My 728I Up For Sale - 2000 X Reg, C10500 Miles

[d_a_n1979]

For sale: BMW E38 728i – 2000 X reg – c100500 miles but will go up slightly
although as I work from home it wont go up by much at all. The car is in Aspen Silver Metallic

I’m looking to sell my 2000 X reg BMW 728i as my wife & I have just bought our first

house but also the car is too long and too wide to get down the narrow driveway
so unfortunately I need to downsize

The BMW is in very good condition indeed. I’ve owned since August/September 2012 when I
bought it at just over 99k miles!

It’s had, since I bought it:

• 
  x2
  oil and oil filter changes with Fuchs 5W40 and BMW oil filter (via Opie Oils)

• Front
  upper and rear upper ARMS changed which got rid of the body shimmy that the
  E38’s can suffer from (General Traffic parts)

• Brand
  new Boge and KYB rear suspension (Boge shocks and KYB springs; changed due to
  the NS spring had snapped at the bottom coil in the seat). Also had 2 new rear
  top mounts at the same time

• Front drop links replaced (General Traffic parts)

• x6 new NGK iridium spark plugs

• New
  in/under bonnet micro filters

• New
  K&N air filter

• Brand
  new bulbs all round including LED front sidelights & silver indicator
  lights (front and side repeaters)

• HEL
  stainless braided brake lines with new DOT4 brake fluid

• Brand
  new brake discs and pads all round (front & rear); again General Traffic
  items (discs). Brake pads are EBC

• Fully
  refurbished in ‘sparkle silver’ Style 32 alloys wheels; correct 8J & 9J
  staggered fitment with 255/45/18 tyres at the rear and 235/50/18 tyres up front
  (brand new fitted less than 150miles ago). The alloys were acid dipped; shot
  blasted, powder coated and had a ‘sparkle’ lacquer to finish them. They look
  fantastic!

• New
  alloy wheel centre caps from BMW with new black wheel bolts

• New
  throttle/intake pipe from the air intake box (genuine BMW) as there was a tiny
  split in the original one so decided to change it, as it was only £35! Wasn’t
  causing any issues; just peace of mind!

It’s taxed until June 2013 and the MOT is also due
in June 2013.

It has partial service history; I verified its miles by doing a search on the MOT
website and printed all the MOT’s off to show mileage was correct. A full HPI
check was also carried out and gave a full clean bill of health (finance/damage
wise etc…). There are also quite a few receipts from the previous owners and
the original leather bound folder that came with the car with the manuals etc…

It has the OEM Cd Changer in the boot with the OEM stereo head unit and tape player up
front. NOTHING has been changed on the car from OEM; it is how it should be
(not lowered, original radio etc…). The interior of the car is VERY clean
indeed. It’s been vacuumed more or less weekly and with new interior mats its
spotless. The memory seats work superbly and are very comfy. There are no
faults with the car electrics whatsoever!

The body work is very good indeed however there are a few very slight car park dents which
were there when I bought the car (very hard to see unless looked for). There
are also 2 small patches of rust that I’d been quoted £100 to get sorted but
was going to leave this until the winter weather finally passes us by! One
patch on the boot lid by the shut line and one very small patch under the
passenger / NS wing mirror

As it stands the car wants for nothing! It needs nothing and will sale through the next MOT
with ease. It runs SUPERBLY; so smooth but with great power delivery when needed.

I have literally spent over £1k getting the car into its current standard and now all
it needs is a new owner that will enjoy it and look after it as much as I have.

It’s a brilliant car and when on motorway runs, at a steady 75mph it gave back c35mpg!
Around town this will be lower but I never really paid attention, as I don’t
worry about economy due to the minimal miles I do in my cars!

It’s big inside and VERY comfy indeed; I’m 6ft 4 and close to 22stone and a big’ish lad
with it through all the weightlifting & strongman lifting/competing I’ve
done in the past and I can still get a fully gown guy in behind me with room to
spare! Very few cars on the market allow for this!

Price: £2500 ONO. Willing to hear sensible offers as I’d like to get this sorted sooner rather than later. I think this is
a very fair price as the car wants for nothing and is literally ready to be driven away! Please, NO LOW BALL/STUPID OFFERS – You WILL be told to shove it; hard!

Located just outside of Preston, Lancashire. More than happy to collect anyone who wants to view the car and travels to collect via the trains etc…

Dammit!

Photobucket isnt playing ball sorry

As soon as I get the pics sorted I'll upload them ASAP

Apologies!

[d_a_n1979]

Right; pictures at last (god damned photobucket)!!!

Apologies that the car isnt gleaming but its dont nothing but rain here for the last 8 hours. Pics of the wheels (all be it theyre dirty) shows that they've mint condition. Interior pics, engine bay pic and all sides photographed as well.

Picture of the expansive boot (put it this way; the boots that big that I fitted out 6.5ft Christmas tree in it in December 2012 and only had to bend the tip of the tree to close the boot lid)!

Picture of new battery and full, OEM tool kit plus pic of the Cd Changer

One again apologies for the dirtiness of my BMW!

Other bits to mention:

Rear seats have the pull down armrest which has a decent storage cubby built into it. Also x2 cup holders for the rear seats fitted into the middle seat and x2 cup holders for the front fitted at the bottom of the central dash

Comes with a fully sealed OEM first aid kit built into the rear middle seat at the top

No spare wheel is present but the 18" Style 32 alloys can be picked up on eBay all the time for c£25-£50; usually with a tyre! Personally I prefer having a tyre weld kit in the car as they take up less room and are hell of a lot lighter (obviously)!

Mileage clearly seen closer to 100300 but as already mentioned this will go up but not by a lot!

Car comes with 3 original keys (one just simply a key; the other 2 the original central locking fobs.

The boot is a soft open & close system; it doesn't open all the way up but releases and its very light with the pneumatic damper system and it soft closes too so no slamming needed!

Feel free to contact me if you need/want any further info :)
