1992 BMW 740iA

Basic information and history

The car is one of the last 200 produced and was specially ordered by a customer with, among other things, double glazing for a quieter environment in the cabin. The customer never collected the car and BMW's CEO of Brussels drove it for two years and then sold it to a private person. Shortly thereafter, the person passed away and BMW bought the car back. The car was registered in Sweden in 1998 and, according to the statement, the car were driven approx. 33000km during this period.

As of today, the car has had 6 users according to the register, two of whom are brothers of the current owner. The car comes in a nice condition and has managed time well. To combat rust, the car was treated with Tectyl. The odometer reading today stands at 180110km and can be guaranteed by the current owner.
