I just got a new car!!

onefastman · 06-26-2010, 02:18 PM

I picked up a 91 735il today, it has 220,xxx on the clock but has been maintained to the t with rebuilt trany, new drive shaft, removed leveling suspension/new shocks, ac turned to r134a, etc. Every piece of electronics works including the reclining back seats

The guy has owned it for 18 years and is a two owner. Here are some pics with more to come once I get it cleaned up.

onefastman · 06-26-2010, 03:29 PM

Its auto, rides very well.

vgame64 · 06-26-2010, 03:34 PM

Beautiful car, hopefully it stays problem free for you.

...and wrong section?

onefastman · 06-26-2010, 04:23 PM

Ya I was so excited that I put it in the wrong section lol

Thats what I'm hoping for, already have to replace a coolant hose...

dzenno · 06-26-2010, 04:56 PM

I'm always shocked at how much electronics can be found in 7 series 19 years ago

onefastman · 06-26-2010, 05:00 PM

Ya it is a bit much lol

I am going to get everything set where I want it and remove the fuses that pertain to those parts to prevent anything from burning out or going bad.

onefastman · 06-26-2010, 07:38 PM

Funny, Top side pipe just blew up on the radiator.... New radiator and pipes.

Has the headliner been replaced yet? My friend has the same car and the headliner in the roof is hanging down big time.

onefastman · 06-27-2010, 07:56 AM

I would have to flip through the records yet but I assume so.

It has 220k on it and it looks pristine.

onefastman · 06-28-2010, 07:05 AM

If anyone cares I fixed it. New radiator and hoses all for $60!

Well played.

What are your plans for this car?

josephr25 · 06-28-2010, 10:29 AM

Good luck w/ those; we've had two in the family and they had some issues. As noted by another person, the headliner fell off one; on the same one the window trim in the rear kept falling off on the passenger doors. Our second one; the AC would only blow hot air, and the wood trim kept coming off. The onboard computer stuff on both never seemed to work.

churro · 07-01-2010, 09:07 PM

congrat!!!

ibeclueless · 07-02-2010, 03:17 PM

nice, congrats

ryanful · 07-03-2010, 04:14 PM

Good choice on the 3.5l six

the V12 is a pig.

AlpineBMWM3 · 07-07-2010, 05:06 AM

She looks amazing! Enjoy!

fwmcb · 07-10-2010, 10:08 PM
