Description
BMW 750 iL | 1989
Highlights
– 5.0-litre 12-cylinder petrol engine
– Automatic transmission
– Original paint showing light age-related marks
The seller offers for sale a 1989 BMW 750 iL sedan powered by a 5.0-litre twelve-cylinder petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. This example was imported from Japan and has covered only 74,500 km, used sparingly on sunny summer days by the current owner. Regular checks have been carried out, including fluid and filter changes for the engine, gearbox and hydraulic suspension. A recent TÜV inspection included the installation of new rear lights and minor part replacements. The paintwork is original with light sun-related marks, small dents and light scratches but no corrosion. The interior shows minimal wear and remains tidy overall, though some functions such as the radio and side mirrors may need attention. The car holds a valid German TÜV with historical plates and is described as drive-ready, though some routine service may be advisable due to limited recent use.
The BMW 750 iL stands as one of the most important luxury sedans of the late 1980s. Introduced as part of the E32 generation, it was the first BMW to feature a V12 engine, marking a milestone in the brand’s engineering ambitions. The model offered a refined driving experience with strong performance, smooth power delivery and advanced comfort features for its time. The long-wheelbase version added rear-seat space, enhancing its appeal among business owners and long-distance travellers. Known for its quiet ride, solid build quality and understated styling, the 750 iL gained a reputation as a flagship sedan combining technology and prestige. Today, well-kept examples attract enthusiasts who appreciate its significance, mechanical sophistication and classic executive presence.
