In 1992, 3.0 L and 4.0 L V8 engines were added to the lineup (730i and 740i). All models were also available in a stretched 'L' version, which had 10 cm of extra legroom for the rear passengers. This was last 7 series generation to be available exclusively with gasoline engines (in Europe).

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 V12 322 bhp (240 kW; 326 PS) engine, as was used in the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph). In America, the models were sold as the 740i, 740iL and 750iL. The 740i and 740iL shared the same 4.0 L V8 engine in model year 1995, but the next year the V8 grew to 4.4L while stated power stayed at 282 hp (210 kW), though torque grew from 295 to 310 lb·ft (400 to 420 N·m). Then again coinciding with the 1999 facelift, the V8's power again stayed the same but now torque grew further to 324 lb·ft (439 N·m), due to new variable valve timing. The 740iL is essentially a long-wheelbase 740i (the "L" is from the German word for long, "lang"). 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. It was featured in the 1997 film Tomorrow Never Dies as the car driven by James Bond (Pierce Brosnan).[10] An E38 735i is the feature car in the 2002 film The Transporter, starring Jason Statham.

It dropped the manual transmission entirely. The E65/E66/E67/E68 7 Series featured BMW's first of a kind iDrive system, consisting of a video screen in the dashboard and a controller mounted on the center console that is used in a similar way to a computer mouse. Using a system of eight menus, most of the car's climate, audio, navigation, suspension and communication settings are controlled via iDrive. However, the system has been criticized by many automotive writers as being too complex and not intuitive enough. "Active" Seat continuous passive motion technology was made standard equipment on the 750/760 models and included in the Luxury Seating Package with heated and ventilated seats for driver and front passenger on the 745 models. The car was available in thirteen variants[11]—of those, 11 were on sale in Europe, with five available in the U.S. since diesel models were not available there.

[edit] 2006 2006–2008 BMW 750i (US) The 7 Series was facelifted for 2006 with a restyled front and rear and a larger range of engines, the N62B48. The twice-refreshed 7 Series sports a new taillight and reduced height for the trunk lid. The front headlight and the kidney grille was also raised somewhat, as well as a new front air dam and fog light assembly.

This limitation does not however apply to the GCC specification models. The 4.4 L V8 was replaced by a 4.8 L unit producing 367 hp (274 kW) and 361 lb·ft (489 N·m) . The new model with the enlarged engine is now known as 750i and 750Li (for the long wheel-base model). The 750i and 750Li replace the 745i and 745Li in all world markets. The 745d, powered by a 4.4 L turbodiesel producing 329 hp (245 kW) has replaced the 740d. As before, a six-speed automatic transmission with Steptronic is standard on all models. [edit] 2007 In 2007 the 7 series received minor updates both inside and out. On the exterior, new wheel designs were made available and power folding mirrors became standard. On the inside, an update to the iDrive system (but still no RTTI: Real Time Traffic Info) was also made standard. 2007 also saw the installation of an auxiliary input for connecting an audio source. Engine options remained the same as with the 2006 model, but the short wheelbase 760i, was no longer available for the North American market. [edit] Hydrogen 7 BMW plans to offer a car that runs on both petrol and hydrogen, to be called the Hydrogen 7. Since the infrastructure for refueling a hydrogen fueled engine is not widely available, the V12 engine also runs on petrol. Drivers will be able to switch what fuel they are using with the push of a button.[15] However, only 100 units have been built up to now for a limited edition. For example, the mayor of Munich, Christian Ude, received one of them. BMW has also developed a newer, more efficient hydrogen combustion engine, now on par with some of the most efficient diesel engines.[citation needed] [edit] High Security Mexican built high security 750-Li in service with the Mexican Federal District Police. BMW also built armoured versions of the 7 series vehicles.[16] The models have protection levels VR6/VR7. Security features include laminated windows, carbon fibre reinforced armour plating, under body armour, emergency front windscreen exit, lowered door windows, run flat tires. [edit] Self-parking system BMW has developed a parking-assist technology that can automatically park the car while the driver stands outside and watch as the internal robotics park it using a combination of sensors. A prototype of the system has been completed and was recorded using a BMW 730i.

