BMW E38 7Series

I change the song because someone has claim the copyright about the song, Linkin Park - Easier To Run, this thing is soo stupid, instead of saying thanks because promoting the song, report a copyright own. Why the songs is made if we cannot use them ?


The BMW E38 automobile platform was the basis for the 1994 through 2001 BMW 7 Series automobiles. It replaced the BMW E32 in 1995 and itself was replaced by the BMW E65/E66 for the 2002 model year.

The E38 models were offered with either a five-speed automatic or manual transmission; the short-wheelbase 740i only came with a standard 6-speed manual, 740iL and 750i/iL had a 5-speed ZF automatic standard, 730d and 740d a GM-sourced five-speed automatic[1]. The engine variants in Europe were 725tds, 728i, 730i, 730d, 735i, 740i (4.0 and 4.4 L), 740d and 750i (with a 5.4 L 322 bhp (240 kW) engine, as was used in the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph).

In the Americas, the models were sold as the 740i, 740iL and 750iL. The 740i and 740iL share the same 4.4 L V8 engine. The 740iL is essentially a long-wheelbase 740i (hence the "L" in the model name). The considerably rarer 5.4 L V12-powered 750iL was only available as a long-body; there was no E38 750i in the US lineup. The 750iL was BMW's flagship sedan.

Features of the E38 7 Series included high-pressure headlight washers, auto-leveling xenon HID headlamps, power moonroof, a sound system with 14 speakers and four subwoofers as well as 6-disc CD changer, onboard satellite navigation and rain-sensing wipers. Other features included an automatic climate control system with separate controls for the driver and passenger, a three-position memory system for the driver's seat, safety-belt height, new steering wheel and outside mirrors. Front-seat side airbags and a Head Protection System (HPS) were also standard. The car featured an all-leather interior with burl walnut trim. The continuous-motion Active Comfort Seat technology was introduced in 1998 to improve comfort and reduce fatigue for the driver and front passenger.

The base prices in 2001 were US$62,900 for the 740i, US$66,900 for the 740iL and US$92,100 for the 750iL.

740iL and 750iL Protection Line light-armored vehicles were built from 2000-2001, and cost US$99,100 and US$124,400, respectively. These models included body armor, bullet-resistant glass and run-flat tires.

A rare executive V12-powered stretch limousine was also produced, called the BMW L7.

When the E38 was phased out in 2001 to make way for the new E65, sales of E38s increased noticeably in the car's final months of production as people moved to buy the car before it was replaced. The E65's radical styling and iDrive was not initially well-received by consumers, so used E38s increased in value as demand increased. Also contributing to the E38's continued popularity was its appearance in several films such as Tomorrow Never Dies and The Transporter. Even though it was the only featured car in the series to be replaced the following year, the E38 featured in the BMW Film Ambush.

Thank You BMW for creating this awesome BMW Model.

I own a 2001 740iL M Sport. This car is faster than a 90's Corvette I owned and you ride in luxury. The 740 is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I just love the way this car drives, handles AND looks! Best BMW ever made!!

[yonutfilip]

Simply put - best BMW car. I'm lucky to have one of these babes. It's extremely agile for it's size and weight (more then 5 meters long, and about 2.5 ton loaded), 326HP engine is soooo badass! Interior is pure awesomeness, wood-style panels and very comfortable seats. Exterior design - perfection, aggressive and noble at the same time. New BMW 7er is nowhere near (total crap, if you ask me).

should I get a BMW 750il from 2000 for my first car.

[petritnikqi]

@kracklejack there are no shit bmw's..

[Acct1941]

The BMW movie, "Ambush", showcases this car... what a machine. It is among the best looking BMWs ever, IMO. Had to go for the Jaguar XJ Sport instead though, 2001 is too old and 2002 7 series are rubbish now.

[uvegtigris2010]

@manlife4 its true...i am the same meaning about that :) (I have a bmw 740i 1995)

[zzgocartman]

[BusterBunker]

[manlife4]

[kingfiji2]
