The Appeal

The E38 7 Series design brief was a simple one: to be the epitome of luxury. And it managed this very well, especially top-spec examples like this 750i with its 5.4-litre V12.

These were the first European car to be offered with satellite navigation and curtain airbags, not to mention a raft of other cutting edge technologies including Dynamic Stability Control, Electronic Damper Control, Park Distance Control and double-glazed windows.

This 1997 BMW 750i is surely one of the smartest examples of this desirable model on the road today. It really stands out in its striking Biarritz Blue Metallic over Grey Nappa leather interior. As the photographs attest, it really does present very well indeed.

With only three registered keepers and a full service history, predominantly from main dealers, this is as good a E38 750i you're every likely to find. A recent service in February 2025 and fresh MOT in March, ensures this V12 cruiser is ready to enjoy.
