The BMW 7 Series E32, launched in 1986 and produced until 1994, represented a pivotal moment in the evolution of the luxury sedan segment. It was the first generation of the 7 Series to feature a completely new platform and design language, moving away from the angular lines of its predecessor, the E23, towards a more aerodynamic and sophisticated aesthetic. This shift was reflected in the E32's low-slung profile, flush-mounted door handles, and distinctive "shark nose" grille. Under the skin, the E32 introduced several innovations, including a fully independent suspension, power steering, and a range of powerful and efficient engines, including a 5.0-liter V12, a first for the 7 Series. The E32 also pioneered the use of advanced safety features, such as ABS brakes and driver airbags, further solidifying its reputation as a technologically advanced and luxurious flagship.
Beyond its technical prowess, the E32 7 Series cemented BMW's position as a purveyor of driving pleasure. Its precise handling, comfortable ride, and potent engines made it both a confident cruiser and a capable sports sedan. The E32's interior was also a testament to BMW's commitment to refinement and luxury. High-quality materials, intricate details, and an intuitive layout created an environment that was both stylish and practical. Available in various trims, including the luxurious "L" model and the high-performance Alpina B12, the E32 offered a range of options to suit individual preferences. Today, the BMW 7 Series E32 remains a highly sought-after classic, admired for its elegant design, driving dynamics, and lasting legacy as a symbol of German automotive excellence.
