Right, I miss my Supra too much and there's 2 or 3 for sale at the mo that tickle my fancy. However, the 'pleasure prevention officer' indoors has insisted that I sell the 740i AND the MR2 :faint:

 

So, BMW first.

 

1999 Facelift 740i with the best engine, M62TU 4.4V8 double Vanos, developing 286bhp and 310lbft torque.

5spd Steptronic auto with Sports and Manual modes

Met. grey with Sand interior

 

Standard stuff I know of:

Comfort Memory Leather

Electric Sunroof

6CD Changer

Soft close boot

DSC Stability Control

On Board Computer

Walnut Trim

etc

 

Extras:

18" BMW Multispoke alloys inc. spare

Electric Shoulder support

Electric Lumbar support

RARE - Massage seats (keeps yo ass alive on long journeys :D )

Park Distance Control front AND rear

GSM Phone, currently working fine on an O2 PAYG card.

 

Details:

93k with Full BMWSH, due an oil service but I will get that done by BMW before sale (£190).

Bought from http://www.jamespaul.co.uk, a local specialist known for supplying good quality cars. Bought in May this year for £11k.

Under BMW warranty until March this year, and is currently under transferable warranty from http://www.jamespaul.co.uk, will cost about £20 to assign to a new owner.

 

Good points:

Just replaced all discs and pads front and rear with genuine BMW parts.

Rad necks can split on the 7 series, rad replaced a few months ago

All tyres in very good health and are Conti Sport Contacts as fitted originally.

MOT til May next year

TAX til 31st Oct 2006

 

Bad points:

I only have one key, a previous owner lost the spare

 

Condition:

Really good condition, and hides it's mileage very well. I don't buy rubbish and spent top money when buying this car, didn't feel it worth the risk. There's a lot to go wrong, so I made sure it was a damn good example.

Yes there are marks, stone chips etc but nothing serious.

Once serviced I'll be putting in autotrader\ebay etc, and I'll have a start price on ebay of £8k. So if anyone wants to offer me £8k then they can have it.

 

Yes there are cheaper, but this is a very reasonable price for a facelift 740i in excellent condition.

 

I'll get interior pics this weekend.

 

Cheers

 

 

Matt
