BMW, 7 SERIES, Saloon, 1999, Semi-Auto, 4398 (cc), 4 doors

Description

1999 BMW E38 740I
4.4 V8
Just under 173000 miles
MOT until late April 2026
In great unmolested condition for its age, timing chain and guides as well as fluids and gaskets replaced by previous owner less than 3000 miles ago. Steptronic Transmission also serviced with fluid and seals at the same time. Grey 18" staggered Style 32 alloy wheels all in good condition on good tires.
Great oxford green colour with only a few marks and blemishes considering she's 26 years old. Very solid underneath, it's been remarked to me from several garages how solid and corrosion free the car is in general, only real corrosion worth mentioning is a small patch of bubbling around the size of a 50p just below the bootlid lip. She runs and drives an absolute treat, great sound and fast when you want it to be but very quiet and refined when you don't.
Interior is in great overall condition, electric contour seats in the front, cream leather and wood trim all round, no issues with the headliner which is a common and expensive fix. Msport steering wheel with all working buttons, and sunroof that works exactly how it should. Car comes with original in-car phone and 6 cd auto charger in the boot.
Recent work completed;
Timing chain and guides
Transmission service
New battery less than a year ago
Brake light switch replaced
Drivers door window motor and mechanism replaced
New fan clutch
2 ABS sensors in last 100 miles
Ignition switch replaced by myself
ABS module reconditioned (common and expensive issue)
Only negatives I can think of;
The aircon needs regassing and the dashboard pixels are intermittent, i have a contact passed to me that I can pass on to new owners for sorting that out.
Great car overall, I've loved every minute of driving it, don't be put off by the mileage these engines are good for hundreds of thousands of miles when looked after, which this one definitely has been. Lots of preventative maintenance completed in my ownership so she's ready for many more years of putting a smile on everyone's faces.
