Up for reluctant sale is my 1993 7 series. I bought this last year from an 84 year old gent who was giving up driving, and his wife refused to drive it as it was too big for her!
First things first, this is a 23 year old car, it is far from immaculate. I bought it with the intentions of performing a rolling restoration, but due to me having to move away for work, and me losing my parking and garage space for it, it has to go.
First things first, paint.
Lacquer is peeling on the sun roof, and the rest of the paint looks like it has been washed with a Brillo pad! It really does still shine up very well, but up close you do notice it!
Still reading? Good.
The interior is very very clean on this car. It has the original mats, very clean electric leather seats, dual zone air con which works (but only on full, common bmw resistor trouble!), the original first aid kit is under the seat still in its shrink wrap. The torch is still charging away in the glove box. Sun roof still tilts and slides, electric blind in the rear window worked the one and only time I used it, on the test drive!
The dashboard. If you know these cars, or pretty much any BMW from 80s-90s you will know they like to destroy pixels. Not this one! Every pixel of the display works on this car! I will tell you (because nobody told me, and I noticed months later!!) That some scoundrel has taped over the air bag light which blinks away quite happily under the black tape.
It also suffers from the 'mustard relay' trouble, which brings up false warnings of bulbs being blown when you have the lights on sometimes. Never really bothered me, just clear it and carry on cruising!
Engine, what a peach! It really does cruise nicely! It will happily sit with modern traffic all day long, and still show a clean pair of heels to many more! Gears shift nicely, sport, normal and the other mode all work on the gearbox.
In the boot there is another full sized spare alloy wheel, most of the tool kit is there, but some barsteward has pinched the pliers!
The alloys are all in fairly food condition, no major kerb rash, or anything that wouldn't scrub up with a bit of tlc and a sponge!
The only rust I can find on this car is 2 small spots under the back window. With some of the projects I have seen on here it definitely wouldn't phase most of you, but it is worth mentioning I feel.
I have tried to be as honest as I can about this car. Feel free to come and have a look, have a drive, have a poke about! I really have no idea how to price this car, as there really aren't many left now, so if you feel I've priced it too high make me a sensible offer. Not really interested in swaps as such, but if you're really desperate to swap this for your Bentley, Rolls Royce, Range Rover, or Maybach I could be tempted. Let me know what you have all I can say is no.
I am only on mobile at the moment so I can't upload any photos, if you want some you can contact me on 07929355629. I have WhatsApp, email, and a carrier pigeon somewhere to get the photos to you!
Thanks for looking!
