The first V12 BMW since the 1930s. The E32 brought twelve-cylinder refinement to challenge the Mercedes S-Class at the very top of the luxury market.
History
The E32 750iL was the first production BMW with a V12 engine since before the war. Its silky-smooth powerplant and advanced electronics — including traction control and electronic dampers — pushed BMW into true luxury territory.
