The BMW 7 Series E32, produced from 1986 to 1994, marked a significant evolution for the German luxury car maker. This generation, known for its sleek and timeless design, introduced a bold new aesthetic for BMW's flagship sedan, featuring a long, low-slung profile with a distinctively sharp nose and a gently sloping roofline. This design language, a departure from the more boxy previous generations, established a visual identity that would influence future BMW models for years to come. Beyond its aesthetics, the E32 offered a plethora of innovative features, including the first application of a digitally controlled engine management system in a BMW, the pioneering use of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) as standard equipment, and the introduction of a luxurious interior laden with advanced technology and comfort features.
Under the hood, the E32 7 Series presented a diverse range of powertrains, catering to a wide spectrum of driving preferences. From the potent 3.4-liter M30 inline-six engine in the 730i, which delivered a smooth and refined performance, to the powerful 5.0-liter V12 engine in the 750iL, capable of propelling the large sedan to impressive speeds, the E32 offered a compelling blend of luxury and performance. The introduction of the M70 V12 engine, the first V12 engine in a BMW production car, further solidified the 7 Series' reputation for engineering excellence and power. The E32's sophisticated technology and luxurious appointments cemented its status as a benchmark for luxury sedans, setting the stage for the continued success of the 7 Series in the years to come. It's this combination of innovation, performance, and refined design that makes the BMW 7 Series E32 a highly sought-after classic car today.
