1988 BMW 750iL | Church Lawton, Cheshire

A 1988 BMW 750iL, the long-wheelbase V12 flagship of the E32 7 Series. Its engine was the first V12 in a German car since 1939, and the model is liked for smooth, quiet, formal travel. The V12 cars carry a wider kidney grille and rectangular exhaust tips. This car is black with a grey interior, a sober pairing that reads as a late-1980s executive car. The long wheelbase gives the rear seats generous room, and the upright saloon body has broad, clean panels that catch reflections well. It suits 1980s and early 1990s film and TV work, where a formal, imposing saloon sets the scene, and music videos and advertising that want a dark, authoritative car. Fashion and editorial shoots can use its restrained black bodywork, and events can use the rear-seat space for arrivals. Weddings and personal hires are welcome too. The car is based in Stoke on Trent, Cheshire.
