BMW 735

The car originates from Austria and is a 1989 model equipped with the M30B35 6-cylinder engine and automatic transmission.

The car has undergone a complete restoration.

It still has its original Austrian documents, all of which are complete and available. I personally used the car with an I registration plate, and I can also assist with the registration/paperwork process.

The paintwork is original from the factory, except for the three doors, which were replaced due to a common model-specific issue and subsequently repainted. The bumpers have also been repainted.

Apart from this, the car has been repaired by a body shop in two places: above the fuel tank and at one point on the wheel arch. The engine has never been opened or rebuilt; it runs smoothly and has a very nice sound.

The air conditioning works perfectly. At a constant speed of around 100 km/h, the car consumes approximately 9–10 litres/100 km.

Structurally, the car requires no further major investment. Everything that needed to be repaired has been taken care of.

I can also include an M Parallel wheel set, which is subject to separate negotiation.

Due to the complete suspension refurbishment, the car has excellent road holding and there are no rattles or unwanted noises.

Known faults / imperfections

The car retains its original factory paintwork, so there are naturally a few minor scratches. The paint can be polished if desired.

* Approximately 2 cm dent at the bottom of the left rear door
* The tyres on the original factory wheels need to be replaced
* The headliner is sagging slightly at one point in the rear
* The lumbar support on the driver’s seat is not working
* One transmission seal is leaking a small amount of oil

Overall, this is a fully restored and mechanically sorted classic BMW, with a very strong and smooth-running M30B35 engine, automatic transmission, excellent suspension and a large amount of work already completed
