Well I finally found it. 2001 740I sport package. 90k miles, fairly decent shape besides rock chips and a few dings. Only washed it and polished the tailights so far. Anyway here are the pics.

unpolished, notice the reverse light section

Nice find, those things still look classy even at 6+ years old. How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

Gorgeous car! Good luck with it. What are your plans to do on the paint? It looks good already. Nice looking interior too. Take some Leatherique to those nice black leather seats and steering wheel and you'll be amazed.

Again, nice find.

A little work and that thing will be perfect. NICE find!

Nice pickup man! DOHC 4.0 V8?

Very nice find. But man, those BMW V8s are thirsty!

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I really need to get down to polishing the paint but haven't had any time yet. My only concern are the number of rock chips on the hood, I may just have to get the hood repainted.

99blackse- it's actually a 4.4L V8

Simracer- I'm coming from a Tahoe so this will be way!! better. I should see in the 20's on the interstate so for me that is great. haha.

Puckman- I might take you up on that leatherique suggestion they look good now but I bet with a litte care they will be great. It's amazing how nice the inside of this car is for 90k miles.

One of my all time favorite cars

I love the 750il too, with the V12.. I hear that there are a ton of maintenance issues with those cars though, hope your's is better than the one's I've heard about though. With only 90,000 miles on it it should be good for another 100,000 or so right? Both the interior of the car and the exterior don't seem to be going 'out of style' anytime soon.

Nice ride! It's hard to find one like that. I was considering a 740i but couldn't find one in my area that was in my price range.

xtahoex · 08-29-07, 04:55

Thanks guys.

93 accord- yeah these cars do have expensive maintenance I guess you have to really want one not to be pissed off when things break. It should def go at least another 100,000. It was a different model but my dad had and 89 735 that he put 189,000 by 95 and it still ran fine.
