The 1988 BMW 750iL was the first production year in the US of a V12 BMW.  This was the ultimate performance luxury car, with the zip and handling of a sports car and luxury of full leather trim and a 14-speaker hifi sound system.  The sales brochure drips with superlatives (link to scanned brochure).

The original E32 series ran from 1988 to 1994.  It was superceded in 1995 by the E38 series, with modernized styling, upgraded engine, and even finer appointments.  The sales brochure was equally sumptuous (link to scanned brochure).
