The E32 7-Series BMW was something of a watershed when launched in 1986, with the Bavarian marque overtaking traditional rivals Mercedes-Benz in the luxury car stakes both in technological terms and, ultimately, sales figures. The stylish new lines of the second-generation 7-Series hid an advanced design, bristling with electronics controlling everything from the seats to the amount of wheelspin during acceleration. The 3.5-litre six-cylinder unit found in the 735i - one of the great engines - developed a healthy 211bhp and 305lb/ft of torque, giving a top speed of around 230km/h and was mated to a ZF four speed automatic gearbox with three different modes. Packed with features only now becoming commonplace on luxury saloons, the innovative E32 7-Series still offers exemplary road manners, levels of equipment and German reliability at an affordable price.
