The Appeal

Designed by Paul Bracq and loaded with cutting-edge technology including an onboard computer, the E23 was BMW's first 7 Series - its flagship model at the time.

Known and loved for its powerful M106 turbocharged engine, this Euro-spec 745i is a great find for BMW enthusiasts. It's resplendent in a handsome Silver/Champagne colour and is very well preserved. Sold new in Spain and having only two registered keepers, this car has a well-documented history and has been meticulously maintained throughout its life. It also boasts very low mileage for its age and has been confirmed matching numbers by the vendor.

The recent comprehensive service ensures that it is in good health and ready for its next chapter.
