The BMW 740i and 740iL, produced from 1987 to 1994, were the flagship models of the third generation E32 BMW 7 Series luxury sedans. These vehicles offered a blend of performance, luxury, and cutting-edge technology for the time. The 740i was the standard wheelbase version, while the 740iL featured a longer wheelbase, providing more rear legroom and an even more opulent experience. Powering these elegant machines was a 4.0-liter M60 V8 engine, capable of producing 282 horsepower. This engine, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, allowed the 740i and 740iL to achieve a top speed of 149 mph and sprint from 0 to 60 mph in a respectable 7.8 seconds. The 740iL, however, was slightly heavier and therefore had a slightly slower acceleration time. Beyond the impressive performance, the 740i and 740iL were renowned for their luxurious interiors. These cars featured opulent leather upholstery, plush carpets, and a plethora of comfort features. The dashboard was designed with a driver-focused cockpit, where the driver could easily access all the controls. The 740iL, with its extended wheelbase, boasted even more luxurious features and offered a truly opulent rear seating area. Some of the advanced technology that was groundbreaking for its time included electronic climate control, an onboard computer, and a self-leveling suspension. The integration of these features made the 740i and 740iL not just powerful sedans but also driving machines that offered a true blend of comfort and technology.
