Basic Information and History

With the E32 750i, BMW took the step into the world of twelve cylinders and thereby became the first European manufacturer after the war to offer a V12 engine in series production. The engine, the 5.0-litre M70 with a 60-degree cylinder angle, aluminium block and single overhead camshaft per bank, delivers 300 horsepower and a powerful torque curve that allows the large luxury car, at just under two tonnes, to move with that characteristic silence. The design with two separate engine control units, one for each cylinder bank, is a piece of late-1980s technology that still impresses. As is well known, top speed was electronically limited to 250 km/h in accordance with the voluntary agreement between the German manufacturers.

This example is a 1990 750i that was imported from Bulgaria by the seller. The odometer reading is 233,446 km and can, according to the seller, be guaranteed. The car has had two owners in total and is stated to be in original condition. There are no loans on the vehicle and no deductible VAT applies.

Condition

The windows are said to be in good condition. Some rubber trim, including around the door handles, has dried out.

Interior: The cabin and dashboard are, according to the seller, in good condition. The headliner, however, has flaws, as the rear section is sagging while the front section is intact. All seatbelts function and no warning lights are illuminated on the dashboard. The climate control needs refilling to work, and the stereo is not functioning. Other electronics are said to be working.

Tyres and Wheels: Nokian WR friction tyres, 225/60 R15, with good tread depth on original wheels that show signs of oxidation, and the BMW badges on the hubs are worn.

Mechanics and Function: The engine is described as being in excellent condition and starts and runs without issue. The transmission is likewise said to be in excellent condition and shifts flawlessly, and the brakes receive the same assessment. The car is drivable as it stands and has passed inspection.

Service History

The vehicle is stated to be fully serviced, and the seller states that receipts and documentation exist to substantiate the service history. The most recent inspection was carried out in January 2024, and the seller states that the car will have a fresh inspection at the time of sale.
