Luxury class station wagons are very rare, because classic notchback sedans have dominated this segment for decades. So it never happened that a German premium manufacturer on this side of Porsche decided to bring a luxury station wagon onto the market. Studies such as the Audi Avantissimo, which was supposed to suggest the potential of a luxury station wagon to customers, never made it into series production, and so the only option left is to resort to a custom-made model from a body forge if you think of yourself to get a luxury station wagon. Not quite, because now there is a BMW 735i in Switzerland for sale, of which only 3 pc were built. The copy from 1983, probably from the British company Crayford was converted to a station wagon, is for astronomical 120.000 SFR, which is about 111.000 Euros corresponds, just offered.

three 7 Series Touring models built

But how did it come about that Crayford converted three 7-series sedans into station wagons? The Euler car dealership, which still offers BMW models to this day, gave the British the order to build the models. In Germany, however, the Touring 7 series was even not eligible, because supposedly load-bearing parts in the rear area were removed, so there was no blessing from TÜV. It is also interesting to know that this 7 Series Touring is already there For sale in the US in 2011 was offered on eBay! The Swiss BMW dealer Flückinger Automobile from Bertschikon, according to its own statements, bought the car there and brought it back to Europe, where it is now for sale again. The fir-green 735i Touring with beige velor interior is in an optically and technically perfect condition, although it has already traveled a few long distances. A curiosity are the rear lights of the car, which one of them BMW 02 from the period between 1973 and 1975. On the other hand, it is very surprising that the touring's rear seat cannot be folded down. Thus the variability of the trunk suffers enormously, and that is an absolute obstacle, especially in the estate segment.

3,4-liter in-line six-cylinder as the drive

The R6 petrol engine in the 735i Touring, the without turbocharging has to get by, makes 218 hp. The ad says 204 hp, but it should be a small one Misprint act that is forgivable. Unfortunately, we do not know anything about the performance of the probably unique BMW, but that is also not important, because performance is irrelevant in such a rare automobile. In addition, they shouldn't really differ from the sedan. The 7 Series will probably find its way into collectors' hands anyway, and may never really be moved again. By the way, the XL-Touring is said to have only run 11.000 miles (approx. 17.700 km), but unfortunately there are very contradicting information.

A unique dream for investors and car collectors.

Such a car is an investment for the future, because in this condition it is guaranteed not to be cheaper to get. But there is also some risk because 111.000 Euros are not a stick-out, and you have to be aware that the performance is completely unclear. In the worst case, it can happen that the value of the car stagnates and that it was hoped for Increase in value (almost) completely absent.
