At the forefront of automotive innovation, the E65 and E66 were the fourth generation of BMW's 7 Series and were used by the German carmaker to introduce many novel features, including the iDrive infotainment system, active anti-roll bars, a six-speed automatic transmission, an electronic Smart Key (dispensing with the traditional metallic key), and night vision. It was also the world's first car to use an electric parking brake and the first BMW to feature directional and bi-Xenon (HID) headlights. The prestigious BMW E65 and BMW E66 luxury cars graced the roads from 2001 to 2008. Often colloquially referred to simply as the E65, these vehicles took the mantle from the esteemed E38 7 Series and offered a range of engine options, including petrol and turbo-diesel straight-six and V8 engines, as well as a petrol V12 flagship model.
Manufactured in 2004, the 745i offered was supplied new by BMW Warwick on the 23rd December that year. Fitted with the 4.4-litre V8 engine with the six-speed automatic transmission, it was specified from new as a BMW Individual Special Equipment example, and as such was finished in BMW Individual Le Mans Blue Metallic and BMW Individual Cream leather, and Piano Black Trim. Boasting a huge specification, the BMW features a glass sunroof, 20-inch BMW Individual Wheels, BMW Individual illuminated entry guards, Dynamic Drive, HiFi System, Sports steering wheel, comfort seats with memory, lumbar support, comfort access with soft close, side airbags for rear passengers, Auto Xenon lights, adaptive headlights, Park Distance Control, voice control, automatic air conditioning, Anthracite headlining, cruise control, and full size spare wheel.
Offered now having covered just 69,000 miles from new across five former keepers, the BMW is offered with the original BMW stamped service book that displays eight services, with six of them (including the most recent) by BMW main agents. The most recent being from BMW Sheffield, with under 1,000 miles covered since. Presenting nicely for its age, and incredible value considering the original list price, the 7-Series has a full-size spare wheel and tyre, first aid kit, spanners, tow eye, and navigation CDs. Being sold now as the vendor has had some difficulty selecting reverse. Benefiting from a BMW alternator fitted in 2023, the 745 is offered with excellent previous MOT history and a no advisory MOT certificate until May next year.
