E&C’s verdict:
We’re delighted to offer for sale this beautiful BMW 7 Series E32 730i, an iconic executive saloon from the great BMW era—today a true collector’s piece. Our example, from the south of France, has been preserved from harsh weather conditions: no corrosion, solid chassis, running gear in excellent condition. A rare and much sought-after healthy base. Second owner, kept since 1992 by the same lady owner (born in 1948). This 7 Series has always been maintained with the seriousness befitting a great car of this calibre and has always slept in a garage. Everything is a testament to care and diligence: remarkably preserved interior (dashboard, wood trim, seals and trim), bodywork in its elegant, uniform original patina. Under the bonnet, the legendary naturally aspirated straight-six M30 engine, famed for legendary robustness and smooth running—here paired with a manual gearbox, a configuration that has become extremely rare on the 7 Series. A combination that delivers genuine driving enjoyment. For the sale, our BMW has just been through a major service, including a complete vehicle check and re-trimming of the headlining roof by our trimmer. Elegant, reliable, fully original and in great condition, this E32 is a rare opportunity to get access to a collectible BMW that remains perfectly usable on a daily basis. A status saloon that’s timeless and already highly sought after by keen enthusiasts of the marque.
