I bought an #E32 #735iL! This is a car that I have never seen at a car show or on the road in my entire life. These are as rare as they come, you just don't see them around. The E32 is the big daddy 7er and shares the design elements with the E34. The E34, by the way, is rapidly rising in price over the past two years. This is likely because the E30 prices have shot up so high, that the affordable #E34 became a substitute. Until E34 prices started climbing. Well folks here is your last chance, get an E32 before the prices take off. Buying an E32. Buying a 735i. Buying a 735iL.

I LOVE THIS CAR!!
FYI The passenger side heated seat DOES work. It only works when the passenger seatbelt is buckled in. That is unique to the early e32 heated seat switch design.
Those seats are in great shape for 30 yrs old. Car was well taken care of. Nice!
The leather is soft and buttery! I can’t believe how clean the interior is. Two previous owners were doctors.
BIMMER ZEIT how many miles on the clock? I had an E30 from that generation of bmws. They are tanks and very reliable.
@@johnwoolfrey5093 it has an incredibly low 139,000 original miles! It was owned by a doctor and garaged its whole life. I think the garaging is what kept the interior so well.
In fact, it is "Iceland green" as Island is the German name for Iceland 😉 great car 👍
Thanks for clarifying Patrick! 😆
@@BIMMERZEITT You're very welcome. I sometimes just wonder, which strange names they give their colors 😁
Greetings from Bavaria, Home of BMW
@@PatrickLibertatis can’t wait to visit Germany once this pandemic is over!! Will need to start learning more German 😎
@@BIMMERZEITT You are welcome to do so 😉 but in Bavaria you will not learn German, rather Bavarian or Franconian, even harder 😜
I had back in 1997 a blue 730i (inline 6) from 1986. Loved this car!
You paid $2,500 for the most beautiful BMW in history. Stop complaining young man, and get those little things fixed. Gorgeous car.
The 735 is a great car. I drove a 735i/5-speed for many years, and loved it. The M30B35 in the e32 is a great fit.
And yes, these cars are absolutely unstoppable in snow with LSD and good snow tires.
Thanks David. Glad to hear you enjoyed yours, I think the build quality is very high. Classic now, yet modern enough to still be in service daily. I think the e32 is under-appreciated right now, but that will change soon.
Hi Rich,
I’m really impressed! Outstanding purchase, and remarkable condition for its age
I think you have “ a keeper “!
I’m sure the paint correction and rust issues can be overcome with your ability to find cost effective solutions.
Also, nice to see some interesting external locations in this video!
Looking forward to the next videos.
Cheers
Thanks Philip, I appreciate it. You’re right, it just might be a keeper. I think I like this car more than my e28 or e90... there’s just something about it!
Great color. Iceland Green only made from `90-`93. Paint and interior look superb. ASC+T was always in an option, unless you had a later 750iL E32. ASC+T was seen mostly after 1990. For a period, you could get ASC+T and LSD in the `91-`93 era. If you buckle a rear-seat belt with car-on, the corresponding rear-headrest will go up. You were lucky to find this, especially on Facebook marketplace. Driver's wiper is upside down. Deflector should be faced-down. Early models also had a speed-sensitive pressurized driver side wiper. Projector-Beam Headlamps yes, the E32 introduced (HID was not a term used until much later). Xenon lights came out in 1991-1992 on the the 750 and 850.
Wow, excellent information! Thanks so much for sharing it with us here. I bet cars with both LSD and ASC+T are very rare. I will try the rear seats buckled in. I just discovered that the passenger front seat heater works - the seatbelt must be buckled and the car running - it does work!
I flipped around the driver side wiper deflector, thanks again for the tip!
@@BIMMERZEITT You're welcome. LSD and ASC+T (Automatic Stability Control+Traction) was more typical to find on the `92-`93 535i. Interesting the seatbelt has to be buckled for the pass. heated seat to work. I like the "executive" master key you have - more common on 750s. I have a stock E34 in the same color... Let me know if you ever want to do a photo/video shoot. Also in CT. Headlamp and Foglamp Washers in action... th-cam.com/video/Mds7kewHpjM/w-d-xo.html
@@1984AP I checked your Nürburgring video from your channel. Wow, nostalgic stuff, beautiful cars...
