1988 BMW 730i | London

A 1988 BMW 730i, the large four-door executive saloon BMW offered to buyers who wanted comfort and space without ostentation. The 7 Series of this period is known for its long bonnet, roomy cabin and upright, unfussy lines, all of which sit well in a late-1980s setting. This car is finished in Maroon with a grey interior, a muted pairing that looks smart and period-right on camera. It is in very good condition, seats four and has a 3.0-litre petrol engine. The deep paint and clean saloon outline give photographers and stylists a calm, formal backdrop. It suits film and TV work set in the 1980s or early 1990s, where a business-class saloon sets the scene at once. Advertising, music video and editorial shoots can use its rich colour and upright shape, and events can use it for formal arrivals. Weddings and personal hires gain a dignified, stately car. It is based in London.
