BMW's first-generation 7 Series, the E23, marked the arrival of the marque's flagship luxury saloon in 1977, combining understated executive styling with the engaging driving characteristics for which BMW had become renowned. The 735i, powered by the marque's celebrated 3.4-litre M30 straight-six engine, was among the most desirable variants, offering effortless performance, refinement and a distinctly sporting character. SB is delighted to offer this 1984 BMW 735i, finished in an attractive Bronze metallic over a brown leather interior. Having covered approximately 95,500 miles, this example has had just four previous keepers, with the current owner enjoying the car for the past decade. During his ownership, the car has been fitted with an adjustable air suspension system, giving it a distinctive lowered stance while allowing the ride height to be altered to suit different driving conditions.
Complementing the suspension are polished, deep-dish BMW cross-spoke alloy wheels, which lend the car a particularly purposeful appearance without detracting from its classic lines. Inside, the cabin retains much of its original 1980s character, including wood veneer trim, leather upholstery and BMW's distinctive driver-oriented dashboard. With its combination of period luxury, straight-six performance and carefully chosen modifications, this E23 represents an interesting opportunity for an enthusiast seeking something a little different from the usual modern classic BMW. As always, the seller is available to answer all questions via the Comments section below. Buyers should bid with confidence.

The E23 7 Series is an increasingly uncommon sight on British roads, particularly in 735i form. Combining BMW's characterful straight-six engine with elegant, understated styling and the comfort of a traditional executive saloon, it offers a distinctly different ownership experience from its modern counterparts.
This 1984 example stands out thanks to its appealing Bronze-over-brown colour combination, long-term current ownership and distinctive adjustable air suspension conversion. With approximately 95,500 miles recorded and its original service booklet accompanying the car, it presents an interesting opportunity for a BMW enthusiast seeking a usable, characterful and individual modern classic.
