1993 Bmw 740il Base Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
North Granby, Connecticut, United States
|
Up for bid is a very clean, 1 owner 1993 BMW 740il. This is BMW's flagship. It priced at over $53,000 in 1993. The car is truly amazing. It has brand new Nexen tires on BMW's honeycombed wheels. I have a set of 18" parallel chrome wheels for a bit extra. The engine starts and runs smooth and strong. The suspension is tight. I just had every rubber gasket underneath replaced, including the oil pan, transmission selector shaft, differential seals and more. There are absolutely zero leaks in this car. The propeller shaft carrier bearing is brand new. The undercarriage is completely rust free. In fact, there is no rust on the car anywhere! It is a one owner car, I am the second owner. The car has a phone, on board computer, CD changer in the trunk...it even has a tool kit. The battery is brand new.
Now...for the things it needs to bring it to immaculate condition. It needs a windshield, as a rock hit it and a small crack has started. The bottom of the passenger door has a small crease. The transmission hesitates when you shift from drive to reverse. Other than these things, I don't see anything else that needs to be fixed.
Now...why am I selling the car? I initially purchased this BMW for my daughter. She feels that the car is too big for her and wants a smaller car. Simply put...I bought the car for more than I have listed, put even more into it (for my daughter's safety) and now am selling it so I can get her a different [smaller] car.
I've attempted to describe this car as accurately as possible. This is sold "as is" with no warranty or guarantee.
This BMW can be an amazing ride for the bidder who wins. |

BMW rethinks all-wheel-drive M cars
Fri, 04 Oct 2013BMW M hasn't been able to decide whether it wants to jump on the all-wheel-drive bandwagon or not (with the exceptions of the X5 M and the X6 M, which are based on AWD architecture). That might be changing though, since M's president Friedrich Nitschke recently realized that 70 to 80 percent of Mercedes-Benz E63 AMGs are ordered with all-wheel drive. Earlier this year, Nitschke said that there were no new AWD M models planned, so this comes as somewhat of a surprise.
"On our cars we are thinking of all-wheel drive, but it won't come before we get the successor of the M5 and M6," Nitschke said in a Motoring report. "That's the timing and it's not practical to react in the current life cycles."

2014 BMW X5 doesn't upset the formula
Wed, 29 May 2013BMW has unveiled the 2014 X5, and fans of the company's CUV will find plenty familiar in the machine. The biggest change to the recipe comes in the form of the X5 sDrive35i, which is the first rear-wheel drive version of the high-riding five-door to date. Buyers will, of course, continue to be able to opt for all-wheel drive, and both models will get their thrust from a 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine. That powerplant makes 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. BMW says the combination is good enough to get the SUV to 60 miles per hour in around 6.2 seconds.
Those who require more thrust can step up to the more potent X5 xDrive50i with its twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine. Drivers get to enjoy an extra 45 hp over the previous model, with final output up to 445 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic of its own, the engine can hustle the big X5 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
The 2014 BMW xDrive35d continues to offer diesel power, though output has dropped 10 horsepower to 255 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. Even so, BMW says the X5 diesel will be just as quick or quicker than the 2013 model. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
BMW says SUVs killed the sports car market
Thu, 13 Nov 2014In many ways, we're living in a golden age of automotive performance. After all, it's possible to show up at a Dodge dealer, hand over about $60,000 and storm away with a 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat. Or for those who prefer a touch more luxury, the BMW M4, Mercedes-AMG C63 and latest Cadillac ATS-V offer between 425 and 503 horsepower, depending on your pick, with a bit more poshness. However, none of these powerful vehicles fit the classic definition of a two-place, droptop sports car, and according BMW head of sales Ian Robertson, that's because the segment is very much in the doldrums.
According to Robertson, two factors seriously wounded the classic sports car market. First, the global economic crisis of a few years ago put a serious hurt on sales, according to Bloomberg. Further worsening the situation, the boom in popularity of luxury SUVs and crossovers in the past few years hasn't allowed for much recovery. Even car-hungry China hasn't helped much because of the smog in many cities and preference among some of the very rich there to be chauffeured.
Combined, Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLK sales peaked around 114,000 units a year in 2007, but they are only expected to reach 72,000 annually by the end of the decade. Robertson is pretty pessimistic about the market's comeback too. "Post-2008, it just collapsed. I'm not so sure it'll ever fully recover," he said to Bloomberg.
