This 2001 BMW 740iL is one of approximately 899 examples optioned with the Highline Package, which specified Orinoco Green Metallic paint along with a unique Ecru Nappa leather interior with green accents and wood trim. It was sold on BaT in July 2018 before the seller acquired it on BaT in February 2021, and work since has involved installing 20-spoke Alpina-style 20″ wheels, badging, and bodyside graphics. Power is provided by a 4.4-liter V8 that drives the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission, and the car is further equipped with a power sunroof, xenon headlights, power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an infotainment system with navigation and a trunk-mounted CD changer. Now indicating 67k miles, this Highline 740iL is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, partial service records, a set of four wheels, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The long-wheelbase body is finished in Orinoco Green Metallic, and it was fitted with Alpina-style badging and silver bodyside graphics under current ownership. Additional exterior details include black-painted bodyside moldings, a power sunroof, and xenon headlights with washers as well as fog lights and a left kidney grille with tricolor BMW Motorsport accents. Scratches are noted on the rear bumper cover.
The 20″ Alpina-style 20-spoke wheels are finished in silver and mounted with 235/40 front Michelin and 245/45 rear Falken tires. The car is equipped with All-Season Traction Control and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC).
The Highline-specific interior features Ecru Nappa leather seating surfaces and door panel inserts with green piping, which are joined by a green dashboard, door trim, and carpeting. Wood trim accents the cabin, which is further appointed with power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, aluminum door sill plates, rear sunshades, and an infotainment system with a trunk-mounted CD changer navigation. The headliner and four rear speakers were replaced under previous ownership. The car phone is missing and the left-rear sunshade is broken.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel features an Alpina-style badge and frames a 155-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,800-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 67k miles, approximately 11k of which were added by the seller. The instrument cluster is said to have been replaced in 2009 at approximately 44k miles.
The 4.4-liter M62TUB44 V8 was factory rated at 282 horsepower and 324 lb-ft of torque. The timing chain tensioner and camshaft position sensor were replaced under previous ownership, while work under current ownership involved replacing the alternator and a coolant hose in 2022 as well as replacing the thermostat and fuel filter in April 2024.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed automatic transmission.
The removed 18″ BMW Style 37 wheels are mounted with Michelin tires and will accompany the car along with manufacturer’s literature and partial service records.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage.
