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.
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.
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.

BMW’s range has grown quite a bit over the past decade or so. You’ve got their electric ‘i’ range of course, then there’s the X range of SUVs, and of course the well-known number series of cars. Even here, gaps have been filled – for example the best-known 3,5 and 7 have now been joined by 1,2,4,6 and 8. Today, we have a 2026 BMW M4, which as you can possibly guess, is from the 4-Series. The 4-Series sits just above the 3-Series, as a spin-off from its coupe and convertible variants. But wait, BMW also made a 4-Series Gran Coupe, which is a four-door. Confusing much? Don’t worry because, as the name tells us, this M4 from Valparaiso, Florida, is the hottest 4-Series you can buy, and it’s a sleek two-door coupe. With a highly sought after premium exterior color and a superbly potent twin turbo six under the hood, it’s the perfect family car for an enthusiast, replete with only 1,300 miles to its name.
This 2015 BMW i8 stands out as a coveted early-production example equipped with the top-tier Pure Impulse World package, making it one of the most premium configurations available. Finished in Crystal White Pearl Metallic w/ Frozen Blue Accents, it carries the most iconic i8 look while pairing it with the Pure Impulse Carum Spice Full Perforated Leather interior—BMW’s highest interior specification for the model year. The combination of hybrid performance, exotic butterfly-door styling, and a $150K original MSRP positions this i8 as a futuristic grand-touring sports car with a luxury-focused package rarely seen on standard trims.
Forged from the desire to really make the Ultimate Driving Machine, the BMW M3 first appeared on BMW’s E30 generation of 3-Series, way back in 1986. Since then, every 3-Series, right up to the current G80 generation has had a corresponding M3. Throughout its life so far, the M3 has had four, six and eight-cylinder power. It’s enjoyed natural aspiration and forced induction. It’s been made in coupe, convertible, sedan and station wagon forms. But one thing has always remained true, its amazing enthusiast-pleasing driving manners. You see, the M3 isn’t about outright speed and power. It's never been about that. Instead, its about providing a package that’s engaging to drive and practical to live with. This G80-era 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive Sedan is living proof of that ethos. It’s a four-door sedan with all-wheel drive, the Executive Package, Carbon Fiber Trim Package and even a Matte Black PPF! And yet, it’s supremely amazing to drive while being able to carry your family on their regular errands. If you’re interested, this 21,380-mile car is currently available in Lima, Ohio.
