2001 BMW - 740i

Fahrzeugbeschreibung

Finished in Imola Red with a tan leather interior. This E38 740i is a short-wheelbase model equipped with the M Sport Package, making it a rare "Sporty Shorty" variant.The seller performed an engine and transmission swap on this car in June 2018, installing a 4.9-liter "S62" V8 and a 6-speed manual from a 2002 M5 that he owned, which had been involved in an accident. He adds that the chassis has about 135,000 miles, and the engine has around 206,100 miles; the latter is shown on the odometer.Other modifications made to this car include a Dinan ECU tune, a Dinan exhaust system, an M5 steering box, Eibach lowering springs, and KW rear coilovers.Service records shown in the gallery detail the repairs and maintenance performed on this car since 2019. The timing chain guides were notably replaced at 196,215 miles.Sold from 1995 to 2001, the third-generation 7 Series (called E38 internally) retired as BMW's best-selling flagship sedan to date. Short- and long-wheelbase variants of the 740 model were offered; this is one of the former. Both were developed primarily with luxury in mind, but the optional M Sport Package made this big sedan surprisingly agile.Power comes from a 4.9-liter "S62" V8, which was factory rated at 394 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Due to the modifications performed to this engine, it may produce more power, but a dyno sheet was not provided to confirm. It spins the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
