2001 BMW 728i Sport (E38)
Cool and sporting
late model facelift E38 generation 7-series in desirable Sport spec with
sharp retro looks and prime comfort
Supplied new
in November 2001 this late model E38 generation 7-series comes to us in
desirable 728i Sport specification and is finished in Titan Silver, riding on a
set of AC Schnitzer style 19” alloy wheels, freshly refurbished which we think,
really set the car off a treat combined with the discreet bodykit and factory
lowered suspension of the Sport model.
Under
the bonnet, as a late model, face-lift version we find the TU (Technical Update)
version of BMW’s legendary M52 2.8-litre straight-six petrol engine featuring
variable valve-timing on both camshafts (double Vanos) which develops 190bhp and
280NM of torque driving the rear wheels via five-speed automatic/tiptronic
transmission with Sport mode.
Inside this
short-wheel base example we find extensive black leather covering many surfaces
including the doors, Sport spec seats with electric adjustment and driver
memory, dual zone automatic climate control with AC, parking sensors, cup
holders, sliding arm rest, front fog lights, OBC (on-board computer), cruise
control, multi-function steering wheel, rear ventilation, walnut trim, black
head-lining (Sport spec) and original radio/cassette player with boot mounted CD
changer.
We did note some of the orange pixels have suffered with time on
the radio display (see picture) which is very common for BMW’s of this era
although the radio still works as it should. This example also features privacy
glass and rear entertainment, with a pair of TFT screens built into the front
head restraints for rear passengers to enjoy and DVD module in the boot with
remote control (present).
In the boot, we find
an inflator canister and original tool kit with some spare wheel nuts (it’s had
new wheel nuts) and original locking wheel nuts.
The history file for this late model car (production reputedly
finished in July 2001) includes the V5C revealing six former keepers, the
owner’s pack & service book recording 12 stamps, the last in October 2021 at
131,802 miles (currently showing 132,468 miles), a selection of invoices
including some recent spend on a service kit, rocker cover gasket, suspension
arm bush, thermostat housing, track rod end, welding to NS and OS inner sill and
other historic bills for parts and maintenance dating back to 2005 at 65,352
miles.
In addition, we also find the current
MOT valid until September 2022 recording just one minor advisory. Ready to enjoy
and looking very smart this is one, Sporting and comfortable cool retro-ride to
rock around in.
