Description

Considering selling my 1999 740iL in Nachtblau Metallic with cream interior with blue piping.

Car is on just under 94k (will rise) and looks perfect, I’ll give it a polish if I get the time. It has a couple of small age related scratches but no dents as far as I can remember. Windscreen replaced last year with OE style with the blue tint, double glazing windows have no hazing or water ingress.

It is a Cat N sadly, owner before the previous owner was elderly and scraped the side of a Porsche SUV so both doors were repaired and repainted - paint is matched extremely well and it’s unnoticeable. While it was being repaired for that the sills on both sides were also replaced as they were rusting.

Has been serviced regularly, Inspection 2 service in 2022 and Inspection 1 in 2023, haven’t serviced it yet this year as it was off the road for a few months while I replaced the alternator and radiator (+ a couple of pulleys, the aux belt and a coolant pipe) so hasn’t done as many miles. Also just had the left rear shock and spring replaced at Auto Technik in Lutterworth (renowned BMW specialist in the East Mids) along with a wheel speed sensor while it was being MoT’d last month.

It’s not perfect so I’ll get the big bits out the way: Passenger door handle doesn’t work, I’ve removed it from the door card and you can pull the entire handle to open the door. Probably needs the door card taking off and some cables playing with.
The traction control, abs and another light will come on occasionally, diagnostics said it was a wheel speed sensor but changing that hasn’t sorted it, I’ll take it to get looked at again if I get time.
Airbag light came on also, I will also get someone to look at this at the same time.

Bearing in mind the Cat N and the mileage I’m looking for £8500 ono. I will consider PX with other beamers as long as they are petrol.

Reason for sale is I’ve just bought a house and I didn’t realise how expensive bathrooms were, I’m sure you can all understand lol
