I love the car but.......... I wan't to go to new body style 7 and basically do same look.

It will be sad day:(

Not a primary car, approx 75K original miles, winter package gray leather, 20 Staggered Movens with Falkens, H 7 R stage 2 springs, stainless YRK exhaust, Umitza angel eyes.

HAve stock suspension, whels and mufflers.

Not sure if I am ready yet but here goes some picts.........more can be sent for right offer

whats your price? are you asking us to name prices? need more details to say what price i would pay. im guessing in the 10k range? maybe more perhaps.

might make sense to pull off those wheels and sell them separately.

Should have put the price, but..........
10K CMON!!! :devillook

I couldn't replace it for 15K. I would price it agressively at 17,500.

Anyone interested can always PM me and I can provide more info, picts etc.

year 1998 740I, Black w/gray leather

there is a 01 740il with sport package on 20s lowered with 76k miles in the for sale section for 15000 obo...no one has even taken a bite on that car....theres no way you will get anything close to 17500 for a 98 740i...but good luck man:buttrock

Didn't mean to offend with the 10k guesstimate. Maybe 12k is more accurate, certainly no higher than that IMHO. You're going to get way more $$$ by selling the aftermarket parts (like wheels and springs) separately

this is O.T - Dophin what's up with your exhaust tips in the pic in your sig? I could'nt see my stock top because they were hidden by the bumper, did you do something to yours? I like the pic btw.

They are extenders that the previous owner put on. I'm not a huge fan of them. I want to get cut outs and quads as soon as i can find a place to use a dremel

I would, but I don't have a garage, or anywhere to plug in tools. I need a fellow bf.c member to loan me a garage. I would be willing to drive

Noo problem, wasn't offended just not going to sell it unless I can get a nice price. There are plenty 7's out their for 10K and under but they don't look like mine!!:evil2

I thought I would start on this forum where the entuisiasts are.......you guys have too much market value knowledge!!

I could probaly sell it quicker by putting at my buddies Import lot alongside a major road. Just not that ready to sell.

I see a 98 with 62k going for 18,500 so you might get lucky...

...and now I see a 98 with 43k going for 12k.

I guess it all depends on who's selling it and how much the buyer knows about 7's.

dont want to offend you, but you will not get anywhere near $17.5.

you would be lucky to get $12k.....very lucky.

just because there are mods, that doesnt mean that your resale increases.

people who mod cars almost NEVER get back what they put into it.....

just my $.02, (i used to be a used car salesman).

Yeah definetly depends on buyer and what their willing to pay. I appreciate the input.

I know it's high but I don't really want to sell it ...........yet.

Just thinkin now is a good time to get back what I have in the car as it runs perfectly and there is no major issues.

Other thing is I only use the car occassionaly once a week or so about 15 miles. So it's basically a toy.

Which also brings me to the other conclusion that if I buy a 745 I will be spending at least 25-30K before I even put wheels on it and I will have a hard time justifying having three cars in my driveway and this one........ a fourth would sit in the garage.

I don't even drive my current bimmer in the rain or take it to events where I know it might get dinged while n the parking lot!:nono (wifes Expedition is used for that)

So I think for now I will take the advice of the members and not sell it. Thanks for talking me out of it!!!!!:cool

Damn!!! I was just about to offer you $20K :D but since you want to keep it......

wow, yeah +1 no way you'd get 17.5. i paid 13 for my 00 sport in mint condition. and mods bring down resale value. 12 MAAAAAAYYBEEE. if you get that, buy that one dudes 745 for 22 ;)

They are Movens SR5's got them in California, can't rememeber the distributor they came with Falkens also.

There nice but I would have rather had a stainless lip. The aluminum is hard to take care of and very easily scratched.

Next wheels when I get a Black 745 or 6 will be the MHT Black stoked. They are sweeeeeet

Hey midnight,
Now that you're not selling, I have some smoked tails if you want to upgrade the rear end for cheap.
