Basic information and history

The 2002 BMW 745 iA marked the start of the E65 generation, with a completely new design, the first generation iDrive and the N62 V8 engine with Valvetronic and double VANOS. The model combines long-distance comfort with precise steering and an early-introduced six-speed automatic transmission from ZF, which provided lower revs and better drivetrain refinement compared to its predecessor.

This example was sold in Sweden in 2002 and is said to be fully equipped according to the period and equipped with the Cold Climate package for the Scandinavian market. The odometer reading is 232,000 kilometers and the seller can guarantee this. The car has reportedly not been driven in the winter for many years and all equipment should work.
