Sechs Geschwindigkeit: 2001 BMW 740i

The E38 BMW 7-series was the last BMW to be totally free of the Bangle styling that cursed covered the cars for a decade or so. Additionally the E38 was the last of the 7-series to come with a manual gearbox, but only in some markets....which I believe the USA wasn't included.  Find this 2001 BMW 740i offered for $6,500 in SF Bay Area, CA via craigslist.  Tip from FuelTruck.

 From the seller:

 2001 BMW 740i M Sport Package --- 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION --- 

 The transmission and majority of the parts were sourced from a low mileage e39 540i, custom driveshaft, new clutch master cylinder, euro e38 shifter boot, etc. 

 Being a sport package it has sport seats, black shadowline trim, sport suspension, a 3.15 sport differential, and sport steering wheel and staggered 18" M-Parallels. Car runs and shifts great, steering is tight and responsive. The car feels like a larger E39 M5.

    Looks like an honest typo fellas, based on the copy of this listing, but you have it referenced as a 540i in a couple places. Looks like they just got the transmission from a 540i. (And no, e38 never came to the US with a stick---E32 was the last, and for one year only---1988)
