Comments from the seller
Possibly the best spec E38 735iL in the courntry, rare blue metallic paint with black skirting. An ex CEO's car, went to a german car collector and then me (3rd owner), kept garaged and looked after throughout and hence the excellent condition.
A dream for german car lovers and those of a mechanical persuasion, E38 enthusiasts, who want to grab an icon to use as a DIY indulgence. No tints, M badge 5 parallell spoke wheels with wider back tires. Runs smooth and purrs like a cat, power and accelaration on the trot, 8L to the 100k on the freeway (gosh !!) with all electornics fully functional. Low milaege 138k only !!
A luxury sedan legend with 12 airbags (unheard of in that day), 6 CD changer, volume control on wheel, superb space and comfort. The class and style of this car, recognised as the most beautiful 7 series ever built, is unmatched. A true head turner as many folks today have never even seen one !!
Heeps of preventative maintenance done over the 6 years of ownership, not enough space to write it but here goes, close to $20k spent for the purpose :
rear accumulators
rear wheel speed sensors
diff oil
brakes and discs
parking brake and boot struts
roof liner
regular service 10w40 liquimoly
timing chain tensioner
belts and pulleys
ignitions coils spark plugs air filter
water pump
trans rebuild
oil canister replaced
front wheel arms replaced
Looking for an E38 admirer to take her on, reluctant sale, no low ballers please. Inspections and test drive welcome, and happy to chat over it for hours !! What a machine, nothing current can compare to it for ever !!
