1985 BMW 745i – Factory Turbo Euro Model

This 1985 BMW 745i is one of the rarest and most interesting vintage BMW sedans you will find for sale in the United States. Finished in beautiful Dolphin Grey Metallic, this 7-Series is a true factory-turbocharged European-market car. BMW never offered the turbocharged 745i in the U.S., making this example extremely unique, highly collectible, and a standout piece of BMW’s performance history.

Powered by its original turbocharged inline-six engine, the 745i offered performance in the mid-1980s that rivaled V8 and V12 flagships while retaining the unmistakable driving feel of a classic BMW executive sedan. This model was BMW’s top-of-the-line offering, built exclusively for European markets, and has become increasingly desirable among enthusiasts for its rarity, engineering, and understated performance.

This example sits on a set of highly sought-after BBS RC090 wheels, giving the car a period-correct but upgraded stance while maintaining the refined look of the E23 chassis. The Dolphin Grey Metallic paint contrasts beautifully with the polished faces and detailed lines of the wheels, elevating the overall presence of the car. This E23 is also presented with custom period correct Alpina decals although, this E23 is not an Alpina. 

Inside, the 745i features the well-appointed luxury cabin that made the E23 famous, offering comfort, refinement, and classic BMW design throughout. As a factory turbo car, it also carries the correct supporting hardware, unique model identifiers, and the unmistakable driving experience that separates it from the standard 735i models that were sold in the U.S.

If you are looking for a rare, GREY MARKET, European-spec classic BMW that combines luxury, performance, and collectability, this 745i is the ideal example. Cars like this very rarely come to market in the U.S., especially in this color combination and with tasteful period-correct wheels.  THIS IS A GREY MARKET VEHICLE WHICH HAS BEEN IMPORTED TO THE U.S. MARKET, IT HAS A VALID U.S. TITLE AND CAN BE REGISTERD IN THE U.S.
