This 1999 BMW 740i (E38) was built by the Japanese branch of AC Schnitzer. It is now up for grabs with 75,600 km (47,000) miles under its belt and a buy-it-now price of $40,000. For perspective, similar stock sedans cost around the $15,000 mark in the United States.
The famous German aftermarket brand equipped this luxury saloon with a body-matching aero kit, sports-grade suspension struts and springs, larger brake calipers and 19-inch Type IV alloy wheels. Lights were replaced with LEDs all around, and a sports exhaust system was installed for a louder engine soundtrack.
Novelty inside was limited to an oak-rimmed steering wheel and a new multimedia system. The black leather trim is stock and visibly worn in places. The 4.4-liter V8 under the hood is largely standard, too, but software tweaks raise its output by 28 horsepower for a total of 314 PS (310 hp / 231 kW) and 440 Nm (325 lb-ft) of torque.
The car appears to be in fine technical condition despite its age and mileage. The question is, would you ever consider buying one for the asking price?
