The BMW 7 Series (E32), a luxury saloon that redefined the segment in the late 1980s and early 1990s, was a significant departure from its predecessor. Introduced in 1986, the E32 marked the first time the 7 Series adopted a more aerodynamic and modern design language, shifting from the boxy lines of the E23 to a sleek and flowing silhouette. It also featured a new platform, codenamed E32, which incorporated advanced technologies like a fully independent suspension, electronic power steering, and an extensive use of aluminum for weight reduction. Engine options ranged from the powerful 3.5-liter inline six-cylinder in the 735i and 735iL to the 4.0-liter V8 in the 740i and 740iL, culminating in the flagship 5.0-liter V12 in the 750iL. While the 735i and 740i were standard wheelbase models, the 735iL and 740iL offered an extended wheelbase, providing extra legroom for rear passengers. The E32 boasted an opulent interior with premium materials and advanced features like an optional automatic climate control system, navigation system, and telephone. These innovations cemented the 7 Series' position as a leader in the luxury segment, setting the stage for future generations to follow. The BMW 7 Series (E32) truly captivated the automotive world with its innovative engineering and design. It was the first 7 Series to feature a driver airbag as standard equipment, offering enhanced safety for occupants. The E32 also introduced a groundbreaking feature – a rear-wheel steering system called "Integral IV" – which improved handling and stability at high speeds. This system, along with the advanced suspension and powerful engines, made the E32 a capable and agile car despite its size. The E32’s success was solidified by its robust build quality, reliability, and impressive driving dynamics, making it highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors today. Its iconic design and engineering innovations left a lasting impact on the automotive industry, solidifying the 7 Series’ reputation as a benchmark in the luxury sedan segment.
