BMW 740iL (E32)

The BMW 740iL (E32) was incorporated in the model range of the second generation of the BMW 7 Series when the new V8 engine was presented. The "iL" had a longer wheelbase by 11 cm compared with the normal BMW 740i and therefore offered more legroom for passengers sitting in the rear seats. The visual appearance of vehicles powered by V8 engines differs from the six-cylinder models with a wider twin-kidney grille of the kind that was also installed in the models with a V12 engine.
