What affects its junk value

  • Age: at 31 years old, most of a 1995 7 Series's value comes from reusable parts and scrap metal, not resale.
  • Weight: as a midsize car, it weighs less than a truck or SUV, so its value leans more on parts than on scrap weight. See how scrap prices by weight work.
  • Catalytic converter: like all gas and diesel cars, it has a catalytic converter containing precious metals, one of the most valuable parts on a junk car. An offer assumes it's still in place. More on catalytic converters.
  • Recalls: NHTSA lists 5 recalls for the 1995 7 Series. Open recalls don't stop you from selling or junking it.
  • Known problems: owners reported the most issues with the fuel system, gasoline, typically around 94,000 miles. If that's what failed on yours, it can still be sold as-is.

1995 BMW 7 Series recalls

NHTSA lists 5 safety recalls covering the 1995 BMW 7 Series. Open recalls don't stop you from selling or junking the car, but check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see which apply to yours.

Engine and Engine CoolingAug 1998 · NHTSA campaign 98V178000

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. A malfunction or failure of a coolant system component, such as a thermostat, water pump, or fan belt, can result in significantly increased coolant temperature and system pressure. If the indications of a critical overheating condition is not noticed by the driver, it is possible that damage…

Risk: If a crack were to form or a seam were to separate in the heater core end piece, hot coolant could suddenly be expelled, increasing the risk of personal injury to a vehicle occupant.

SuspensionAug 1997 · NHTSA campaign 97V140000

Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Road grit and gravel associated with winter road conditions can penetrate the rubber of the lower front spring mounts and accumulate in the mounts causing notches or pits to develop. These notches can develop cracks resulting in breakage of a bottom coil of the spring.

Risk: The vehicle's ride height could be affected causing noise while the vehicle is driven. The vehicle's dynamic stability can be affected reducing the driver's ability to maintain control of the vehicle.

Vehicle Speed ControlAug 1997 · NHTSA campaign 97V131000

The cruise control and throttle cables are attached to the same throttle valve actuating lever at the throttle housing. It is possible that the plastic bushing on either cable could break due to environmental influences coupled with vibration. If the bushing breaks, the outer cable housing can separate from the bushing. In this case…

Risk: This could cause the throttle valve to remain partially open. It his were to occur, the car might not decelerate as expected increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Fuel System, GasolineDec 1995 · NHTSA campaign 95V238000

Fuel seepage can occur between a hose and the metal fuel line on either end of the hose resulting in fuel odor.

Risk: Fuel leakage could potentially result in a vehicle fire.

SuspensionOct 1995 · NHTSA campaign 95V192000

The lower suspension arm mounting eye on the right side rear axle hub carrier was produced with a casting flaw.
