Anyone want to lend me R69k?

 

[zaleonardz]

That is really rare.

A true collector needs to own that car...

 

[veridico]

I agree, I wish I could go and get it now.

 

[msm]

Wow - that looks neat. Hope it finds a good home.

 

[Jandre]

5000 km?

 

[Sankekur]

That looks awesome, I am just wondering, that colour doesn't look standard, and the price would then be very dependant on how well the respray was done.

I think the millage is reflective of the rebuild also.
But they are wicked machines, they cruise like a ship.

I think on the pics it looks ok, but yes, those km's are from the date of rebuilt, not from date of manufacture.
I would like to get the numberplate and run it, to see if I find something funny on it,
or maybe go have a look, and if its crap, I can sommer "Skiet die bliksem!"

This is the car that made me fall in love with BMW's. My uncle used to own a 930 in the mid 80's and this was the only car that ever kicked his @ss and then it was outfitted like a limo.

My dad had one, back in the day... But he always said his was the one with the M1 motor...

South African 745i
A 745i without turbocharger was built specifically for the South African market. The right-hand-drive version was not possible with the turbocharged motor due to the proximity of turbocharger in the right-hand side of engine bay. Instead, it was fitted with the detuned version of 286 hp (213 kW) dual-camshaft 24-valve M88/3 M1 Motorsport engine with a Bosch ML-Jetronic fuel injection system. This particular motor was also fitted to the first-generation M5 and M635CSi. A production run of 209 South African 745i was built from 1984 to 1986: 192 were built with automatic gearbox and 17 with 5-speed manual gearbox[3].
BMW South Africa ran one of these 745i models in Class A of the South African Modified Saloon Car Championship, the only BMW-Sanctioned motor sport application in the history of BMW 7-series cars.
