I am looking at a 745i. the guy wants 2500 for it. its a euro model that went throgh DOT inspection and had a cat and side lights put on. It needs some TLC...needs complete exhaust system and A/C system....Interior is a little rough but usuall wear. body is decent. has 150K miles
self leveling system was replaced with stock springs and bilstiens..
We 745i owners call that a parts car. Too many VERY expensive things wrong with it. Spend $2k more and get a good one.
Bill is right. Find one from a original owner that always took care of it. I found mine from my neighbor across the street. She had purchaced an extended warranty. It had just run out at 50K miles and she was worried! She gave it to me for 2K. It was perfect. Word has it that in and around La Jolla in CA. The neighborhoods are full of them...
