The E32-generation BMW 7-Series was the last of the classically proportioned Bavarian flagships—big, square-shouldered, and blissfully untouched by Chris Bangle’s flame-surfacing future crimes. Designed under Ercole Spada and Hans Kerschbaum, it managed to look both stately and understated—like a diplomat who moonlights as a getaway driver. This particular 735i dials up the rarity with a […]
This next car left the BMW factory quite a few years ago. 33 years to be precise. Let’s put that in perspective. If today was 1989, then the equivalent year would be 1956. Imagine daily driving a car from 1956 in 1989? Nope, not a chance. Or if it were 1956, you’d be trying to […]
The E32 generation (1987-1994) of 7-series was the final version of BMW’s flagship to run the iconic BMW quad round headlights and a big kidney grill. Interestingly enough, the width of those kidneys was larger if you opted to get the V8 or V12 models, probably an indication that you are the kind of buyer […]
The BMW 7-series doesn’t get much love from enthusiasts from the side of the pond because they were almost always equipped with automatic gearboxes, particularly the M60 V8 versions. However, the Ercole Spada designed E32 7-series isn’t a bad piece of machinery when you compare it to the 5-series, if you can get a manual […]
The E32 generation BMW 7-series is a classically styled big beast of a machine, thankfully free from all Banglized design elements and available with a clutch pedal. The design (credited to Ercole Spada and Hans Kerschbaum) is stately and understated at the same time, and has aged quite well if you ask this guy (but […]
In 1986 BMW launched its second version of its top-tier luxury liner 7-series with the E32 model. The E32 generation is a subtly styled sedan and BMW continued to push the 7-series as the luxury car for the ‘sporting’ driver by offering it with a manual transmission in the 6-cylinder models. Perhaps some bankers wanted […]
What happened to the 2pm post today? I had something scheduled, but somewhere in the complicated machine that is the Daily Turismo publishing house, something went amiss. In the words of the late great broadcaster Howard Cosell “Who goofed? I’ve got to know!” To tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I sort lost […]
The E32 generation BMW 7-series was built from 1986-1994 and offered high-end luxury cruising for 5 adults, but it was more of a car to be chauffeured than driven. Enter the Bavarian turner Alpina, which created hopped up versions with tuned engines, stiffer suspensions and sporty body kits. Find this 1989 Alpina B11 for sale […]
BMW launched its second version of the 7-series in 1986 with the E32 model which was lauded as being a handsome and modern styled sedan. BMW continued to push the 7-series as the luxury car for the ‘sporting’ driver and offered it with a manual transmission in the 6-cylinder models. Perhaps some bankers wanted their […]
