Description
Here for sale is my rare SWB BMW 750i. This car is exceptionally rare being a SWB version 750i in an individual colour, Velvet Blue Metallic and along with it being de-chromed makes this as close to a 750i Sport as you can get (they never made a 750i Sport). Also officially registered as ULEZ compliant which is a great bonus

I have spent some money refreshing the car, some of the things I have bought/ replaced in my ownership include (all items brand new unless stated):
Yuasa battery
Oil service using correct Fuchs Titan 5/ 40 fully synthetic completed
Genuine BMW sunroof seal
Genuine BMW rear shock pads come with the car, I may have time to do this job but no guarantees
Delphi front control arms
Front parking sensors
Fuel filter
Kumho Ecsta PS71 front tyres (done less than a couple hundred miles)
Kumho Ecsta PS71 rear tyre fitted last week as had a puncture (other is an as new Hankook)
Febi rear top mounts
Rear Sachs shocks
Febi front discs and pads
Pollen filters
Fuel filter
Bosch Rotor arms x 2
Intermotor distributor caps x 2
Floor mats
LED number plate lamps
Chrome front grills (spare set of new satin grills will come with car)
Rear window regulators (correct heavy duty double glazing units)
Second hand throttle body (the other one is brand new and I have a receipt for this, it was £750 in 2020)
Most of the front and rear suspension components are brand new. Prior to me the car had replaced cam position sensor, tracking was done, angel eye conversion, spark plugs, SPAX lowering springs, Sachs front shocks and many other things. It also sits on very nicely on 20in staggered alloys, with the spare in the boot being the original M Parallel. The first keeper owned the car until 2006 and it was under warranty the whole time, I have a whole lot of bills from then. The service book is fully stamped until 2005 then patchy after that, but there are bills to support maintenance so rest assured this car has been looked after. I have 2 x sets of keys, the complete bookpack and manuals with bills and MOT’s. The engine runs as smooth as a V12 should, these are Rolls Royce engines so very refined and desirable. The body is in very good condition and the paint is in excellent condition, barring a few marks here and there and some very minimal local corrosion which is to be expected at this age, but the normal places of wheel arches and rear panel are rust free
There are a few things that you could address in time:
Air con – I took the car for a re-gas and it has a very small leak so couldn’t be done. Not sure where the leak is, but hopefully just an O ring somewhere
There is a crack in the windscreen on bottom left, its not in the field of vision so not an MOT fail
Front bumper could do with either a local repair or just a full repaint due to a few marks in the corner
Small random hole in the bootwell, will cost a £100 to get that welded
Head unit randomnly turns off sometimes, but is a good unit with inbuilt Nav
Paint on bonnet and boot is a little hazy for some reason, could be detailed out I think
Couple of dings here and there, but overall in superb condition
A beautiful car in a very rare spec and ULEZ compliant. The car will come with the old throttle bodies and facelift front headlamps. These are 15k+ cars now, this is a great deal so no silly offers
