740i E38 – October 1994

An exceptionally well-preserved and very early BMW 740i of the E38 generation, finished in the elegant colour of Aspensilber and complemented by a full leather interior in Tartufo. With only 92,389 kilometres, a remarkable level of originality and an attractive German history, this is exactly the kind of E38 that has become increasingly difficult to find.
This BMW was delivered new on 4 October 1994 by the then official BMW dealer Vogelsang Automobile GmbH & Co. KG in Recklinghausen. As such, it is a very early example from the E38’s introductory year. The car comes from its second German owner and has had only two owners from new, interestingly both holding doctorate titles.

What immediately stands out is the exceptional originality of this 740i. The bodywork remains entirely in its factory paint and presents beautifully. The interior has also been preserved to a remarkably high standard. The leather upholstery, wood trim, switchgear and other details all reflect a BMW that has clearly been treated with great care throughout its life.
Under the bonnet is BMW’s 3,982 cc V8 producing 286 hp, paired with an automatic transmission. At the time, the 740i was one of the most impressive versions within the E38 range: powerful and exceptionally smooth, yet above all designed for effortless high-speed touring. It is precisely this combination of comfort, refinement and understated styling that has made the E38 one of the most highly regarded generations of the BMW 7 Series.

As the list below shows, this example was generously equipped from the factory:
0214 – Automatic Stability Control (ASC+T)
0216 – Servotronic speed-sensitive power steering
0302 – Alarm system
0352 – Double glazing (insulating glass)
0354 – Windscreen with green sun strip
0401 – Electric sliding/tilting sunroof
0423 – Velour floor mats
0428 – Warning triangle and first-aid kit
0431 – Automatically dimming interior rear-view mirror
0456 – Comfort seats with memory function
0464 – Ski bag / through-loading system
0494 – Heated seats for driver and front passenger
0499 – Electrically adjustable rear headrests
0500 – Headlight cleaning system
0508 – Park Distance Control (PDC)
0510 – Automatic headlight levelling
0534 – Automatic climate control
0555 – On-board computer V with remote control
0670 – BMW Professional RDS radio
0690 – Cassette holder
0801 – National version Germany / Austria

The BMW Styling 37 M Parallel Spoke alloy wheels complete the car’s purposeful yet elegant appearance.
An early BMW E38 740i with such low mileage is already an interesting proposition. Finding one with only two German owners, an attractive colour combination, generous factory specification and bodywork still completely in its original factory paint is considerably more difficult.
A wonderful example from an era in which BMW produced some of its finest luxury saloons.
