Today I’m reviewing the 750iL, and I’m going to show you all the quirks and features of a special BMW luxury sedan — then I’m going to drive the 750iL and review the BMW 750iL driving experience.

The E32 750i was the first car adhering to “gentlemen’s agreement” amongst the German manufacturers limiting maximum speed to 250 km/h (155 mph).Additionally, some of world’s first automotive features for passenger vehicles were introduced in E32: projector lens headlamps (1986); double glazing windows (1991, beating Mercedes-Benz by a few months); HID (Xenon) headlamps (1991).//wikipedia
