1988 BMW 735i 5-Speed

This 1988 BMW 735i is powered by a 3.4-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission and is finished in Black over Black leather. Service under current ownership in May 2022 included a cylinder head gasket repair, along with replacement of the camshaft, rocker arms, valve stem seals, distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs, thermostat, coolant temperature sensor, and radiator. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, a sunroof, fog lights, 15″ Style 2 wheels, heated power-adjustable front seats with driver-seat position memory settings, a cassette stereo, cruise control, an onboard computer, a rear window sunshade, and automatic climate control.

The car is finished in Black (086) and features a sunroof, dual exhaust outlets, fog lights, and projector-style headlights. The trunk struts were replaced in February 2020, and work in March 2020 included treatment of the inner door jams and bottom of the door frames with rust prevention.

The 15″ Style 2 alloy wheels were mounted with Uniroyal tires in May 2021. Braking is from four-wheel vented discs with ABS. Service in February 2020 included replacement of the front struts, rear shocks and shock mounts, front sway bar end links, and the driver-side tie rod assembly.

The front and rear seats are upholstered in Black leather and are accented by a color-coordinated lower dashboard, center console, and door panels. Interior appointments include heated power-adjustable front seats with driver-seat position memory settings, cruise control, an onboard computer, a rear window sunshade, and automatic climate control. The cassette stereo and amplifier were replaced in February 2020 with used units. Signs of wear are visible in the cabin.

The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,300-rpm redline as well as gauges for fuel level, instant fuel economy, and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 298k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
