Lot details Registration No: H957FBC Chassis No: WBAGB42080DB34258 Mot Expiry: March 2006
Intended to compete with the Jaguar / Daimler XJ40 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class etc, the E32 7-Series BMW saloon range was launched in 1986. Adhering to BMW's self-professed 'ultimate driving machine' ethos, its all-round independent coil-sprung suspension was tempered by anti-roll bars front and rear. Despite the availability of various V8 / V12 powerplants later on, many felt that the original line-up of straight-sixes offered the best compromise between power and economy. Rated at 220bhp and 232lbft of torque, the popular 3430cc unit was reputedly capable of propelling the 735i from 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and onto 137mph when mated to optional four-speed automatic transmission.
Finished in red with grey leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in average (alloy wheels / tyres), good (sport / manual mode enabled automatic gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork) or excellent (engine) condition. A 'special equipment' model, it reportedly benefits from an on-board computer, sunroof, memory seats, alarm, overmats, cruise control and a passenger door mirror that dips when reverse gear is engaged etc (though, its air-conditioning is not currently functioning). Said to be in just its third ownership and to have covered 98,923 miles from new, it was apparently treated to a new radiator / fan last year. Offered for sale entirely without reserve, this executive express comes with its "original tool kit and first aid box" as well as a "stamped service book", MOT certificate valid until March 2006 and road tax current until February 2006.
