1990 BMW 7 Series 750i from Finland - Comments

Are you sure the starter is good? Did you reset the computer? email: chris@rareturbo.com for 750il questions and soon to be selling duel exhaust and cold air intakes for these which add MAJOR HP.

Hi BMW enthusiasts, My first suit & tie car was a 77' 320i. Loved it till I was side swiped by an 18-wheeler on a Dallas freeway. Now I got a chance for a 90' 750il with 56K original on it for $3500. What should I check out on it? Any help or comments are/would be appreciated.

I exchanged a truck I wasn't using for a '93 750il in very good condition, and was given a '89 750il they were stripping for spares for free. I decided to repair the car and am very happy with the results. I now have two very smooth, very fast cars with everything you could want in a car.

I am an aircraft mechanic and I imported the Bentley's 7 Series manual from the USA, which is most helpful. I have other more economical cars and pickups to drive, but use every excuse possible to drive one, or the other, of these beautiful machines, especially the '89, which I brought back to life.

At 19 plus years old, this car still handles and performs like a new car.

I bought my 1990 750IL in 1995; one owner, a Doctor, kept it under roof even at his office.

I know someone that has a german car repair business, and when he heard what I bought he said you will be spending a lot of money for repairs, well thankfully that never happened. The first few years I drove it all the time, but after adding 40K miles, I just drove it a few times a month, and now just when I want to enjoy the car, it still looks like new.

When I changed the wheels to a sporty low profile look, the car was reborn.

I am happy to say that I might spend about 7 to 800 dollars a year for repairs and up keep. I have other cars I drive all the time now, but every once in a while I like to drive the 750, that car still kicks A__ and turns heads with its bronze paint and light tan leather.
