FS: 1995 BMW 740iL black/black on FK coilovers, SoCal

[mojocoggo]

Just looking to sell, no trades please!

This car is my daily driver and has never let me down. It has never failed to start and has been perfectly reliable in every aspect. The car has a salvage title due to an accident in 2007. There is no frame damage. The engine was replaced with a lower-mileage engine one year ago after a spark plug broke off inside one of the cylinders, ruining the cylinder wall and all four valves on that cylinder. The new engine was completely re-sealed before going in, and was compression tested to rule out the Nikasil issue which plagued certain pre-1996 BMW V8s. Engines effected by this issue usually failed around 60,000 miles due to erosion of the cylinder walls caused by the high sulfur content in American gasoline. Compression is perfect (180-190 PSI) on all cylinders. Both the car and the new engine have been in California since new. Contrary to the "maintenance nightmare" stories usually perpetuated by people who have never owned one of these cars, maintenance costs are not outrageous at all. This car has been well-maintained throughout its life, and you can really feel that when driving it. All of the electronics are fully operational and there are no weird glitches or places you have to smack the dashboard to get something to work. The car is located in Temecula, CA and is available for viewing. Send me a PM to make arrangements.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but it's close.

[mojocoggo]

Yeah man I saw that thread, it was tempting but I really need something more daily driveable. That would be an awesome secondary car to have though!

I've been daily driving it since January! :D The engine has maybe 10,000 miles on it. I understand though, it could use a little more attention to be a better dd. Good luck with the 7.

Thanks, but not looking for FWD.

As far as trades, I'm looking for something in similar condition with coilovers and low offset wheels. Or something older but with a cool engine swap.

[breakout_z32]

You're on the other side of the country, so it's a bit of a long shot but:

I see. I just cant see spending that kinda money out of pocket for a 7 with those many miles. Yours is VERY clean and has been cared for... But I had an e32 740il with roughly the same amount of miles and it was the biggest pile i've ever owned in my life.

I'm just scared. Bad experience. Good luck. Its very clean!

[DJM AutoWerkz]

them seats got more crack then the compton streets have..

[mojocoggo]

Compton streets are about 50x worse, my oil pan and transmission pans (all 6 of them) will attest to that.

Still for sale! I'll consider a trade for anything that runs plus $4000.

[blatantforchange]

having any new issues with it?

[mojocoggo]

Nope, just had to do the transmission pan again because I am too stubborn to raise the car.

[drftem]

Can the rear coilovers go any lower? I think it might look a little better if it were level.

[mojocoggo]

If you remove the helper springs you can go another 1.5" lower in the rear.

[sparkyS13]

Sick car man GLWS
