Looking nice and original Erich. Is the heckblende original equipment?
Heckblende on E32 was always aftermarket. E34 (Touring?) had original ones with p/n, but E32 never. This Heckblende is for the smaller licence plate used in USA and Japan, the EURO Heckblende look a bit different to fit the larger licence plates.
Probably I will remove the Heckblende again and then all is original. Except the low beams which I coverted to HID (HID conversion kit = ballasters and HID bulbs) more than 10 years ago from H1, as the original low beam on E32 is really not good.

Great shape. If I remember, that color is Salmon Silver Metallic. Yes?

Thanks! Delphine Grey, actually.
Nice color combo, looks very clean too!
What is the white/grey box near the rear view mirror?
Thank you! The box is just our “EZPass” for quick toll payment around here.
20 years ago in New York I had one of those battery operated toll payers that go beep when you go through and beep beep when your battery is low. Down here in Florida we used to have them but about five years ago they made it very easy. No batteries, no beeps just a 1 and 1/2 inch square piece of cardboard with some sort of chip in it. Just sticks on the glass. Bought it five years ago and never had to replace it. I mean you can pick it up in the checkout line at Publix. You register it online once and it just goes on your credit card as you go through tolls. Move to Florida. No BEEP BEEPS and no more car inspections...............

Here is my recent acquisition! E31, E32 and E38....all V12s!
When I first picked her up, PO was selling her as scrap due to Trans Failsafe

Awesome! ...and great collection! Glad you saved this one.
My newest addition to the collection: 740i in hellrot.

Great looking E32. Glad to see another one in Florida. What part of the state are you in? I'm just west of Boynton.

Wheels look great. Are you selling the M6?
Thanks guys ! Yes I am unfortunately , I’ve only driven her 500 miles in 2 years. She needs a new home

I really like how on your white car you can clearly see the folds in the sheet metal at the mid point of the wheel arches. It's quite a unique design how BMW made those surfaces. It's like the wheel arches have been folded onto the wheels to drape over them.
Compare the wheel arches of the silver E39 in the background. It is one sweeping surface with no breaks or creases.
It is one of my favorite design features on the E32 and I wish I had a lighter colored car to appreciate it!

Cory;
I understand. I recently moved to a community that does not allow street parking. With a total of 6 cars 5 of which need to be at my home one in off site storage I have to sell at least one of the cars. Like you I have only driven my 6'er about 1,000 miles in 3 yrs. Especially since the A/C has difficulty keeping up with the Summers 90+ temps. It will be difficult to let her go after 14 yrs. but unless I can find a cheap off site parking solution she will have to go. Right now two cars are parked in my neighbors driveway as they are snowbirds but they will return in early Oct.
Yes I hear you in that bob, I’m going to be moving into my new home soon so I need to think logically. we have 6 cars as well with a 2 car driveway. So I think it is time to let someone else enjoy my pride and joy, to be honest I wouldn’t be selling her if I didn’t buy Marissas vert... but the vert is just a lot more enjoyable to drive for me, especially on a nice spring day with the top down

Thank you sir ! Only thing different I wish my car had blue interior! I like the tan but white with blue is such a classic combo to me
