1994 BMW 740i E38 for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1994 BMW 740i E38 is a used car showing 94,000 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in Aspensilber with a Tartufo interior.

The official BMW dealer Vogelsang Automobile in Recklinghausen delivered this 740i new on 4 October 1994, making it one of the earliest E38s, built in the year the generation was launched. It has had two German owners from new, both of them holders of a doctorate, and the bodywork still wears its factory paint throughout.

The cabin has kept its hide, wood trim and switches in very good order, and the factory order lists further items: headlamp washers, automatic headlamp levelling, an auto-dimming mirror, a green-tinted windscreen band, a through-loading ski bag and velour mats. A service has just been carried out. The listing is marked as expected: the photographs published so far show the service books and invoices, not the car.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The BMW 740i (E38) uses the 3,982 cc M60 V8, rated at 286 PS (210 kW) at 5,800 rpm and 400 Nm at 4,500 rpm, a limited 250 km/h and 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds with the automatic, with a five-speed automatic gearbox or, from launch, a new six-speed manual, driving the rear wheels.

FAQ

This BMW 740i in the European market

Is this BMW priced above or below the European market?

At €44,500, it sits below the median of €71,745 for the 457 BMW advertised in Europe in 2026. 16% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this BMW be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this BMW 740i cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €53,941 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €44,500, 18% below it. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1994 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this BMW compare?

94,000 km recorded, against a median of 18,125 km across the BMW advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other BMW are priced closest to this one?

a 1990 car in Germany at €44,500, and a 2023 car in Romania at €44,545. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer.

Can this BMW 740i be inspected before purchase?
