Up for auction is 1986 BMW 745i Turbo Executive with 112,400 original miles. The exterior finish is Diamondschwartz Metallic (Black) with the Executive Leather Interior in Oyster (Cream) with Taupe Leather Trim.
This car was built in Germany in 1986 and imported into the US for the Chairman of Goldman Sachs in New York.  This was chaufer driven car that was eventually purchased by the chaufer himself.  The car was well cared for over its life and eventually traded-in by the chaufer on new Mercedes S500 in 2003. purchased the car at this time from broker in New York and imported the vehicle into Canada.  The car had 93,264 miles on the odometer when purchased it and the odometer currently shows approximately 112,400 miles. The car has since been fitted with an aftermarket Motronic chip, Cartech Fuel Pressure Regulator, Modified Turbo Wastegate, K&N Air Filter and Alpina Wheels.  The car is running conservative 9.5 lbs of boost that provides plenty of punch compared to the factory 2.5 lbs.   The car has also been fitted with console mounted boost, fuel pressure, oil temperature, and oil pressure gauges. The engine runs well, although the engine idle is bit rough when cold, and the car drives tight like BMW should.  There is small engine oil leak that believe is from the timing chain cover and the power steering system leaks bit as well.  I am not mechanic and encourage all bidders to inspect the vehicle prior to bidding. The air conditioning blows cold and most everything works including the power windows, power seat and headrest adjusters, windshield wipers, headlight wipers, rear defogger, heated seats, tilt and slide power sunroof, interior and exterior lighting.  The cruise control and the cockpit headlight adjustment are not functioning, and the driver's side electric mirror motor runs but the mirror does not adjust.  The car is equipped with an aftermarket Sony radio and cassette player that replaced the original Becker head unit.  The Becker unit in the rear armrest is still in place.   The car is equipped with the factory hydraulic self leveling suspension system, the large diameter sway bars, and rare Alpina wheels. The car has brand new quality battery, recent front brake rotors, new front tie rod and new sway bar bushings front and rear.  All of the locks function properly but at some point the drivers door cylinder was changed and thus the key for this door is different than the ignition.  I understand it can be keyed to match if desired but have not bothered as the driver's door lock unlocks all doors and the trunk at once.  This car is reliable and do not hesitate to drive it anywhere.  It is complete car that can be enjoyed in its current condition or restored to the highest level.  The body is solid although it has few bumps and bruises from daily use.  There are some small dents and creases in the body as detailed in the photos.  The plastic exterior mirrors are little chalky and could use vinyl polish to restore the original lustre.  The paint and chrome are in good condition overall and there is no flaking of the clearcoat.  There is some minor pitting of the chrome on the front bumper, and the grille kidney has couple of small dents in the surrounds.  There is some paint damage on the drivers side front fender that looks like something was spilled on it as shown in the photos. The car is not rust bucket as most of these cars seem to be believe that the car was never winter driven.  The car has been fitted recently with studded snow tires on the rear in the event that the car needs to be moved as it is in ski area that has already experienced dusting of snow.The body is solid but there is some corrosion at the bottom of the passenger side front fender just in front of the rocker panel as shown in the photos. Included with the car are two brand new BMW OEM factory front fenders (non-euro) and inner fenders that purchased from BMW dealer to use as donor panels for the lower front fender restoration.  I have many new and used spare parts to include as well including spare front euro grilles, headlight buckets and euro headlights, new outer tie rod, spare K&N Air Filter, transmission filter and gasket kit, spare washer fluid reservoirs, engine sensors, oil filters and more. Tires and brakes are in good condition. The weatherstripping is in excellent condition throughout with the exception of the drivers door.  It appears that someone attempted to open the door with wire coat hanger and damaged the weatherstrip and scratched the paint on the inside of the door in the process.  It still seals well without any noise or leakage and thus have not replaced it. 
The interior of the vehicle is the Executive full leather trim.  The seats, door panels, dash and console are all in original smooth leather.  
The seats are free of rips and tears and show the patina of naturally aged leather. The leather covered dash is near perfect and the interior finish can be described as beautiful and luxurious. The carpets are in excellent condition as well.  The windshield is BMW windshield with few small rock chips. The headliner has the typical soiled look of BMW headliner of this vintage. Perhaps it can be cleaned.  The sunroof does not leak and has not leaked in the time have owned the car.  The car is also equipped with factory roller sunshade on the rear window.  The trunk mounted tool kit is 95% complete and there is BMW first aid kit in the trunk as well.  The jack, wheel wrench and wheel chock are included as well as spare tire.  The carpet in the trunk is in good condition as well although the boot that covers the spare tire is non-original and not an exact color match to the trunk carpet. 
The car is available for local pickup in Fernie, British Columbia, Canada, about 45 minute drive from the US Border Station at Roosville, Montana, USA.   If necessary, it is the responsibility of the buyer to arrange transportation from this location at its sole risk and expense.    
I am available to answer any questions you may have about the vehicle, or arrange mechanical inspection locally on behalf of potential buyer.   The cost of such inspection will be at the bidder's expense.  I encourage all bidders to inspect the vehicle before placing bid to ensure that the vehicle condition is satisfactory.  Due to the age of this vehicle the vehicle is sold "as is" without warranty of any kind and returns are not accepted.  
Please ensure that you have sufficient funds available to complete the purchase before placing your bid. Buyers with any negative feedback ratings please contact me prior to placing your bid or your bid may be disqualified.
Payment is due in full within days of auction close.  Payment can be made by Cash in Person, Cashiers Check Certified by the Buyer's Bank or Bank Wire Transfer to the Sellers Account. Vehicle must be paid for in full before the vehicle is released to Buyer and Title is transferred.  
I am selling this car as am retired and downsizing my home and my car collection.  I have thoroughly enjoyed owning this vehicle and am still amazed at the build quality every time drive it.  The vehicle is registered in Alberta but is being sold from British Columbia as it closer to the US border.
Ask questions before you bid.  If you provide me with phone number will gladly call you to discuss the car in detail.
