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.

The 2010 BMW M5 is one of those cars that feels almost impossible by modern standards: a full-size four-door luxury sedan powered by a naturally aspirated V10 and sending its power to the rear wheels through a 7-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox. Showing approximately 115,170 miles, this Black Sapphire Metallic example captures everything that made the E60 M5 such an enthusiast icon. It combines genuine super-sedan performance with the comfort of Black Perforated Full Merino Leather, ventilated multi-contour front seats, soft-close doors, Head-Up Display, Comfort Access, and premium audio. Add the unmistakable 19-inch Style 166M wheels and you have a car that can blend quietly into executive traffic one moment and deliver the kind of high-revving V10 drama that few sedans before or since have ever matched.
The 2015 BMW i8 was one of the most futuristic performance cars of its era, combining exotic styling, carbon-intensive construction, and plug-in hybrid technology in a package that still looks remarkably modern today. Showing 28,371 miles, this example is finished in Sophisto Grey Metallic with Frozen Grey accents beneath a 3M white vinyl wrap with gold flake, paired with a Pure Impulse Carum Spice Grey full perforated leather interior. Its specification is especially notable for the Pure Impulse World Package, which adds distinctive interior and exterior details that give the car a more exclusive presentation. With its turbocharged three-cylinder engine, front electric motor, lithium-ion battery pack, and all-wheel-drive layout, this i8 remains a fascinating blend of sports-car design, advanced materials, and forward-thinking electrification.
The 1973 BMW 3.0 CS is one of the defining grand tourers of BMW’s classic era, combining elegant E9 coupe styling with the smooth power delivery of the company’s 3.0-liter inline-six. Showing approximately 36,319 miles, this example is finished in Polaris Silver Metallic over a Marine Blue interior and pairs its period luxury character with a 4-speed manual transmission for a more engaging driving experience. Highlights include wood interior trim, air conditioning, power windows, four-wheel disc brakes, and BMW multi-spoke alloy wheels, giving this 3.0 CS a strong balance of refinement, usability, and classic touring appeal.
