1995 Bmw 740il Base Sedan 4-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Morgan Hill, California, United States
|
NOT RUNNING. Will need to be towed. Buyer responsible for pickup. Located in Morgan Hill, CA 95037. Be advised: It's an old beater car. When I last drove the car and put it in storage in December, it was running fine. Now it won't start. I am not a mechanic. It may only need a new starter. The car would not pass a smog test which is the reason I stopped driving it. Needs new catalytic converters to pass smog. Registered as non-op. Mileage is not correct. Previous owner told me it has about 20,000 more miles than is indicated on the dash. Dash indicates 189,809. Actual milage is probably closer to 210,000. Paint is in bad condition with big key marks on both sides. Front bumper is cracked and a slightly different color than the rest of the car but hardly noticeable. Rear passenger door has a dent and is missing the trim. Suspension is toast, but won't scrape the bottom if you go over speed bumps very slowly. The exterior window seal on the drivers front window does not seal, so it lets water into the door if you get a carwash (I just put a piece of masking tape on it when I got a carwash). Also the sunroof leaks so make sure to have a small towel to catch the drips of water during a hard rain or carwash. Front seats are ripped but there are seat covers on them. Door panels are worn and peeling at the top. ABS light and air bag light was on. Drivers window does not work. Drivers seat does not adjust and the adjustment fixture is not secured. Rear left door does not open. Glove compartment is broken but can stay closed. Driver door handle on the inside is not secured but can still be used to open the door by pulling on it. Cruise control does not work. The passenger side windshield wiper does not work. Trunk is a bit lopsided, but does not let water in (Not as bad as the picture, the trunk was not closed in the picture).The electronic numbers and letters on the dash are not perfect but readable. The steering wheel shakes when going over bumps in the road. I was quoted $300 by a mechanic who said it needs an alignment with special BMW parts to fix the steering wheel shake. Loud squeaking noise from the rear left suspension. No leaks that I know of. Does not burn oil. Nice aftermarket stereo. A/C compressor was recently replaced and serviced and worked great. Custom exhaust system that was on the car when I bought it. Sounded nice. Big V8 motor and the transmission shifted prefectly. Gauges and lights all work. I couldn't register it because it wouldn't pass smog and now it's just taking up space. Buyer be advised that BMWs are expensive cars to maintain and replace parts for. Comes with tons of spare parts. You could sell all the spare parts on ebay and probably make more than you spent on the car. I'll even throw in two Jeep Wrangler racing seats if you want them. Clear title in hand. Serious bidders only. Please do not bid if you are not serious about the car or have 0 feedback. No checks. Cash only. I have written this long description so that you know exactly what you're getting. Please be available to pick up the car when the auction ends. Thank you. |

BMW 8 Series turns 25 [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014From the very beginning, the BMW 8 Series was a head turner. It was hardly a common sight in the first place, and the angular lines and low, pointed nose made the GT look like something special on the road. It's been 25 years since the Bavarian brand's flagship coupe of the '90s debuted, and owners celebrated the anniversary in style in Germany.
The 8 Series still looks great today, but its popup headlights give away its age a little. You just don't see them anymore. It was introduced at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 850i with a 5.0-liter V12 under the hood capable of 295 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Later, even bigger V12s would find their way in there. Production lasted until 1999, but they were rather exclusive with 30,621 built in its lifetime.
To celebrate the anniversary, several BMW clubs organized 120 examples for display at the company's headquarters in Munich. The brand took advantage of the display to show off the ultimate 8 prototype as well. The one-off special packed a 550-horsepower V12 and a body with optimized aero. That engine eventually became the basis for the one in the McLaren F1.
NHTSA urges owners of recalled Takata airbag vehicles to take immediate action
Mon, 20 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.
BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead
Fri, 02 Aug 2013
Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.
