Vehicle description

Model history:

In 1986, BMW set out to outdo its archrival from Stuttgart with the debut of the second 7 Series and from then on claimed its place in the top automotive class. Claus Luthe's design ended the dusty styling of its predecessor, the E23. Clean lines and automotive grandeur were to make BMW an equal opponent to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. In addition to visual appeal, the E32-series 7 Series also offered technical refinements: An airbag for the driver, an optimized seatbelt system for rear passengers, and plenty of electronics made the 7 Series a pioneer of its time.
