The 1988-1994 BMW 7-Series (E32) represented a significant leap forward in luxury and technology for the German automaker. It was the first generation of the 7-Series to feature an entirely new platform, ditching the older E23 chassis for a more modern and spacious design. The E32 introduced a host of innovative features, including a double-wishbone front suspension for improved handling and ride comfort, a fully independent rear suspension with a multi-link system, and a sophisticated anti-lock braking system (ABS) as standard. Under the hood, a range of powerful engines powered the E32, including the 3.5-liter inline-six in the 735i/735iL, the 4.0-liter V8 in the 740i/740iL, and the 5.0-liter V12 in the flagship 750iL. The E32 also introduced the world to the revolutionary electronically controlled automatic transmission, which provided smooth and efficient shifting, setting a new standard for luxury sedan performance. The E32 7-Series was renowned not only for its mechanical prowess but also for its luxurious interior and cutting-edge technology. Its cabin was meticulously crafted with high-quality materials and ergonomic design, offering a premium and comfortable driving experience. The E32 introduced features like a digital instrument cluster, a premium sound system with an optional cassette or CD player, and a multifunction steering wheel, offering advanced features and convenience for the time. The introduction of a long-wheelbase variant, the 735iL, 740iL, and 750iL models, provided even more legroom and comfort in the rear, catering to the discerning clientele who demanded ultimate luxury and comfort. The E32's elegant exterior styling, with its sharp lines and distinctive grille, solidified its position as a flagship luxury sedan, a testament to BMW's commitment to delivering both performance and opulence.
