READY TO MOVE THIS 740 SERIES TO MAKE ROOM FOR ANOTHER PROJECT THATS IN THE WORKS. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY 2007 WITH 113950 MILES AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE. IT WAS DRIVEN REGULARLY THE FIRST FEW YEARS BUT LITTLE THE LAST THREE. THIS CAR IS BETTER SUITED FOR SOMEONE WITH MORE BMW KNOWLEDGE AND PRETTY GOOD MECHANICAL ABILITY OF WHICH I HAVE NEITHER. OVERALL BODY CONDITION IS GOOD INSIDE AND OUT. CAR IS VERY CLEAN. LEATHER IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND PAINT IS ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION FOR AGE OF CAR. THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT ARE TYPICAL FOR BMW THAT COULD USE ATTENTION IF THEYRE CONCERNS FOR BUYER AND A COUPLE THAT ARE MUSTS. THE HEADLINER COULD BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SHADE FOR THE SUNROOF. THE REAR WINDOW SHADE DOESNT ALWAYS WORK SMOOTHLY AND THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR SHADE IS OFF BUT IVE GOT THE PARTS TO REINSTALL. THE SUNROOF IS STUCK AT 80% CLOSED. THE FRONT GRILLS ARE WIRETIED INTO PLACE. NOT ALL DIGITS ARE EASILY READ ON STEREO AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN FOR ABOUT THE LAST 20K. IT DOES GO OFF EVERY NOW AND THEN. IVE HAD IT TWO DIFFERENT PLACES FOR READING AND BOTH SAID NO ISSUES. MECHANICALLY THE CAR RUNS, NO SMOKE, DOESNT USE OIL, AND IS VERY SMOOTH RIDING. IT DOES GET THE BMW VIBRATION BETWEEN ABOUT 49 AND 53 WHICH SHOULD BE THE CONTROL ARMS. THERE IS ALSO A SHUTTER WHEN IT STARTS. IVE HAD CAR OFF ROAD FOR 2 YEARS BUT START IT REGULARLY AND EVEN WASH IT SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. IN THE 24K MILES IVE PUT ON THE CAR THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN DONE; WATER PUMP AND RADIATIOR (115K), ALL NEW FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS, SENSORS AND ROTORS, INTAKE GASKETS, SPARK PLUGS, CAM SENSOR, VALVE COVER GASKET, INTAKE MANIFOLD (ALL AT 127K), NEW WHEELS AND TIRES (135K). THE RESERVE IS SET LOW....NOT EVEN 1/3 OF PARTS LISTED ABOVE SO MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN. IF YOU BID PLEASE DO SO WITH HONEST INTENT. THIS CAR WAS LISTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND WINNING BIDDER NEITHER PAID ON MADE EFFORT TO CONTACT ME. I WORK HONESTLY AND EXPECT THE SAME IN RETURN. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VIEW CAR BEFORE BIDDING FEEL FREE TO MAKE CONTACT. THANKS FOR VIEWING MY LISTING AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING..
