Vehicle Description
The BMW 7-series was the marque's first luxury car when it debuted
in 1977. This 1984 model was the final year for the 733i variant.
It is a very solid example that has been treated well with a very
clean under body.
This model was made in November 1983 at BMW's West Germany factory.
Dressed in gold, the car's paint and trim are in overall very good
order, along with solid and straight bodywork. The engine bay is
tidy while the cargo area is clean. The chrome bumpers fit tightly
to the body.
This Bimmer rolls on Arizonian Silver radials, size 205/70R14 at
every corner. The tires are older and mounted on factory alloy
wheels. Car has some needs: speedo/odo inop, temp gauge inop, right
rear window is also inop.
Under the forward-hinged hood is a 3.2L SOHC inline six-cylinder
engine (code M30B32) with Bosch fuel injection. Backing this motor
is a four-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features
include electronic climate control, power steering, power
four-wheel disc brakes, power windows, power locks, power sideview
mirrors, cruise control, seat heaters and a reclining rear bench
seat. There is also a sunroof.
Inside, a brown leather interior accurately reflects the mileage on
the odometer. The brown seats, carpet and headliner are all in
satisfactory order. The four-spoke, deep-dish steering wheel faces
the driver. The dashboard is in decent shape while the inner door
panels are in very good order. The center console and
console-mounted shifter look good and a JVC AM/FM stereo with CD
player is mounted in the dash. The dashboard and door panels are
swathed in maple wood trim for added warmth.
The E23 introduced many electronic features for the first time in a
BMW, including an on-board computer, service interval indicator, a
"check control panel" (warning lights to indicate system faults to
the driver), a dictaphone and complex climate control systems. It
was also the first BMW to offer an anti-lock braking system (ABS),
a driver's airbag (optional, starting in April 1985) and a new
design of front suspension.
In the US, 1984 saw the arrival of the optional four-speed
automatic transmission (replacing the three-speed unit previously
offered), wood trim replacing the plastic above the glove
compartment and on the ashtray and electrically adjustable power
seats.
North American versions were fitted with larger bumpers (to comply
with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) standards), smaller sealed beam headlights, and various
forms of emissions equipment that were not found on European-market
cars. The engines used in these markets had lower-compression
pistons and thus were less powerful than European-market
versions.
Competition to this BMW in 1984 included Aston Martin's Lagonda,
Jaguar's XJ6 and Mercedes-Benz's 380SL.
