1-owner '81 735i manual :)

[MalayCooper]

Just thought of sharing a few pictures of MOM's (yes my mom is a petrolhead!) '81 735i Manual. Resurrecting her after 9 years parked in the garage due to faulty fuel pump...

Original sport steering and leather

Original leather

Rear electric reclining mechanism still works after 31 years...

Original 5-speed

Rear seats looks like it never been sat on And finally... after a good wash...

PS: I hate the wheels... Im looking for BBS rims or maybe the original FUCHS rims. Hope you like them pics...Syed

Never thought that I would ever see that generation of 7-series in such a pristine condition and jaw-dropping-ly gorgeous!

I'm also digging the 70s 3-spoke steering wheel. Never seen that design from BMW before. Brings to mind the steering wheels in sexy 70s Italian beauties: Alfasud, Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Countach

Although I would say the FUCHs rims would look best on her, I am curious on how they would look like on the E38 rims.

According to Ebay, the steering is US$480...

Sadly Alfetta belongs to a young Alfista from Klang now, sold for RM5,600. I still have the '90 Alfa 164 though. The Dodge is terrorising Shah Alam on weekends too hehe.

Now next project this E23 735i, Insya Allah
