After almost 7 years in development since September 1979, in July 1986, BMW introduced the second generation of the 7 series, known internally as the E32. Aimed at the high end of the luxury market, the car offered some of the latest innovations in automotive technology, and (beginning in 1987) a new, top-of-the-line V12 engine. First BMW featuring EDC III Electronic Damper Control. Some luxury options featured on the E32 included integrated telephone and fax machines, a wine cooler, double glazing, Automatic Stability Control + Traction (ASC+T) traction control system, and a system that automatically increased spring pressure on the windscreen wipers to keep them firmly pressed on the glass at Motorway speeds. The E32 (750i) was the first car adhering to BMW's self-imposed speed limit of 250 km/h (155.37 mph) because it could reach 300 km/h (186 mph) very easily (according to the product brochure for the American market in 1986). In 1991, world first series production low beam Xenon high-intensity discharge headlamps (Litronic, only low beam) were introduced on the 750iL. The car was also available in a stretched version (indicated by an 'L' from German ''Lang'', after the model number), in which case an extra of leg room was available to the rear passengers by stretching the rear doors, and the body at this point. The styling is credited to then-chief stylist Ercole Spada and Hans Kerschbaum working under the guidance of then-chief designer Claus Luthe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BMW Car Designers )〕〔Ercole Spada〕 Design work began in late 1979, in which by 1983 1:1 scale models were presented and frozen in 1984 for 1986 production.〔http://www.carscoops.com/2013/09/bmw-remembers-second-generation-7.html〕 Production of the BMW E32 series concluded in 1994 with a total of 311,068 units built. ==Notable versions== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BMW 7 Series (E32)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
