1986 BMW 745i

Asking $9,500

             

Alpinaweiss (Alpine White) with Anthrazit  Buffalo leather interior 53,000 miles (86,000km)  

Excellent mechanical condition; drives great, steers straight, pulls strong, stops quick.

This remarkable 7-Series turbo is a Euro-spec car that was sent to Japan when new. It appears to be a one-owner car and was clearly garage kept most of its life and well maintained. The car arrived at the dock in the condition you see in the pictures, meaning it was always kept clean and ready to drive.

There is plenty of evidence that this is a premium car that has been well maintained but driven very little.

Runs cool, gauge reads a little below 12 o’clock, AC blows cold, heater works well with all 4 fan speeds. Auxiliary cooling fan in front of the radiator cuts in with the AC, as designed.

The body is in excellent condition structurally with NO RUST. However, the paint is 25 years old and a little tired.

Interior is in great condition; upholstery, headliner, dashboard, door cards, seats, and carpets all intact and clean. No smoke smell or stains apparent..

Mechanicals all look good on visual inspection. A new radiator was installed shortly after importation, because of seepage around the tank. All fluids topped up and reasonably clean, no major fluid leaks obvious. Engine, transmission and differential all reasonably dry after 30 years, only the sort of light gasket and boot seepage you’d expect from normal use. Shocks and brakes are dry, exhaust in good shape. In short, nothing alarming was discovered on casual inspection.

The original 390 mm TRX rims have been removed and were replaced with 16 inch basket weave rims from an E34 5-series.

This car was entered correctly and legally, with all DOT and EPA forms and declarations submitted and approved. This car can be registered and titled anywhere in the US. California drivers can get this car CARB certified at G&K Motors in Santa Ana.

Car is located near Bellingham WA. I can arrange shipping anywhere in the world, and I can deliver within 500 miles for a moderate fee.
