Vehicle Detail
The BMW 750 V-12 at just under 300hp gave smooth, raw power that made this car so fun to drive. My personal car for 5 years, carrier bearing went bad so I parked it till I had time and part to fix...6 months later went to start and engine wouldn't turn over. I removed several plugs and sprayed oil into cyclinders, but no luck getting it loose. Moisture in a cyclinder probably caused rings to sieze, so this is a project car. Tackle this if you or a buddy are qualified to take this project as far as it may need. Doing the work yourself, in your garage may reward you with a low-cost, amazingly fast and stable exotic BMW. Again, the motor ran fine until parked for 6 months, so no damage was caused while running, just seized up while sitting. Fast and solid, I loved to drive this car and took it everywhere. It got all the attention, oil changes and new parts it needed until the carrier bearing went out. I miss it, but am busy building a pizza shop and hoping to open soon, no time to fiddle with cars right now. I don't have the radio code, get that from dealer with proof of ownership, also don't have the factory CD cassette. 16 inch wheels, high-speed tires only good for dry roads. Body good shape, interior good (with driver's arm rest wear exception). This sale is pick-up only at 41179 zip, I can help load on your dolly. Clear title needs to be signed at courthouse to assure transfer out of my name for tax and liability issues. This vehicle is offered for sale locally and I reserve the right to suspend auction if sold locally. So bid to win ! And good luck.
