FS: 1985 BMW 745i Turbo-euro edition

[RutRoe]

SOLD !!!!!!!




Make: BMW
Model: 745i TURBO - Grey Market European Edition-Legally imported and federalized
Year:1985

Mileage: Aprox 95K- odometer stopped at 86 a couple years ago, Auto tranny with selected modes of economy, sport, and 3-2-1

Options: Tons and tons of options... most importantly the buffalo hide interior, HUGE Sunroof, power seats, power locks, power windows, front and rear fog lights

Mods: Car is stock with factory turbo, lowered with Bilstein HD's. Great power and speed. Everything is EURO Spec, including all bumpers, lights, etc.

Car has 16'' TSW Stealth's with good tires on all four. Not sure of the brand. Two are dunlop I think.

Engine: I believe its a 3.5 factory turbo, runs great, might need tune up, great boosting ability according to my research

Condition:

The car was never produced in the US. It was imported and federalized to make it legal. I have a clean Texas title and it is ready to go. I can furnish the VIN to any serious parties.

Car as a whole is in great shape. There are a few things here and there that will need attention. Car will probably need a paint job. Paint was fading on the sunroof, and I touched it up. Light surface rust on the bottom of a couple doors.

Interior of the car is totally pimp. All original Buffalo hide interior, all power seats. The rear seat has a armrest that folds down and allows the rear person on the passenger side to adjust the front seat remotely so that they are most comfortable... this was just one of the many cool things on an "executive model"

I have over $7000 in receipts for the car for the past 5 years and it was barely driven. The car is extremely rare, and a real fun car to drive around.

Several people can vouch for the car, including Smokin Joe who can attest to its speed and power, especially once the boost builds.

PRICE: $4500 OBO OR Trade ? Miata, 240, something else... who knows.
CONTACT METHOD: PM me or [email protected]

I am selling the car and planning on buying an S2000 but I am up for possible trades. PM me or email me, or just ask in here.

Here are a bunch of pics I just took.

[HiPSI]

man i'd like to own that car... too bad i can't :(

[bigjussin]

rut- u have some tight cars....my buddy and i swapped a turbo from the euro 735i onto his 91 535i 5-spd...it was a chore, but sooo cool...i love grey market cars..and i'd love to have the dorifto limetime truck :-)

[RutRoe]

Thanks man...

This swap will fit in a 5 series and its pretty much hell on wheels...

All you have to do is buy them and they're both yours :) Or I know you've got tons of stuff... just work out a fun trade for them both and they're yours :)

[RutRoe]

TTT

[DeutscheBAG!]

i'll help pass the word on this..is it cool if i hotlink your pics to other sites to gain some more interest

[4DRGSR]

WOW....didn't know that they made turbo cars.....gonna have to pass the word on this one......nice car!!

[RutRoe]

Thanks guys... feel free to pass on the word. If you help me sell it, I'll buy ya dinner :)

I should mention that last summer the entire AC system was replaced and retrofitted with all the new stuff and it works perfectly...

That was almost 3 grand right there.

It's an awesome car, its just not what I need right now...but thanks again.

Bump for TURBOSssssssss PPPPsssshhhhhh

[Smokin_Joes_2kSi]

bumpage

Joe

[sebastianHoff]

bump for making me miss the father land.

[RutRoe]

Thanks gang... trades are welcome. Send me a PM with any questions...

[chuck]

you interested in a 99 R1 at all???


i was under the impression the the BMW model numbers were in series-engine size format (ie - 318 is 3 series with 1.8L, 325 is 3 series with 2.5L) .....this could be different thought because of the FI...dunno

[RutRoe]

You are exactly right.. this one apprently factored in the FI and added size to it. At least, that's what I found in my research.


What's really funny is lots of my friends with bikes have been offering me these bad ass bikes as a trade, and yet, I told my wife last year that I'd never get another boke since she lets me do whatever I want with cars...its a trade off.

But, if you want to try and sell your bike and make me an offer, I'm down with that.

Let me know gang

[Jin]

OMFG BUMP! Only a true bimmerhead would truly apprecite this

RutRoe, try www.bimmerforums.com

[Buford®]

Holy fuck, Rut. If I had the extra cash, you know I'd buy this from you. May be I can buy it from the left over money I make on the sale of the CL....
I hate to be a tire kicker, but I'd love to see this car in person. Bring it out to a meet real soon. I gotta see this thing.

[RutRoe]

Thanks Buford...I bet you'd love it....I had it at the Varsity last thursday night under the deck, and since the NASCAR season is about to begin, I don't know how many meets I'll make it to...

