Cockpit

Instrument cluster

Speedometer and rev counter side by side between a fuel gauge and a coolant temperature gauge, with a strip of indicator panels below.

Controls

On the 750iL Highline, rear passengers get a second climate control and independent heating and ventilation.

Facts

Only the 750iL gave rear passengers their own radio controls. The options list reached as far as a built-in phone and fax, power-adjustable rear seats and a wine cooler.[1]
The top Highline trim was offered from 1989.[2]
Airbags were available on request rather than as standard.[2]
