1998 BMW 740

1998 BMW 740i M7 CUSTOM for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to offer this professionally-built M7, an Ultimate Driving Machine that BMW never built. Based on a sound example of BMWs 1998 flagship 7-Series sedan, this awesome car has been upgraded with a E39 M5-sourced 4.9-liter V8 and six-speed manual transmission. The car is finished in Oxford Green (324) with a Sand Beige leather interior. The car has a clean Carfax report and shows no sign of ever having been damaged. The body was refinished in 2019 and features black Shadowline trim, black side skirts, integrated front fog lamps, and a tinted glass sunroof. Aftermarket LED projector headlights are fitted along with a custom M7 trunk badge. Additional equipment includes ventilated four-wheel disc brakes, 18 M-Parallel wheels, power-adjustable and heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a tinted glass power-operated sunroof, and a six-disc CD changer. The car is fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires, 235/50 front and 255/45 rear. Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes were standard equipment, and the suspension was upgraded with Dinan Stage 1 components along with Bilstein dampers. The 4.9-liter S62 V8 was sourced from a 2001 E39 M5 and was serviced by a marque expert in 2018 before being installed. It features variable valve timing and was factory rated at 394 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Maintenance work prior to installation included a replacement intake manifold gasket, a new crankshaft seal, replacement water pump O-ring seals, a new accessory drive belt, and a replacement pilot bearing. Technical specifications aside, this M7 is fully-sorted and a delight to drive. Behind the wheel it feels like an M5 with the added space and luxury amenities of the 7-Series sedan. It is a most impressive creation.
