Description

Listing my 1979 BMW 733i, finished in beautiful Ruby Red. Over $15k invested in the last four years, including a refreshed Euro 3.5 motor installed by VSR in New Hampshire. This was a lifetime California car that I bought six years ago, and drove across the country to South Carolina and then Vermont. It has been stored in the winters here, and driven lovingly on road trips around the state. Odometer is at 109k but hasn’t worked in years. True mileage unknown. This car was the hero car in the mu...

Our Take:
  • First of its Kind: The 1979 BMW 733i is part of the E23 series, which marked the debut of the 7 Series line—a flagship model for BMW. This was an era when BMW was seriously stepping up its luxury game, making this car quite a significant piece of automotive history. You don't see many first-gen 7 Series on the road today, which adds to its rarity and allure.
  • Special Heart Transplant: The refreshed Euro 3.5-liter engine is a standout feature. During the late '70s and early '80s, European models often had more powerful engines than their American counterparts due to stricter emissions regulations in the U.S. This unique engine upgrade brings a little European charm under the hood—it's like giving a classic rock song a modern remix.
  • Star of the Show: This car's cameo in Japanese Breakfast’s "Be Sweet" music video adds a sprinkle of pop culture pizzazz. Cars with screen time often gain special status among collectors and enthusiasts—like having a signed album from your favorite band. It’s an added layer of character that you won't find in your everyday BMW.
  • Road-Trip Ready: With its adventurous past, having traversed the U.S. from California to South Carolina and Vermont, this BMW is not just a museum piece—it’s a time-tested road warrior. The mention of it handling dirt roads and long-distance trips speaks to its robustness and the care it has received over the years. Owning a car with such stories is like having a passport with stamps from every corner of the world.
