1989 BMW 750iL E32 Sedan - Burgundy Red - 191,554km - 5.0L V12 Automatic
Overview
The BMW 750iL represents the pinnacle of 1980s luxury sedan engineering. Launched in 1987, the E32 7-Series established BMW's flagship credentials with its advanced technology, refined performance, and uncompromising build quality. The 750iL designation denotes the long-wheelbase variant, offering enhanced rear passenger accommodation and a commanding presence on the road. This 1989 example carries the legendary M70 5.0-litre V12 engine, a naturally aspirated twelve-cylinder powerplant that delivers 300 horsepower and 450 Newton-metres of torque through a smooth, responsive automatic transmission. The V12 engine remains one of the most coveted powerplants in classic BMW collecting, prized for its silky delivery, mechanical sophistication, and the unmistakable character of twelve cylinders working in harmony.
This burgundy red sedan presents as a well-preserved example of 1980s German luxury. The paint holds good gloss across all visible panels with minor stone chipping consistent with the vehicle's age and kilometres. The body lines remain straight and true, with panel gaps even and aligned. The four-door configuration provides practical access, whilst the five-seat interior layout offers genuine comfort for long-distance touring. The odometer reading of 191,554 kilometres reflects genuine use over more than three decades
The E32 750iL occupies a unique position in the classic car market. These vehicles have appreciated steadily as collectors recognise their engineering significance, rarity, and the diminishing supply of well-preserved examples. At current market valuations, E32 750iL models in this condition range from AUD $18,000 to $28,000 depending on service history, originality, and mechanical condition.
