This legendary "bmw" of the late '90s has crossed only 255km and is getting more expensive minute by minute
It was driven by a grandmother born in 1927, and the prospective buyer will be able to enjoy the full luxury and comfort of driving an authentic 1990s-style sedan
The market for cars older than 30 has always had its fans. It is, however, a hobby or passion that requires either a lot of money to buy a well-preserved classic or a long time to restore such a bad car.
While this is not the only issue, it seems that the high cost-to-spend ratio that restoration takes away has influenced the emergence of the "old time" class of "modern classics" or, as they are called "yangtaymers."
These are cars that cannot be categorized as oldtimers, since they are under 30 years old, but have a good reputation from the time they were current, which is why they are still seen on roads and garages. Plus, it's still a lot easier for them to find spare parts.
And even if one finds a modern classic in factory condition and with a small mileage, which was recently the case in Spain with a single Mercedes 300D from 1991, then it is a real "treat". Although the principle of "the more preserved - the more expensive" applies here.
Just like with this cult "bear", it also happened with one 1998 BMW 7 Series (E38) luxury car. The 740i-branded car is completely factory-preserved, having spent most of its "garage life" under a plastic balloon.
The luxury car, whose sale was advertised on eBay.de a few days ago (where you can see more photos), according to available data, belonged to a woman born in 1927 for a short time in the late 1990s. His further judgment is unknown.
Today, this "CEO" BMW is for sale in Poland, in the town of Gogolin, and as the ad states, there are only 255 kilometers per hour. At some point, the car was placed under an "fresh air flow capsule" that "prevented dust particles from touching the paint all these years."
This BMW 740i is equipped with a V8 4.4-liter engine with 282 horsepower, which is transmitted to the rear wheels by a five-speed ZF automatic transmission.
The car comes with a luxurious suite of equipment that includes all then-available safe driving systems (ABS, ESP, front, passenger and side airbags), power-adjustable windows and leather heated seats, adjustable steering wheel, automatic climate and parking sensors.
The seller points out that the car is not intended to be marketed in the US or Japan, so a prospective European buyer will be able to enjoy the comfort of driving an authentic 1990s-style sedan.
And for that pleasure they will have to allocate (much) more than 50,000 Euros, since at the moment of this text their bids were presented by 58 potential buyers, with 6 days remaining until the end of the auction. The current price is $ 55,049.
