 Beautiful 89 BMW 750 il. This was the first year of the BMW V/12. Smooth, solid power, runs and sounds great. This car belonged top a friend. I was with him when he got it, helped him maintain the car for years before buying it from him myself. I'm a car guy so I am always on top of maintenance. Only seeling the car because we just don't have space. We have 10 cars in an areas meant for 6 and we live in a gated community where we cannot park cars in the street or anywhere other than the driveway and garage. This is low car on the totem pole so sadly I need to let it go.

Car is in great condition, a few minor dings as can be expected from a 24 year old car but barely noticable. Interior is straight, no rips, tears, etc in the leather. Great condition inside and out. TSW staggered wheels, 19's rear, 18's front, color matched to car. Power front and rear seats, heated front seats, power windows, locks, mirrors, moon roof, dual zone climate control.

Car is in great mechanical and appearance condition. Runs well, idles well, does not over heat, shifts solidly, no transmission slipping, drives great. In economy mode, and if you don't stand on those 12 cylinders, the car will average about 20 on the freeway. Not lightning fast from a stop but once it gets moving, watch out. Easily passes most cars on the freeway, tons of power even from 80 mph and up. This car has 300 HP!!! Put the car in sport mode and at 80 on the freeway, mash the pedal down. You'll feel it push you back in your seat and in the blink of an eye you'll be at 120 and barely notice it. Awesome road trip car.

All new brakes, rotors, pads recently installed. Most of the rear suspension components have been replaced within the last year. Two new fuel filters within last year, new pumps last two years. Fuel pressure regulators, fuel injectors, entire fuel system checked and passed past few months. New strut cartridges in the front, have new upper and lower control arms for both sides including new ball joints to be replaced along with complete tie rod end assemblies for both sides. (almost a Grand in parts alone) Can refer you to local mechanic who can replace for very reasonable cost or you can do it yourself. If you decide to have it done right away, I have a lifetime alignment warranty on the car, I will take it to get it aligned for you for free after the components have been replaced.

Known issues are all minor and none of them affect the functionality of the car: Seam in seat of drivers side seat needs to be restitched, approximately 2 inches, leather is not torn though. Center link support bearing for drive shaft should be replaced. Every once in a while you can hear it thump. Not essential to driving the car, will not damage anything else to keep driving it, just annoying thump. There is a small leak in one of the lines for the rear suspension leveling system, System works but if you put hydraulic fluid in it you will have a puddle on the driveway. The bulbs in the instrument cluster which illuminate the LCD for odometer, etc are burnt out. You can see what it says and verify mileage with flashlight. Mechanic thought it would be easy to replace so he tried to pull it out, will not come out without removing steering wheel. After he put it back, left side of cluster which is where the speedo is works intermittently. Hit a bump it will work, hit another and it doesn't. Mechanic probably did not plug wires into cluster very well because issue only surfaced after he attempted to replace the bulbs. SRS (airbag)  light comes on, flashes, sometimes stays on solid. Mechanic said it is just a bad sensor, not worth worrying about. Would replace components for front suspension which are all included in the sale.

Essentially, a few little fixes (all the new parts except for the centerlink bearing are included in the sale) and you have a classic BMW that is a head turner, fun to drive and reliable.

This is really a great looking car. I get compliments on it every time I drive it, even at the country club it looks great parked in the valet with the newer cars and I get asked about it all the time from clients and others. The neighbor down the street asked for a while about buying it before he found one of his own (I wasn't looking to sell it then) and I'm not telling my 15 and a half year old son yet that I'm selling it because I know he wants it and secretly thinks he is getting it.
