1979 BMW 7 Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This BMW was 1979 733i with a 4-speed manual transmission. It was originally a Utah car that came to Minnesota in 1999. It was in decent condition when it came, but after 1 winter just about every panel on that car was rusted all the way through. It's owner gave it to me, if I could fix it. It had trouble idling, so I bought a 2nd hand air flow meter from a salvage yard and it ran like a champ. The exhaust was rusted, so it was loud, and the transmission whined through 3 of the 4 gears, but on the highway, this baby was a dream! She would scream down the freeway better than lots of cars half it's age! I loved driving that car. The gas mileage was terrible, but that didn't matter to me at all! I drove that car from 2001 to 2005 until the transmission went out. Actually only first gear went. So I just started in 2nd gear for a couple days, and decided it was too risky and parked it. It sat until one snowy winter day, when the towing company came and took my beemer. I haven't seen it since! May she rest in peace! Aug 18, 2008
