Hi all, this is no a NO RESERVE auction. You may have seen the car listed last week, but the previous high bidder only wanted to pay via PayPal and backed out without even looking at the car. Serious bidders only please, cashier's check only and note there is a $250 non-refundable deposit required. But as you'll see further below, that is your the extent of your risk if you inspect the car locally and decide you do not want it for any reason. BMW e38 750iL Background:The BMW e38 7-series is easily the most iconic 7-series in BMW history. This is a rare, from the factory sport package, (according to Wikipedia, there were only 4,039 produced from '98 to '01, so this is likely 1 of a hundred or less with the true sport package '01's) example of the final year of production of this BMW flagship. No expense was spared with a leather wrapped dash, center console and door panels, power front and rear seats, power shades, luxury interior lighting, wide-screen NAV (updated to last, most recent version of SW) and every other modern convenience of today's cars. Car Condition:I am a BMW enthusiast and love these cars. I bought this car a year and a half ago here on eBay... Unfortunately, the previous owner did not disclose a check engine light issue which turned out to be the torque converter. Since then I have:had the leather cleaned and dyed, sent the instrument cluster out to repair dead pixels,replaced headliner, refinished/painted all 4 wheels,had the transmission rebuilt by a BMW specialist here in Atlanta, upgraded speakers to Bavarian Soundwerks (Bavsound), upgraded Bluetooth module (works with current iPhones), replaced rear differential with 740i sport for more low end torque, and fixed any other item I could find wrong. All electronics work (e.g., seats, widows, shades, etc.), no check engine lights and the engine runs strong with a fresh synthetic oil change. The previous owner lived in CA and had purchased the car from a physician and it had the 100k factory warranty. I have many receipts under that for things like replacing the radiator, expansion tank and power steering lines. What's left to be done?The interior is a 9 out of 10 with no rips, tears or fading. The body is a 7 out of 10 due to what appears to be a golf ball ding and a handful of smaller dings from the previous owner. There is also the usual aging of rubber seals on windshield and other exterior plastic trim. I am the 3rd owner after the previous owner bought it from a physician. I bought the car with the intent of restoring it to near show room condition and all that remains is the dings, paint and some trim/seal pieces. If you love the classic lines of the e38 and would like to own a rare and reliable one (the V12's are actually more reliable than the V8 740's as they don't have the complicated VANOS valve technology), than you should look at this. Why am I selling? I now have 7 vehicles... I was seduced into buying a 2011 750i and am also embarking on a Range Rover Classic Restoration. Although I'd love to park it and drive it occasionally, I just don't have the room for that many vehicles. I purchased the vehicle for $7,500 and have since invested almost $4,000 for which I have receipts. Please email if you'd like any extra pictures or have questions. ALMOST RISK FREE GUARANTEE: Buying a car unseen off the internet is risky. I know because I've done it. I'm happy to provide a money back offer - less $250 for listing fees and my time/energy if you decide you don't want the car after viewing it or having it inspected locally. Of course, that will have to occur here in Atlanta, not after shipping somewhere.
