The BMW E23 was the first generation of the BMW 7 Series luxury cars and was produced from 1977 until 1986. It was built in a 4-door sedan body style with 6-cylinder engines, to replace the BMW 'New Six' (E3) sedans. From 1983 until 1986, a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine was available. The E23 introduced many electronic features for the first time in a BMW, including an on-board computer, service interval indicator, a "check control panel" , a dictaphone and climate control systems It was also the first BMW to offer ABS braking a driver's airbag (optional, starting in April 1985) and a new design of front suspension. The E23 played a pivotal role in enhancing BMW's development and its position among rivals.
Equipped well for the era, it also has a leather M-Tech 1 steering wheel fitted. Today the 735i has the very rare 17" BBS RZ412 alloys, which cost in excess of £2, 000. In 2019, recommissioning included the installation of a new radiator, ABS pressure sensor, fuel lines and hoses. The air conditioning system was upgraded to utilise R134a. In recent years, the suspension has been refreshed with Bilstein B6 dampers - enhancing the car’s handling and cornering capabilities, a contemporary yet discreet Pandora alarm and immobiliser system has been installed - featuring a shock sensor along with remote and mobile phone locking/ unlocking capabilities. The history file contains extensive MOT history and a service book with 20 entries. The car has always been stored in a garage, which contributes to its exceptional condition. It is offered with a folder of invoices and receipts for over £7, 000 expenditure in the last 5 years.
