BMW's flagship car: the 7 Series. Auto journalists called the E32 generation ‘the best passenger car in the world’, thanks in part to the optional V12 engine. An original example with low mileage is a rarity these days. The one we offer is one with the most powerful M30 6-cylinder engine available with 211 hp. On 11 May 1987, the car was delivered new in central Germany. In 2006, the car was fitted with a new circuit board, as a result the odometer reading cannot be fully authenticated. However, the condition of the car does suggest that the actual mileage is also very low. In 2011, the BMW was imported to the Netherlands where it has been owned by the same owner to this day: an enthusiast. Service invoices from both its time in Germany and the Netherlands are present. Also present with the car are: valuation report from 2023, original sales brochure, radio booklet, instruction booklet, old German registration certificates and Dutch MOT reports. The extensive documentation indicates a past with good care. According to the valuation report, the paintwork is still completely original. This paintwork concerns the chic original colour ‘Lachssilber metallic’. Furthermore, the car is equipped with alloy wheels, a sunroof, front and rear electric windows and electric sports seats. Other technical highlights for the time include the ABS system, on-board computer and traction control. Driving the BMW is ‘Freude am Fahren’: the wonderfully smooth 6-cylinder engine sets the rear-wheel-drive car in motion powerfully but subtly. It is superbly handled by the 5-speed manual gearbox, which is purely rare for this model. All in all, an excellent combination between sportiness and comfort.
General information about the BMW E32
The E32 was built as a second-generation 7-series from 1986 to 1992. Initially, 3 engines were available of which two were 6-cylinder engines and a V12: the 730i, 735i and 750i. This 750i was the first deliverable BMW with a V12 and also the first post-war German car available with a V12. This added to the name recognition of the flagship, which had to compete with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Later, the 7 Series also became available with a V8 engine. In the 735i, the M30 engine delivers a capacity of 3,430 cc and produces 211 hp, allowing the car to accelerate to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 230 km/h. The design is characterised by the ‘Hofmeister’ kink in the line of the rear window and the L-shaped rear lights, which were first used on the E32 to improve safety.
