Modified 1999 BMW 740i is for sale

Between 1994 and 2001, BMW produced the third generation of the luxury Series 7, the E38. It was a highly regarded car among fans of the Bavarian brand and many sedan enthusiasts, and is often considered one of the most beautiful sedans of its time. One modified example of this car, a 1999 BMW 740i, is for sale.

This BMW 740i was modified by German company AC Schnitzer and is sold under the name ACS7. It is painted in silver metallic and has a slightly sharper look than the standard model. It is equipped with a body kit that includes widened bumpers, sills, and fenders. The tuner also installed two stainless steel exhaust tips, LED taillights, new springs and struts, lowered the car and stiffened the suspension for a more sporty feel. The car is mounted on 19-inch Type IV wheels, and AC Schnitzer logos replace BMW badges.

When it comes to the powertrain, the car is powered by a 4.4-L V8 engine that, thanks to a remapped ECU, delivers 314 hp and 440 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission.

The car is located in Miami and is listed for sale on eBay. The asking price is $39,950.

Carlex Rose Vintage based on Mercedes G-Class

Since its introduction in the early 1970s, the G-Class has attracted the attention of many, even those who were not fans of this type of vehicle. The latest generations are increasingly attractive and tuners often use them in their projects. One such model was presented by Carlex Design, Rose Vintage.

Carlex Design is one of the few companies that creatively makes cars better than factory ones. Rose Vintage is just a continuation of the Vintage project that started in 2024 with the Carlex G-Vintage model. This example is painted in Pink and may not appeal to everyone.

The car is equipped with a unique body kit that includes a chrome bumper, a new radiator grille, wider wheel arches, a new rear bumper, and the Carlex logo instead of the Mercedes logo. The lower part of the body is painted in a delicate pink shade, while the upper part is white. It is mounted on a set of chrome rims with pink covers and tires with white side stripes in a retro style.

The interior is upholstered in pink leather, which perfectly matches the exterior. The leather covers the seats, steering wheel, dashboard, door panels and even the trunk. The ceiling is the same color but made of Alcantara, while the armrest has two white lines.

When it comes to the powertrain, it is not known if there have been any changes. As a reminder, the Carlex G-Vintage is powered by a 4.0-L V8 twin-turbo engine with 805 hp (600 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1,020 Nm) of torque, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels.
