I’ve got a gorgeous 2001 BMW 740iL for sale. Extensive service records. All recent work performed by us.

Comes with the proven M62TU 4.4L V8 engine, putting out 282hp. This is a big car that can get out of its own way in a hurry, and do so in style.  
It’s also had a lot of work done on the typical problem areas that these cars have. All major cooling system parts have been replaced, and the air oil separator and all related components replaced.  
Factory navigation is also fitted, and works perfectly.  
Yes, it even comes with the factory phone option, not that you could activate it or anything.

Just put a brand new set of tires on the factory mesh wheels in the pictures, and it comes with another set of 5-spoke 16" wheels with snow tires. Snows aren’t in the greatest condition.

Finished in grey with grey interior.  
Exterior condition is good, with the exception of a few surface rust spots at the bottoms of the doors and trunk lid, which will be shown in the pictures below.  
Interior is also in extremely good condition.

Just a bump with a few updates.

Car now has brand new Denso AC compressor. The one on the car was a bit noisy, so replaced, oiled, evacuated for 45 minutes, and fully charged. No leaks.

LF tie rod end replaced due to some clunking around on bumps.

Gorgeous car. Drove by the other night and took a look.

Tie rods easy to replace? Mine are clunking pretty badly on the E39.
