1995 Bmw 740il Base Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars

This is still my daily driver and drive it every day. I currently have 3 cars and have a 3 car garage and honestly that is not enough room for 3 cars, a couple of work benches, tool box, 4 bikes, and all the other "junk" commonly found in a garage. With 2 children I actually need a 4 or 5 car garage to be comfortable.

I purchased the car about 14 years ago so technically I am the second owner. When I purchased it, I believe it had 73K miles on it. I had been looking for this car with this particular color scheme for a long time and had always wanted the white with black trim.

Cosmetically the car is in great shape but it does have a few minor flaws that can easily be fixed. The front black "Molding" in the front of the “bumper” is about 18 inches long has a little discoloration and could probably be changed ($99.95). The interior matts are also original and could also use a replacement. You can get them for ($114.95) for the set and should you wish to get them customized they are ($139.95). The rear left passenger door window comes with two shades. The smaller of the two shades has a worn spring. If you wanted to replace it the cost is ($190.95). The front driver’s seat has a small tear which just recently became noticeable. Should you wish to replace the seat covers they are ($229.00). The driver side Fog light recently cracked, not very noticeable but I would replace it if I keep it. The cost for the fog light is ($116.95).

I recently replaced the brakes so they have approximately 5K miles on them. The tires are in great condition with plenty of thread on them. I replaced the rims when I first purchased the car because I did not like the original rims that have a "Mesh" look and they were also difficult to keep clean.

The rear shade that comes up and down stopped working and honestly I never used it in the down position so I never really cared to check if possibly the fuse might have to be replaced. The same thing with the "Park Assist Sensors" this car comes with front and back sensors that make a "Beep" noise if the car gets too close to a curb or another car. They stopped working a while ago and at first I thought it was pretty cool to have them but they became a nuisance after a while. When they stopped working I didn't bother to figure out why.

The rear trunk door "Shocks" that hold the door up could also use a replacement. It requires 2 of them and they are ($92.00) for the pair. They are the original ones and after almost 20 years I think they have had enough. It is a heavy door but then again all the doors on this car are heavy. The 740iL is really a "Tank". The rear seats are very comfortable and have plenty of room.

If you like to "Ski" it has a compartment to carry your "skis" in. It also comes with its own "First Aid kit". It also has a compartment on the "trunk door" that carries some basic BMW tools should you ever need them. It has a "Pioneer" 6 CD changer in the back.

The Trunk is big enough to fit two people and all of your groceries.  :)

The phone also works and I used it until the smart phones took over the world. You can probably still activate it should you wish to do so. The "High Beams" stopped working about a year ago so that might be an electrical issue or a possible fuse as well. The windshield has a very minor "chip" on the passenger side that has been there for about 7 years. It never expanded and has never been an issue so I didn't want to spend the money for a new windshield if I didn't need it. After 7 years I don't think it will ever get any bigger so probably nothing to worry about.

Honestly I love the car and even to this day I still get many compliments. I try to keep it as you see in the pictures because when the car is clean it really is a "head turner".

It has been a very reliable and fun car for me and when you can get a car that originally cost 70K for 5K in this condition; I think that is a pretty good deal.

The car is not in the perfect condition it once was but should you decide to make the repairs and address the issues I have mentioned, I think you will really enjoy the car for years to come and fall in love with German cars as I have.

Let me know should you have any other questions issues or concerns and I will be happy address them. I can send you additional pictures as well and if you feel more comfortable talking on the phone please feel free to call me @ 717-575-5882.
