Outstanding
example of an original R100/7 purchased in Germany and imported to US by original
owner from Idaho. BMW has always been stored indoors. When owner passed, his
son did a full cosmetic and mechanical restoration using OEM parts, as available and a local BMW professional restorer ($7,000 US cost).
Full restoration in 2015. Ridden 75-100 miles per year since.

Has both
the original seat (flawless) and panniers shown, but also has a comfortable
Denfeld German Police solo seat. Gas tank was dropped by painter during
restoration and a new BMW tank from Germany was obtained and installed.

Other
options include a weathered leather tank bag by Milano (MaxaKaido). Also has aftermarket
fog light on left. Tinted Caf'e fairing.

Full
repaint. Engine was disassembled and all worn seals, gaskets, etc. were replaced.
No wear on internal engine parts.

Has
toolbox compartment under seat, but no original tools. Starts instantly without
choke and runs smooth, but gets even smoother as it warms up. Tires are like
new and are date coded 2017.

No
expense spared on making this an excellent riding classic BMW that turns heads
everywhere it goes. Not your average used BMW. I wouldn’t classify it as a ‘10’
show bike although it has been shown successfully. It was restored to be a safe,
fun, reliable and smooth Classic Cruiser. I would say an 8 of 10. Nothing to
apologize for. The original owner who purchased the BMW in Germany and imported it to the US passed  several years ago. It was inherited by his son who hired a local BMW restorer to restore it cosmetically and mechanically back to original condition at a cost of about $7,000 US. 

Always full-service
maintenance completed annually with under 100 miles a year use since
restoration in 2015. Nothing to do to this bike but ride and enjoy! Where you going to find a comparable 43 year old classic BMW with under 18,000 miles?

Put this BMW on eBay last week and it sold, but the buyer did not have the funds to complete the purchase, so I am relisting it. Here are answers to some of the questions I have received on the BMW.It has been lowered 1.5" in the rear. The original German purchase/import documents are lost somewhere in the estate paperwork. Many have asked the reserve amount, which defeats the purpose of an auction. Had a $9,000 reserve on prior auction, but removed reserve on this auction. Want to at least recover cost of restoration which did not add any value for the low mileage original BMW, just restoration costs. Can add a Buy It Now price for good offer above $7,000. Posted locally on CL and KSL for $9,000. Reserve the right to sell locally and terminate auction early. The seller will not sell either of the seats separately. I am posting this for a friend/owner who does not use eBay. Owner is a aircraft mechanic for the Air Guard and works on A-10 Warthog jet aircraft engines. Meticulous mechanic/owner.
No receipts or paperwork on restoration shop or work done. BMW went from owner son to another owner in SLC and then to present owner. No way to verify what was done except the way it looks and runs. Only word of mouth from SLC owner.
Buy now for the upcoming riding season. This is an exceptional BMW both mechanically and cosmetically, as pictures show.
