The BMW 735i and 735iL, produced between 1988 and 1994, were the entry-level models within the iconic BMW 7 Series lineup. These luxury sedans offered a blend of performance, comfort, and prestige that defined the era. Powering these models was a 3.4-liter, naturally aspirated, inline-six engine, known for its smooth and effortless power delivery, producing 218 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque. The 735i was the standard wheelbase version, while the 735iL boasted an extended wheelbase, providing additional legroom and passenger comfort. Both models were available with a choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions. Beneath the elegant exterior, the 735i and 735iL relied on a sophisticated suspension system featuring independent double wishbone front and multi-link rear setups, providing a balanced ride and handling experience. Inside, the cars offered a luxurious interior with premium materials, ample space for five passengers, and an array of comfort and convenience features, including climate control, power seats, and an optional sunroof. Although not the most powerful 7 Series models of their time, the 735i and 735iL were designed to be refined and capable, offering a rewarding driving experience. Their smooth engines and comfortable interiors made them excellent choices for long-distance travel, while their handling prowess and performance capabilities ensured that they were as enjoyable to drive on winding roads as they were on the open highway. As with other BMWs from this period, the 735i and 735iL were lauded for their build quality, attention to detail, and overall driving dynamics, solidifying their place as highly regarded luxury sedans of the late 1980s and early 1990s. These cars have since become sought-after classics, appreciated for their timeless design, reliable engineering, and ability to offer a touch of German luxury and performance even today.
