1996 E38 735i V8
Usable classic needing a few jobs sorting ready for show season on summer, if you’re after a small project that you can use while you source parts etc then this is the perfect car for you.
127k miles. Canyonrot Metallic Paint. MOT until October 2024. Previously a Cat N on logbook. Runs and drives lovely, recently been to Belgium and back in it and it ran a treat, oil and filter was changed before the trip in December, working cruise control is lovely, nice comfy car and a really enjoyable car, averaged 25-26mpg too which I was quite impressed with for a 3. 5L V8. Working memory seats. New thermostat fitted before my trip to Belgium, heaters work fantastically and car sits at temperature spot on. Working cruise control. Fully working sunroof with no leaks, also opens/ closes off the key. Working front and rear parking sensors. ABS light has come on a couple of months ago, had a front sensor for MOT which cleared it, I’ve not plugged into it since light came on but will do when I get chance. Handbrake release cable has come off the mechanism on the pedal, it can be released with a screwdriver but can’t get in to get the cable back on without removing the mechanism. 18” wheels are like brand new, clean up perfect, tyres are good tread all round with Pirelli P zeros on the front and Goodyear eagle F1 on the rear. Aftermarket head unit fitted poorly in the wrong surround by previous owner, I have just purchased a full factory head unit/ heater control set up to go with the car I’ve not got round to fitting yet (pictured). Unfortunately it does suffer from a battery drain, possibly due to the aftermarket stereo? Goes flat after 2 days of no use, hasn’t bothered me as I use the car daily and it starts fine each day. Front bumper is cracked, possibly from when it was made a cat N, I’m not sure on the history of it. Lacquer peel on the bonnet is the only downside to the paint really. Slight surface scabbing at the back of the drivers side sill seen in photo and at the front of the passenger side sill, car is solid underneath however.
I’d like £3, 250 Ono given the issues I think it’s a fair ask.
Any further questions please ask.
Car is located in Boston Lincolnshire.
Really comfortable usable classic, turns heads but drives like a modern car.
