Shamelessly stolen from original sale ad.
G reg BMW 735i saloon
Superb VIP drift and tow vehicle, will pull just about anything effortlessly and legally - huge torque from the 3.5 litre engine and excellent towing capacity
Full grey leather interior
Carpets & trim (grey/black/wood) all in very good condition
Decent Blaupunkt CD/Radio
Remote central locking and alarm
All electrics work (including front seats!)
Full function 18-button on-board computer with dash and instrument panel display and remote function switch on indicator stalk! Displays mpg, range, average speed, time, date, temperature, stop watch, timer, etc etc etc
This is a very rare factory manual WITHOUT Aircon, I'm told that it was specially ordered without A/C and with the following Sport options:
- Electric front sport seats (buckety Recaro style)
- Limited Slip Differential
- Momo steering wheel
The car drives and handles very well. It drifts amazingly well and is incredibley agile for a large car!
Tax and Mot until Nov maybe later
Dark metallic maroon
No rust bar a bubble on the bonnet (easy fix or just get a new bonnet for £30 from the scrappers!!)
Rolled wheel arch lips for fitting VERY wide wheels (currently has 17 x 10J ET15 rears with 265/40 tyres!)
Electric sunroof (tilt & retract)
Engine is totally standard M30 3.5 litre. These engines are chain-driven and famous for being bomb proof and lasting forever. One of BMW's strongest, and the basis for the incredible E34 M5 engine (S38)
This one has covered over 171,000 miles and is still super smooth and quiet, no top end rattles as can be common if not looked after.
210hp, 225 ft.lb of TORQUE
Runs great on normal 95 RON unleaded (no need for super)
Recently replaced all the inlet and vacuum hoses and joins with new ones from BMW
It's had a recent cap and rotor arm
Oil and filter changed every 3,000 miles
Gearbox and diff fluids replaced in January
Bad Points
Body has seen some paint work in its past. Whilst its not up to BMW standards it is mostly one colour and shiney. It looks good for a cheap old bus.
There is a knock from the rear suspension - suspected rear top mount or rear anti roll bar bushes/links worn (cheap part through GSF or Euro car parts). Still drives fine though, just a littly noisy over bumpy roads
Front leather seats are worn on the side bolsters (as always!), though a bit of grey leather dye/conditioner would help matters.
Exhaust is rattly at times/certain revs - easy fix, though I was going to eliminate the centre section with some straight through piping for the 6-cylinder symphony!
Stereo is wank, not the stereo's fault but afaik due to 7 series having amps built in and the wiring being different to all other stereos makes for most people fitting aftermarket stuff fuck it up. I have wiring instructions which will hopefuly sort it out but haven't got round to trying.
Overall this car has been 100% reliable, superb fun and the most comfortable car I have ever had by miles. Long journies are effortless. She simply devours the miles!
It's not particularly expensive to run either, I get over 30mpg on a run and even 25mpg around town... you can literally drive it around lazily at 1,000 rpm as the engine has so much torque! And as stated parts are cheap from GSF and the M30 is so simple and strong it is very rare to have any problems and there are plenty with 300,000 miles plus on the clocks...
Would make a superb tow car - you'd hardly notice you were pulling something, and towbars are only £100 NEW off of eBay!
Price is £750ono. This is £50 up on 20vWill's original price but I have sorted a few of the niggles and painted one side of it to make it tidy. Ono anyway
I have 20vWills original pics here and I will endavour to wash the car tomorrow and take some better pics now it is tidier

I am only selling this because I have been offered a bargaintastic car off of a friend that is in dire financial straits. Otherwise I would of been more than happy to continue in my ownership of this limo drifter.
The wheels are definately not for sale with the car. I will replace them with some standard e32 rims.
