and headlight washers MORE GOOD THINGS: Classy anthracite exterior and gray interior. No accidents, two-owner, never smoked in. Only 83,400 miles – may be slightly higher by the time car sells because I drive it occasionally to work. No known mechanical or body issues. Glossy original paint is smooth and shinny. Body-colored side skirts and bumper facias, which were previously flat black. Clear front and rear turn signal lights replace amber-colored lights. Few minor scuffs on rear bumper cover and one small scuff near door handle on front-passenger door. Professional buffing might take out these scuffs, as they are clear coat-deep only. Car is very clean inside and out. Final year of E38 sales with production ending July 2001. Car has no warranty and is being sold AS IS. I am the second owner, and have owned this car for 5+ years. I have had the car maintained by my personal mechanic. Note that repairs and maintenance for these cars are higher than average. YOU ARE WELCOME TO INSPECT/TEST DRIVE THE CAR BEFORE BIDDING.
