Its development lasted five years and benefited from computer-aided design with equipment that was very innovative for the time, such as cruise control, ABS, on-board computer and automatic air conditioning. It wasn't until 1979 that the range evolved with the high-performance 745i equipped with a 3.2-litre turbo engine with 252 bhp! With a torque of 38.7 m/kg and a top speed of 222 km/h, the flagship of the Munich-based firm could boast of driving its four occupants and their luggage on the holiday road at speeds that had previously been reserved exclusively for the best sports cars of the time. The model we are presenting is a first hand model purchased on 30 January 1981 at the BMW Jean Blaise Concession in Charleroi, Belgium. Always perfectly maintained, all you have to do is consult its maintenance book, regularly stamped throughout its life, or sit behind the wheel to rediscover its road qualities. A lover of luxury sedans, its owner used it alternately with a Mercedes-Class S to reach his workplace more than 100 km from his home. Today, with 177,213 km on the odometer, the condition of its interior is not lacking in German-made quality! The thick plastics of the dashboard are in perfect condition, as is the comfort of the seats and their navy blue velvet upholstery. Its owner will confide to us, amused, having waxed the woodwork annually to preserve it from the sun. Externally, the bodywork is beautiful and the sashes are perfectly aligned. Perfectly stretched, the paint is the original one except for the trunk, repainted in the 1990s. Starting at the very first pull, the turbo engine blows as early as 3,000 rpm and propels you forward without ever running out of breath. Sold with all of its books and user manual, its original radio, its complete tool kit and even its first-aid kit that's well housed in the rear centre armrest, this is a youngtimer that's rarely seen on our roads. https://www.aguttes.com/lot/111255/04aafffe-d31d-4a1b-95cf-5f4cac000a26
