2001 735i Sport - Titan Silver w/ Black Nappa/Alcantara SOLD

If you are looking for what may well be the most outstanding condition 735i Sport available in the UK - or anywhere for that matter - then this may well be your car.

It is originally a Japanese car - although very little would offer any indication of that other than a couple of bodywork stickers.

The Japanese origin of the car in this case means it benefits from being completely free of rust - no locked up or rusty bolt heads or screws - no blisters - nothing.

This was the best E38 I could find by a mile. I looked at the time at a near identical car for sale at the well known and regarded '4 star classics' - and had thought I would buy that car but it was no where near as good as I had hoped. This car however, did not disappoint.

My car has been serviced every year without fail - showing 19 services to date. It has wanted for nothing its entire life. Since being in my ownership I have tended to anything that I felt the car needed whether it be wear and tear or preventative maintenance.

The car has the following specifications over and above the factory standard Sport Pack:

- Shorter Final Drive Ratio
- Xenon headlights
- Nappa / Alcantara Seats
- Wide screen navigation which i have upgraded to MKIV and updated the firmware. Original MK2 drive will be supplied with the car.
- Electric steering wheel adjustment
- Glass Sun Roof
- Powerfold mirrors
- Electric rear blind
- heated front and rear seats
- Rare Birch Anthracite wood trim

For those unfamiliar with the 'Sport' version of the E38 - or not sure what it entails: it is the presence of a number of options available as a package for face lift model E38's. Not many 735i models benefitted from being factory built as sport models worldwide, making it a relatively rare car when they were new.
Many E38's are advertised as 'sport' models incorrectly - and to qualify ALL of the following options must be present:

- Body colour bumpers
- Shadowline trim (no chrome)
- Lower sports suspension
- M Parallel Alloy wheels
- Anthracite Headliner
- M-Sport Steering wheel
- Sport front Seats

All books, book pack and keys are present, including tools and first aid kit.

There are 3 very small marks to be found on the whole car - all of which will be pointed out. They were not considered by me to significant enough to warrant painting and spoiling the originality of this incredible car.

The alloys wheels are original and have never been refurbished. Not often you will see the M Parallel wheel in such glorious condition - let alone in it's original specification. Very minor curbing is present on 1 of the rear wheels. I am the type of owner who occasionally removes the wheels just to clean the inside of them. The wheels all sit on matching Michelin Tyres with loads of tread.

In my ownership I have done the following work at various specialists and main dealers (receipts available) - in addition to keeping the annual service in place with the last being at Vines BMW Guildford.

- Valve Cover Gaskets
- Cam chain cover gasket
- Alternator
- Gearbox Seals and fluid replaced
- Upper and lower front control arms

MOT through August 2020 - no advisories on the last MOT.

I am looking to sell to an E38 enthusiast - or someone who can appreciate how rare and wonderful this car is. If you are shopping by price - there is plenty of other E38's available so please more on. If you are genuinely looking for the best you can find - then please get in touch.
