The BMW 7-Series, a flagship luxury sedan, saw its third generation gracing the roads from 1986 to 1994. The E32 model, as it was known internally, brought significant advancements for the brand, establishing the 7-Series as a technologically advanced and refined choice for discerning drivers. The E32 was larger and more luxurious than its predecessor, boasting a spacious interior with high-quality materials and advanced features like standard power seats, air conditioning, and an optional sunroof. This generation also introduced the iconic "shark nose" grille design, setting a trend for future BMW models.
Under the hood, the E32 offered a range of powerful engines, including the inline-six M30 engine, a 4.0 liter V8, and even a 5.0 liter V12 for the top-of-the-line 750iL. The innovative use of an aluminum chassis, a first for a BMW production model, contributed to a significant weight reduction and improved performance. The E32 7-Series also pioneered advanced safety features like anti-lock brakes (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ASC), marking a significant shift towards safer driving experiences. These innovations, combined with its refined styling and luxurious interior, solidified the BMW 7-Series as a benchmark for premium sedan engineering.
