This 1986 BMW 735i Sedan is a fine example of a first-generation BMW 7-Series, the car that started BMW's current full-size luxury car competitor. You won't find many of these coming up for sale, as buyers at the time had no idea what the 7-Series would spawn, and while over 285,000 were built, not as many as you'd expect ended up in the United States. Sporting 120,000 miles, this car has done some decent traveling but has plenty of life left to give. It's worth the attention of a BMW fan or car enthusiast.
Exterior and Interior
The straight tan paint job on this 1986 BMW 735i Sedan isn't likely to attract too much attention, but those who recognize it as the trend-setter that it is will pause and give it a long look. We are told that this car sports new tires on new 16-inch wheels with an added spacer, as the wheels are likely from a newer BMW model. At the front, you'll find BMW's iconic kidney grille, albeit much smaller than today's models, and a quartet of headlamps, plus twin foglamps. You can also see the elongated bumpers that were mandated by North American safety norms at the time. Now, it's time to enter the luxurious cabin of this 1986 BMW 735i Sedan and see what the luxury car buyer of 1986 would receive. Quite a bit, actually. There's air conditioning that's reportedly been rebuilt, power adjustable driver and front passenger seats with memory for the driver's seat, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, a BMW radio cassette head unit, and a trip computer. Rear seat passengers receive their own set of air vents and an additional cigarette lighter, which can be used as a 12v power port too. The driver faces a set of clear analog dials that are a refreshing change from today's psychedelic digital displays and receives a little check panel to the left of the cluster that warns of any light bulbs being out. There's also a dinky stalk to operate the cruise control.
Engine
This 1986 BMW 735i Sedan comes with a 3.5-liter in-line six-cylinder engine that was factory rated for 182hp and 214lb-ft when new. It drives the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission that's reportedly received a fluid change, and the engine has received an oil change as well.

Few vehicles embody the spirit of late-1990s BMW performance quite like the Z3 M Roadster. Developed by BMW M to bring genuine sports car dynamics to the compact Z3 platform, the M Roadster combined classic rear-wheel-drive handling with the legendary S52 inline-six engine and a standard manual transmission. This 1998 BMW Z3 M Roadster shows approximately 35,878 miles and stands out thanks to its desirable Dinan performance upgrades, including a high-flow cold air intake, high-flow throttle body, engine software tune, and front strut tower brace. Finished in Cosmos Black Metallic over a Black interior, this low-mileage example offers a compelling blend of open-top driving enjoyment, analog BMW M performance, and period-correct Dinan enhancements from one of BMW’s most respected aftermarket tuning specialists.
This 2015 BMW i8 Coupe was one of the most futuristic production cars of its era, blending exotic supercar styling with groundbreaking hybrid technology and lightweight carbon fiber engineering. Showing just 6,195 miles, this example remains exceptionally preserved and showcases the bold innovation BMW introduced with its revolutionary i performance lineup. Finished in Sophisto Grey Metallic with BMW i Frozen Blue accents over a Giga Amido full perforated leather interior, the i8 still looks strikingly modern even a decade after its debut. Combining dramatic scissor doors, a carbon fiber passenger cell, and a turbocharged hybrid powertrain, the i8 delivered a vision of what performance cars could become while maintaining everyday usability and impressive efficiency. Low-mileage examples such as this continue to stand out as highly collectible modern BMW halo cars.
Introduced as the high-performance flagship of BMW’s E46 3-Series lineup, the E46 M3 remains one of the most celebrated modern M cars ever built. Blending naturally aspirated power, balanced rear-wheel-drive handling, and timeless styling, the E46-generation M3 has become a benchmark among enthusiast performance cars. This 2003 BMW M3 Convertible shows approximately 43,217 miles and is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over a Black leather interior with a matching black convertible soft top. Equipped with the desirable 3.2L inline-6 and a 6-speed sequential manual transmission, this M3 delivers the engaging driving experience that helped cement the E46’s legendary reputation. Additional highlights include Xenon headlights, rear park distance control, Harman/Kardon audio, aluminum shadow trim with ambient lighting, and upgraded aftermarket multimedia equipment for enhanced daily usability.