@@darkages9507 Thank you.
I think the E32 is the best generation of the 7-Series. The most beautiful and doesn't have as complicated electronics as the E38 and newer. I think I would go for the 740 if I was buying one. The M30 is probably easier to maintain, but it's pretty archaic and I believe it gets worse gas mileage than the V8. Or perhaps swap an S52 in which would be a good choice for a reliable daily and fairly easy to install using E34 parts.
So far gotten 0.8L/10km with a 735 and 730i highway and my daily 730i with average speed of 35 km/h as it sits still in traffic half the time gets 1.3L/10km, so far from great but not horrendous
Hey, also purchased 92 735i a month ago, absolutely great choice I also have heating problem on drivers site and some rust, but still the car is amazing you can check on my channel.
Nice car
Beautiful car! I'm glad that there are people like you buying and showing to us especially for young generation!
Thank you Mantas! 😉
Great car! Love your videos, as others have said, your calm mannerism is easy to hear and-calming, lol 👍
Love this creamy interior. Very clean and beautiful! I have LSG in my ‘93 740i, wish it were as wrinkle free..
One other interesting fact about the E32s-They were the first BMW ever where the side windows were integrated to be a part of the cars overall structural rigidity. It might have been the first car-period to have this 🤔
I also bought my E32 sight unseen and had to have it because it is an exact replica of my very first BMW I ever bought used in 1998. So many memories come back. I paid 2500$ and it had been sitting outdoors in San Francisco on a used car lot, forgotten for about 17 years. It’s clear coat was very dusty but it polished out. All of those “first 5 things” were certainly needed immediately;) I’d add-cabin filter, too!
For me then it was also Giubo, brake booster, headliner; dash lights, shifter bezel and lights, new headlights, door handle gaskets, fuel pump, cooling system components...I’ve lost track 🤪
But since all of the initial stuff, have gone from 121k miles to now 167k in about 3.5 years VERY trouble free. It’s such a sweet car
Haha thanks Brian, I try to keep it real. A bit more speed and enthusiasm would probably make the channel more popular, but I try not to be fake.
Interesting fact about the structural rigidity. They also did away with the rain channels and overall this generation had significant wind tunnel testing vs. the e23 and e28 generations.
The long list of repairs never ends does it?! But the satisfaction is worth it.
Шикарная е32! состояние супер! цвет и комплектация, цвет салона очень нравится :) отличная покупка.
Спасибо, мой друг
I have translated this with Google: "Gorgeous E32! super condition! color and equipment, interior color love :) great buy."
Here's my reply: "Thank you my friend"
hi there can I get help for Anti-thef alarm system how I fix it I have same model 735i e32 1991 , if any one can help me please..
Beautiful E32 that is in excellent shape. That is a keeper. My mom had an 1988 the first year of that body style. I was about 8 years old when she had it. That is how I became obsessed with BMW's. The E34 & E32 generations are my favorite.
Hey Jacky, thanks for dropping by. Your mom must have great taste!! 😎 I’m sure those are great memories for you. When I drive this car I can’t help but think about the life of the original owner who could afford such a car in 1990. Very cool.
amazing car and video. May i know the costs to fix your heat and air con system as well as the power seat?
Very mice car ,i have the same one only 730i .Greeting you from Germany 🇩🇪
Состояния идеал 👍мне очень нравиться е32 хорошая покупка
amazing ! like my e32 ! sub!
Very clean. I love the color.
Beautiful car... I have a 92 735i myself. 😊
You see this comment people?! Even James Bond drives an e32!!
I have the same exact car I learned more about the car
very nice car!!!!!!
BMW 7 ❤❤🤩🤩💚💚

nice car. that was an excellent deal! bmw really did a good job on improving the motronic.
Is the best series 7 of al ages
What’s with the black box on the a pillar and rear windscreen?
