Penned by Claus Luthe (successor to Paul Bracq), this technologically advanced big sedan was launched in 1986 (1987 in US due to stricter emission control standard) as replacement to the bullet proof E23 series. Aimed at the growing luxury automobile market, the E32 was designed to benchmark and exceed its main rival, the then popular Mercedes S-Class (W126 - W140 chassis). With a production span from 1986-1994, the E32 gained much popularity from the wide selection of engines, from entry level I-6 to the uber luxurious V12. For the first time, extra rear legroom was made available in the stretched “iL” version.
This 1986-91 730i replica is made by Minichamps, and this is the only E32 model made in 1/18 scale. This is a “must have” if you love the E32, but don’t like to deal with the maintenance. Finished in Sterlingsilber Metallic, the level of details is typical of Minichamps quality with carpeted interior/trunk, and intricate BMW forward folding hood mechanism.
Specs:
- 2,986 cc, M30 I-6, ZF 4-Speed Automatic
