Comments from the seller
Up for sale is BMW’s coveted modern classic grand tourer, with a very desirable specification.
Under the bonnet sits a 4 litre V8 developing around 210kW, which is sent to the rear wheels via a smooth five-speed ‘Steptronic’ automatic transmission.
This unique car is a 1994 Australian-delivered example finished with black exterior and black leather upholstery, and fitted with several M-Technic options such as the side mirrors and 17-inch ‘throwing star’ light alloy wheels.
The vehicle was first purchased in NSW via a BMW dealer, with a purchase price of $215,690.
The car was driven by a female owner for most of its life, with the last 8 years being owned by the previous owner and myself. Both car enthusiasts with car collections, resulting in the addition of only 2000kms during our ownership.
The car is currently registered in Victoria on club/heritage plates (non-transferable) and the odometer currently indicates 193,420 km.
Accompanying the vehicle will be its original owner’s manuals and service book, various pieces of sales literature, and a collection of maintenance invoices.