On the A pillar that’s a mic for the car phone. At the rear is an antenna base, antenna itself is missing
For some reason im looking for one of these now lol not a good thing if u want yout money back let me know 2500 honestly is a steal imo
Totally! It will be a $10k+ car shortly 😉
Beautiful car and my favorite interior!
Thanks!
I would have bought this e32 for 5k easy
You have it in such good shape and color, wish mines were so good. Im planing to do a restoration
Are you sure that it's a used car ? Looks gorgeous and new !
Super nice car!! A few months ago a 5 speed 735i popped up locally to me. I drove it and I loved it, but the seller wanted 5k for it. It had around 200k miles. It was in decent shape, but I couldn't get him to budge on price. Such a cool car. Super stable and smooth, plus the ride was amazing considering how well it handled.
Thanks Alex. The 5 speeds are quite rare, so that seems like a fair price for one. With E34 prices rising the last few years, the E32 is next. Not many of them left these days! They ride and drive amazing, I’m a big fan.
Oh, look at those seats :D why they have better design and everything than seats in my younger bmw e38 from 2000?! :D
I agree. The E38 and later seats have harder seat cushions/less padding, not gathered as nicely as a the E32 and E34. Sadly most don't fare as well as this E32 in this video.
The car looks like it is in great shape. It looks as solid as a Tank......I bet it rides great on the Highway above 80, that is what I believe the 5 & 7 Series were built for.
Thanks, it has been garaged since new. It is built like a tank, I really like this generation of BMW building. It’s a classic but is also modern, vs. an e28 which is classic but doesn’t feel modern.
awesome car, enjoy it,congratulations
Russian mafia cruiser in its day
I'm discovering that the E32 is still very popular in Eastern Europe... and not really anywhere else! It's a fascinating cultural observation.
2000 Canadian or usd?
$2,500 USD
These are soooooooooo much nicer than a W140 S Class imo. Great find, looking forward to more content on it
Thanks Joe. More on this car coming shortly. It’s a blast to drive!
Classic ride😎 very solid condition for the price as well.
Thanks!
Nice car but just an FYI the HID lights actually debuted on the 92 cars but could be retrofitted to earlier cars. I don't recommend the earlier systems for three reasons:
1) The old Hella system, despite still available from BMW, is around $2k per side.
2) this version of system is low beam HID only, bulbs are sealed in housing. BMW only sells complete housings, not individual bulbs.
3) HID only, no angel eyes or LEDS. Light output is pathetic for the cost. Totally not worth $2k per side. Several aftermarket companies sell much better systems for just a few hundred dollars. The Hella system is completely unique and nothing else interchanges. Hella won't support this system either.
Brian, thanks so much for posting this comment! I had no idea about any of those things. I was reading into the HID setup and how rare it is on these cars, I am surprised that the bulbs are not replaceable. That is crazy expensive! Do you know what year switched over to the sealed beam lights from ellipsoids?
@@BIMMERZEITT They didn't. These were an option. Ellipsoids were not legal on US cars at the time. Ellipsoids had a different socket and a different harness. I will look up the link with the information.
Most subsequent owners couldn't afford to replace these assemblies when they burned out. Most owners either reverted to halogens or sealed beams, converted an aftermarket or E38 or E39 system over to their E32.
HID headlights were a very new technology at the time and the lights were sealed for safety reasons. The lights utilize an electrical ballast box that has to momentarily generate thousands of volts at a time to excite the gases in the bulb to generate the light. It works on a similar principle to neon or fluorescent lights but adapted for automobiles. This was a very new technology in the early nineties. The high voltages briefly required by the system are also why it used a 30 amp fuse instead of five for the conventional lights. It doesn't need thirty amps all the time, just for the brief second the lights are turned on.

Awesome buy! Congrats!
First I love it. Classic bmw and an underrated generation. Second please talk me out of getting an e63 M6, I don't know how much longer I can resist.
Totally underrated and forgotten! But not for much longer... oy the v10 can be trouble. Ask Nathan’s BMW Workshop here on TH-cam. He has the e60 M5.
