1998 BMW 7 series 3 Quad Coupe 2D

This is one of the cleanest BMW 740IL's we have seen. This model is fully loaded for the year, which means it includes the screens and heated seats. This car has had two previous owners and clean carfax. In 1996 this BMW landed in NJ from Germany and spent a few years on the east coast. In 2002 it migrated to the Camarillo. It even has the foot rests in the trunk still. All of the pixels in the dash are good. The Tape player and radio work great. It also have a 6 disc cd player in the trunk. This is the IL model which means it is extended offering more room for the rear passengers. The front brakes have 75% pad left and the rear pads and rotors were replaced less than 500 miles ago. , , SPECIFICATIONS, , Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price $ 68,500, Price As Tested $ 69,295, Engine Type DOHC 4-valve 4.4 Liter V8 w/SPFI*, Engine Size 268 cid/4398 cc, Horsepower 282 @ 5700 RPM, Torque (lb-ft) 310 @ 3900 RPM, Wheelbase/Width/Length 120.9"/73.3"/201.7", Transmission Five-speed automatic, Curb Weight 4325 pounds, Fuel Capacity 22.5 gallons, Tires (F/R) 235/60R16, Brakes (F/R) Disc (ABS)/disc (ABS), Drive Train Front-engine/rear-wheel-drive, Vehicle Type Five-passenger/four-door, Domestic Content Five percent, Coefficient of Drag (Cd.) 0.31, , PERFORMANCE, , EPA Economy, miles per gallon, city/highway/average 17/24/18, 0-60 MPH 7.5 seconds, 1/4 Mile (E.T.) 16.5 seconds @ 92 mph, Top speed 125 mph, * Sequential port fuel injection, , BMW continues to dazzle the automotive world with its line of rock-solid sports sedans and coupes. At the top of the heap are the 7-Series models: the V8-powered 740i, the extended length 740iL, and the 750iL with its array of high-tech features and a powerful V12 engine. , , Recently, a BMW 7-Series was featured as the designated company car for James Bond in the newest 007 movie. However, his car has a few spy items not available on BMWs at your local dealer's lots. Bond's car is a highly modified 750iL model, but this week we test the 740iL. , , OUTSIDE - The 7-Series was redesigned in 1995 to feature a more assertive nose-down stance, and it looks lower and more aerodynamic than the 1988-94 7-Series models it replaced. The "L" designation in our test car's name refers to a 5.4-inch stretch over that of the regular 740i, which allowed a significant lengthening of the rear doors. This certainly makes climbing in back easier, but it also increases the distance needed to swing them open, which is sometimes a problem in crowded parking lots or narrow garages. Body-color bumpers and mirrors, along with extended lower body cladding give it a low, muscular look, while thin strips of chrome surround the side windows and grille, and wrap the car about knee level. A set of 16-inch cross-laced alloy wheels and grippy 235/60R16 all-season tires are standard. , , INSIDE - The front bucket seats are 16-way adjustable, contain optional heating elements, and have unique shoulder level adjustments. They also provide four-way power lumbar support. Memory settings for the driver automatically adjust the seat, outside mirrors, seat belt and steering wheel heights. Remote keyless entry is standard. The stretched 740iL interior offers nearly 42 inches of rear seat legroom, along with a ventilation port in the rear of the center console. Leather upholstery and walnut trim are standard, as is a powerful AM/FM/cassette stereo. The windshield wipers are intermittent