But, as soon as you sell the CL, let me know and we'll go from there.

Someone is talking to me about trading a Miata and some cash, plus I took BMW's advice and listed it on Bimmerforums, so I'm not sure what kind of interest it will generate...

But if anyone wants to see one that really hooked up, look at cardomain for a 85 or 86 7 series that's black with these 18'' M Parallel wheels... its hot shit.

[RutRoe]

TTT

Make some offers folks...

[Buford®]

Come to NP, Rut.

[RutRoe]

Come to owning a bad ass turbo BMW land, Buford :)

[RutRoe]

I'll consider trading it for a 4Runner or some sort of SUV for my wifey to play with... or something else and cash.

Hell if its something really nice, I can always give you cash.

For some reason she still wants a Land Rover or a Range Rover. Poop


Anywho, its a rad car, I know you'll love it and make money off of it if you sell it in the future.

[Buford®]

You can trade me the Bimmer, and you give me cash for Tha CL-S.

[RutRoe]

IF it was a 4 door, my wife and I might love it enough to do that... but the coupe isn't what she'd want.

I dig it, dont get me wrong... its the hotness.

[Buford®]

For some reason I actually returned your pm.


If you think this is only worth 2 grand, then you obviously don't know crap about the car.

With a nice paint job it's an 7-8 grand car easy...


Wow. That's a serious lowball.

Anywho, bump for a car that's worth every penny

[quazar]

hey rut.. if your wife is interested in a Ranger Rover 4.6 HSE.. my friend has one for sale in immaculate condition. i'm not sure about trades tho.. he already has way too many cars..

[RutRoe]

Eugene...I'd love the details on it, but I'd have to either get cash for this one of trade it to him plus some cash for it....

Maybe we can figure something out.

PM's returned....

[RutRoe]

Will consider trading for an EG plus cash... maybe even a dc

Let me know folks...

[RutRoe]

UPDATE

Just passed emissions today!

WEeee

[Buford®]

CL-S is still an option. I actually sat in the back of it the other night, and it was a full car. Wasn't bad, for being a coupe'.

[RutRoe]

I'd love to Buford... but this not having a car payment feeling is too sweet...

I'd hate to mess that up :)

[Stormhammer]

eruo is right - the buttons are in german!

but damn that thing is ganstah lol

[Buford®]

I'd love to Buford... but this not having a car payment feeling is too sweet...

I'd hate to mess that up :)

I know how you feel man. I'd love not having a payment. Good luck with the sale. I'd still like to see this car and meet you before it's gone.

[RutRoe]

Did I mention that the rear seats have an electronic recline ? For the serious pimpsters...

I drove it today... what an absolute beast on the HWY... make some offers, trades are possible...

[RutRoe]

Might accept a trade of a nice AE86 with some cash on the side for this monster....

Or maybe something funky. Old, new, who knows.

Make me some offers peeps..My friend Rob really wants it and he's been sweet talking me with a Mini project, but I dont have time to put it together....

[JDMshiZnit69]

Have you listed this on atlanta.craigslist.com ? Try there, im sure a bmw collector will buy it. I listed my old bmw on there and a collector came by and bought it. Brought cash too, didnt haggle on the price.
Nice bmw. Im a fan of older bmw's ive had 2 diff ones, currently ive got a 325i convertible id never part with.

[JoeCoolinATL]

rut you know im in love with this car. i want it haha i just dont have cash right now :( my plans have been foiled.

[RutRoe]

rut you know im in love with this car. i want it haha i just dont have cash right now :( my plans have been foiled.

I know you do man.. I'll pm you....

[sebastianHoff]

can you get the pics back up?

[RutRoe]

We-todd is switching servers so my pics are touch and go...

If there's a serious buyer then I'll be happy to email them.

My dog has some cancer in his mouth and we have to have surgery done, so the urgency of me selling this has been greatly increased.

Please let me know if you've got an offer...trades and cash or just cash...

Let me know. thanks !

Rut

[RutRoe]

MY dog came out of surgery just fine... TTT so I can pay for it :)

[Buford®]

Good luck with the sale, Mr. Roe.

[ultm8mind]

i had the od green one with the puke interior, LOL, when i was over there, was quick as hell with 5 of us in it. that thing was my land yacht

[Danny]

still avail??? wow!!!

[RutRoe]

It sure is... there's one on ebay with 212K miles on it and the reserves is 6K, so I feel like my asking price is more than fair especially with all the receipts and the great condition it's in....

Make me an offer.And thanks for the bump

[RutRoe]

Got my clean GA title in the mail today... I'd love to move it this week.

Bump for some offers....

[RutRoe]
