Vehicle Description
2008 BMW 750LI Sedan
The official founding date of the German motor vehicle manufacturer
BMW is 7 March 1916, when an aircraft engine manufacturer called
Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG was formed. This company was renamed to
Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) in 1922. Aircraft engines,
motorcycles, and automobiles would be BMW's main products until
World War II. During the war, against the wishes of its director
Franz Josef Popp, BMW concentrated on aircraft engine production,
with motorcycles as a side line and automobile manufacture stopped
altogether. BMW's factories were heavily bombed during the war and
its remaining West German facilities were banned from producing
motor vehicles or aircraft after the war. Again, the company
survived by making pots, pans, and bicycles.
For consignment, a 67,571 mile long wheelbase version of the 2008
BMW 750i. With its utterly distinctive, aloof, and elitist look,
all you can think of is pure automotive beauty when gazing upon
this luxury sport sedan. Titanium Gray Metallic bathes the exterior
which sports a sunroof, and on the inside is a medium gray leather
interior. Purchased by our consignor in 2010 with 20,700 miles,
only driven by him, garage kept, serviced on a regular basis, and
with all service records dating back to 2010 we give you sport
touring and luxury all wrapped up in one well-built German
package.
Exterior
Nice tight gaps and an aerodynamically designed grille and
headlights, integrated body matching bumpers and smooth framing for
the windows allow this car to slip right through the air that gets
in its way going forward. The iconic dual kidney bean grille is
surrounded by some highlighting chrome and is fronting the way,
otherwise the car is clean and free from embellishments. A smoked
glass sunroof is installed and 19 inch wheels are on in alloy form
and wrapped by nice staggered width tires with plenty of miles left
on them. The wheels have some curb rash.
Interior
Stitched Gray leather adorns the door panels, seats, and center
console. This mixes with wood applique from somewhere within the
black forest, and molded gray vinyl. The seats are like new, high
back buckets with headrests also in gray leather, and power
adjustments. A nice original dash is upfront and houses all the
essentials and is fronted by a tech savvy steering wheel with
fingertip adjustments for phone and radio. Speaking of the radio,
it is an AM/FM/CD/Satellite radio unit and also features factory
installed navigation. A gray headliner surrounds the sunroof, and
all is tight and tear free. In back a bench seat stretches across
and has the option to seat a 3rd party or lower the armrest for two
to travel in ultimate comfort. This rear seat area is where the
extended wheelbase area was tacked on. An extra 5.5" of legroom is
provided for the rear seat passengers so they can ride in full
style. Light gray carpeting, presenting nearly new covers the
floors and all is looking really good!
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the 4.8 liter V8 power plant capable of making
360hp. This is fed by EFI and has the 6-speed automatic
transmissions on back. A 3.38 rear axle allows for a low gas using
highway cruise. Everything is very clean under this hood.
Undercarriage
The Germans just love over engineering things and this
undercarriage is no exception. Plenty of ground effect smoothing
panels, and independent suspension is all around, and of course
dual exhaust is on for the exhale. Power disc brakes are on all 4
corners. We do note some wetness in the front of the car, possibly
coming from the steering rack.
Drive-Ability
Looking like your average sedan but this car is anything but, this
car handles like it's on rails. It smoked the test track, and I had
to go around several times as I had so much fun, plus I thoroughly
enjoyed all the bells, whistles and gizmos including the heated and
cooled plus massaging front seats. The mighty V8 can easily break
the tires loose when you get goosey with your boot and it also
exhibited good solid braking, and tight steering and everything was
working as it should.
A surprise performer, not because of the fact of it being a BMW,
but because this is a driver's car. One to be enjoyed and be able
to whisk your passengers to the country club with luxury and room
to spare. It's no slouch when it comes to pure driving and
certainly not underpowered with the V8. Nicely taken care of, it
could be a great second car, and you can make it your daily driver
or even your night on the town ride. You know, spend some time with
the wife...well...maybe not!
