De Trunk, De Trunk: 2003 BMW 745i

This past weekend I wrote up a E38 series and mentioned it's shape seemed to be aging very well.  The E65 7 Series that followed came with a polarizing new exterior design (then and now) and was the first BMW to use the also polarizing iDrive interior command center.  This was a 80 some odd thousand dollar ride back in 2003 so it was at the top of the food chain for BMW.  Today's car has had a recent full drivetrain swap (good), but the dash is lit up like a Christmas tree with idiot lights (bad).  Is this bargain priced Bangle butt sedan worthy of your greenbacks or a giant money pit?  Find this 2003 BMW 745i for sale in New Haven, CT for $2,750 via craigslist.

Long Wheelbase: 2003 BMW 745iL

The E65 generation BMW 7-series was the first generation of BMW's plus sized luxury car to NOT be available with a manual gearbox anywhere in the world.  It was unfortunate to see the manual shifter go, but the number of well heeled buyers who wanted to shift their own was very limited, so if you want to drive an E65, at least get the long wheelbase E66 version.  Find this 2003 BMW 745iL E66 here on eBay offered for $3,999 buy-it-now or make-offer located in Clearwater, FL.

3k: Seller Submission: 1984 BMW 745i Turbo 5-Spd

If you pay attention on this website you might notice that we typically don't feature cars that have been covered by any of the big players in the classic car blogosphere, such as Bringatrailer, Jalopnik's Nice-price-or-crack-pipe by the always entertaining Graverobber (someday I'm going to hire that guy to write for this site!), autoblog, hooniverse, et cetera...but today we are going to make an exception because the seller sent the following note:   I’ve submitted it to a few other worthy sites; they’ve all felt it was worth blogging about. I’m flattered (but there’s no place like DT). I’d feel privileged if you could abuse my CL ad with the usual DT commentary…any feedback from your legions of well-read blog followers is more than welcome.  Oh flattery will get you...somewhere...how about here: Find this 1984 BMW 745i Turbo 5-Spd offered for $3,500 via craigslist, located in Bethel Park, PA.

5k Flash: Turbo EuroTrash: 1982 BMW 745i E23

The 745i was a turbocharged brute of a luxury sedan from BMW before it started building M-cars.  It was only available in mainland Europe, so you can only get grey-market imports here in the USA, and price will be a premium.  However, a few extra dollars gets you a 3.2 liter turbocharged inline-6 making 252 horsepower and 276 ft-lbs of torque mated to a 4-speed auto in the E23 shark-nose 7-series body.  Find this 1982 BMW 745i sedan for sale in Ramsey, NJ currently bidding at $5,103 reserve-not-met with 1 day to go. Bidding stalled at $5,100 reserve-not-met the last time this thing came to auction....hope the seller drops the reserve.
