BMW 7 Series E23

BMW 7 Series E23 (1977-1986): full specifications, engines, common problems and original brochures.

Produced 1977–1986 Chassis E23 Body Sedan

The E23 is a BMW 7 Series generation built from 1977 to 1986 and sold as a sedan. This archive covers it with one original US brochure, the text searchable.

There are no specification pages behind it, and that is a gap in the source rather than in the car. Everything numerical on this site comes from EPA fuel-economy filings, EPA certification test records and Transport Canada vehicle specifications; none of the three reaches back far enough to cover the E23. Where a figure would have to be guessed, we leave it out.

What the brochure does carry is what BMW printed for American buyers at the time: the equipment lists, the specification tables and the wording of the warranty of that era. For this generation it is the whole of the record we hold, and it is a primary document rather than a retelling.