@@BIMMERZEITT I know but... v10 lol
E63 M6 had the S85 V10. Notorious for eating its camshaft bearings. Once that happens, it's bye bye engine, hello $35k replacement engine. You can get a 645i putting out 445 hp (just 55 hp shy of the S85, minus 2 cylinders, but won't eat its camshaft bearings). Main maintenance items of N62/N63 is chainguides and oil service valves.
Good luck.
Hey man, I’m selling an e39, any ideas on where I should post it?
You could try Facebook marketplace, though it can be tricky. Lots of people bothering you about it and not serious. You may also want to try bringatrailer.com if the car is in nice condition.
Carsandbids.com is a great place to put your car up for sale. They specialize in cars from 80s and newer. Skip facebook and craigslist. Too many scammers and nonserious tire kickers.
BEAUTIFUL
Niiiice Roadship
Looks great, love the longer version of these cars .
This is the longer version. iL means long wheel base
Respray aside, it looks really well taken care of!
Thanks William, yes aside from some poor paint repair it really was taken care of and garaged. I’ll get it sorted out in time!
Great purchase 👌🏻 pure luxury
Thanks Luke! 😉
$2500 is a damn good price for that car..but please don't kid yourself that you can deduct a phantom delivery price and make it cheaper,thats just not logical thinking..the price of the car is what payment you handed to the seller..just my opinion..happy driving!!
fair point
The long-wheelbase E32 and E34 Canadian/Euro-Spec cars optioned with headlamp and foglamp washers. The E32/E34 were the only cars I am aware of that had foglamp washers.
Thanks for another great tip. I just checked under the front bumper and found, low and behold, a sprayer nozzle on each side aimed at the fog lamps. Brilliant!
@@BIMMERZEITT Happy to help. Nice! The long-wheelbase US E32s came with them. Hope they all work. There's a maze of hoses inside the bumper, and junction boxes. I'm amazed at how nice your car is. Mileage? Rust? Records?
@@1984AP Haven't tested them yet, but washer fluid leaking out from some broken connection. A few jets on driver side are missing, so pieces need to be replaced. It has 139,XXX miles two owners. Last owner was long time owner 20+ years, a surgeon in NYC. No records, they were all pulled. I have found that a lot of long time owners of expensive cars don't want their info passed on to future owners. It is unfortunate. There are a few small spots of rust, overall though very minimal for a New York car.
@@BIMMERZEITT My Washer Fluid was leaking from a junction-box behind the front bumper where various hoses are for the washers. The end-caps for nozzles can't be ordered separately - requires new nozzle units. 139K - looks like it has less than 70K - especially the interior. Makes sense about the records - sad. When Covid improves, let me know if you would be interested in doing a photo/video shoot. My car looks VERY similar (same color combo) but in E34 form. Will be installing my snows, on the same type of wheels your 735iL has. They'd be like clones.
@@1984AP thanks for the offer, yes will let you know when covid improves. Appreciate that!
I purchased a 750iL, V12, was a pain in the ass, expensive parts and the rear shocks cost a fortune. Ended up selling it on. Good luck.
Ah yes the v12 is a different beast. This car has a very basic m30 6 cylinder. So far I have found the maintenance parts to be dirt cheap. $9 filters, $50 brake rotors, $30 for set of spark plugs and so on. Of course the 750 has two of everything! Two sets of plugs, two AFM’s, two ECU’s... and so on!!
@@BIMMERZEITT Nice, sounds like a good compromise for sure. Mine sounded like a bottomless pit so decided to sell it.
I did love the old school looks and space, it was an eye catcher of a car.
Good luck with it :-)
@@statyisgod Thanks Chuck. I hear you though, a lot of these BMW's end up being money pits. I try to bring my cars to a happy 80% condition, trying to take them all the way to perfect 100% would lead to bankruptcy for sure. LOL
@@BIMMERZEITT You know this bud! I recently sold my E30 convertible too, no longer used it so had to go, plus we moved abroad so it would have got ruined where I'm living now.
@@statyisgod left the US? Where are you now?
