I am offering for sale this beautiful 1989 BMW 7 Series E32 735i, powered by the legendary M30B35 inline-six engine, currently showing 213,000 km (132,350 miles). This is a French-market car, originally sold new in France, with an Histovec history available since 1994, allowing its ownership history and mileage to be documented. I am currently the 5th owner. The car underwent extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration between 2025 and 2026. The goal was to preserve the original character and specification of this E32 while giving it a high-quality presentation and the reliability required for regular use.

SPECIFICATION This 735i features a particularly elegant and period-correct specification, perfectly suited to the philosophy of the BMW E32. The Delphin Metallic Grey exterior pairs beautifully with the BMW Style 4 wheels, which were available as an option on the 735i and fitted as standard on the 750i. The wheels have been fully refurbished to restore their original appearance. The interior features thick black leather upholstery with stitching, complemented by beautiful genuine wood trim. The power-adjustable seats are fully functional. The leather upholstery, dashboard, headliner and door panels are all in excellent condition. The rear axle is fitted with Bilstein suspension components, providing improved handling and driving comfort. I also chose to retain the character of French-market BMWs from the period, with yellow headlights and fog lights, as well as orange turn signals, consistent with the fact that this car was originally sold new
