Default My new daily driver

I know it’s not a Jag but was super stoked and thought I’d share it here. It’s a one owner 1986 German spec 735i with only 40,000 kilometers. Everything works perfectly and drives like a dream! Just needs a proper detail and couple little odds and ends. I look forward to enjoying this one for years to come.

Very nice and rare find, congratulations. The German/euro spec with the smaller bumpers makes a big difference. Did you find it locally? I've had an eye out for a manual E23 for a while and came close to buying a few, including an L7, although those only came with the auto box. It seems like every time a see a nice one it's located in the pacific NW or California.

Thanks! It was actually a neighbor’s car that purchased it new but is now pretty old and just didn’t use it anymore. I was always fond of it and when I was approached to see if I was interested in buying it I didn’t hesitate. I would have loved if it was a manual transmission but I wasn’t going to pass on it either way.

" . . . and couple little odds and ends."
It's the " little odds and ends" that get you.

Just kidding. Nice car!