The F01/F02 heralded the introduction of the ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. Five variants are showcased at debut, the 750Li, the 740Li, the 750i, the 740i and the 730d. Numerous engines also power the 7 Series worldwide. BMW offers diesel, straight 6, V8 and V12 motors. An all-aluminum 3.0-liter straight-six cylinder diesel engine produces 245 hp (183 kW; 248 PS). The peak torque figure of 540 N·m (400 lb·ft) comes in at 1,750 rpm up through 3,000 rpm. Its 194g/km emission figure is class-leading for conventionally powered luxury cars, as is its 38.7 mpg[clarification needed] fuel consumption figure.[17] BMW switched from a MacPherson strut front suspension to a double wishbone design for improved handling. The F01 is also available in a bulletproof version.[18] Model Engine Code Engine Type Displacement Power Torque 0–100 km/h (s) Years made 760Li N74B60 V12 48V 5,972 cc (364.4 cu in) 544 PS (400 kW; 537 hp) @ 5250 rpm 750 N·m (550 lb·ft) @ 1500-5000 rpm 4.6 (aut) 2009- 750i/750Li N63 V8 32V 4,395 cc (268.2 cu in) 408 PS (300 kW; 402 hp) @ 5500-6400 rpm 600 N·m (440 lb·ft) @ 1750-4500 rpm 5.5 (aut) 2009– 740i/740Li N54 I6 24V 2,979 cc (181.8 cu in) 326 PS (240 kW; 322 hp) @ 5800 rpm 450 N·m (330 lb·ft) @ 1500-4500 rpm 5.7 (aut) 2009– 730d/730Ld N57 I6 24V 2,993 cc (182.6 cu in) 245 PS (180 kW; 242 hp) @ 4000 rpm 540 N·m (400 lb·ft) @ 1750-3000 rpm 7.2 (aut) 2009– 740d[19] N57 I6 24V 2,993 cc (182.6 cu in) 306 PS (225 kW; 302 hp) 600 N·m (440 lb·ft) @ 1500-2500 rpm 6.3 (aut) 2009– [20] In April 2009, BMW announced plans for a 760Li, which will be BMW's new flagship model. The 760Li will be equipped with a twin-turbocharged V12 producing 544 horsepower, which will propel the car from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds.[21][22] In 2010, all-wheel-drive (BMW xDrive) became available on the 7-series. [edit] Improved iDrive The new F01/F02 is equipped with a more intuitive iDrive system with a full featured web browser. [edit] ActiveHybrid 7 2011 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 (U.S). The BMW Concept 7 Series ActiveHybrid was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October 2008.[23] In August 2009 BMW announced the production versions of the ActiveHybrid 7, together with BMW ActiveHybrid X6. The 2011 ActiveHybrid 7 is a mild hybrid and features a 0.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.[24] The electric motor is combined with BMW’s 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 and new 8-speed automatic transmission to accelerate from 0 – 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds.[25] Estimated EPA fuel economy is 17 miles per US gallon (14 L/100 km; 20 mpg-imp) city and 26 miles per US gallon (9 L/100 km; 31 mpg-imp) for highway, which represents almost an 18% improvement over the non-hybrid 750i/Li.[25] U.S. sales began in June 2010 with a base MSRP price of $103,125 for the ActiveHybrid 7 and $107,025 for the long wheelbase ActiveHybrid 7L. The ActiveHybrid 7 qualifies for a $900 U.S. Federal Tax Credit.[25] [edit] References ^ monocom gmbh Dingolfing. "BMW Werk Dingolfing". Bmw-werk-dingolfing.de. http://www.bmw-werk-dingolfing.de.

These V12-engined saloons, available on the UK market in the second batch of 7-Series introductions, show just what BMW can do when it raises the budget for engineering, technology, interior equipment, telematics and overall refinement. All this has its effect on the prices, of course. The 760i is in the catalogue at £76,350, which is £31,795 more than the entry-level 7-Series model, the 730d we describe elsewhere. In other words, you could buy that car plus a new 330Ci convertible and still have enough money for several refuels. The curious thing is that the premium for the long-wheelbase 760Li is a very moderate-seeming £2100. This is an absolutely top-class car when you take the more generous rear cabin space into account, and the extra 2.75% or so on top of the 760i price means that many buyers will surely go for the longer version. It doesn't feel unwieldy in town traffic, although it's undoubtedly a big machine, and the extra length does the side-on appearance no harm. Like many people, I feel that the BMW design team didn't do a great job on the front end (those eyebrowed headlamps, for example) and that the rear end has its dumpy elements, but when seen from the side the 760Li is very well proportioned. Both 760 models can be told from lesser cars in the range by their wider front grille, 18" Star Spoke alloy wheels, modest V12 badging and chrome bumper inserts, as well as the high-gloss black finish to the B-pillars and around the door mirrors. The 760Li adds chrome roof rails (ornamental, and not meant for a roof rack, you understand) running from the foot of the A-pillar all the way to the bootlid. Leather And Walnut In Abundance Inside, BMW uses a great deal of leather and burr walnut, even wood trim on the grab handles and the crosspiece behind the rear seats from which the safety belts extend, and there's something rather classy about the use of Alcantara leather for the roof lining and the sun visors. In the 760Li, the luxury features include two footrests in the rear cabin, which can be placed wherever seems most comfortable on the high-quality carpeting. Both models have Dynamic Drive to reduce body lean on corners by automatically adjusting the anti-roll bar settings, plus electronic control of the damper settings to match the road surface at any given moment. As with all the 7-Series cars, there's also traction control, stability control, brake assist and variable-rate Servotronic steering. BMW's iDrive communications system is standard, and you have to admire the company for simply persevering with an arrangement about which many media testers have been - well, a little testy; not so much about the things it does, but about what you have to do with that central control wheel to get it to do them. As we've reported previously, BMW has been adding, either as standard items or on the options list, more elements of voice control, a BMW Assist service, and its own BMW Online Internet portal giving access to the likes of news, weather, business and leisure information. By No Means Heavyweight One very important point about the 760Li in particular is that the car is nothing like as heavy as it looks. The aluminium chassis, aluminium suspension components, aluminium block and so on, all make it possible for there to be a formidable power to weight ratio, especially with the majestic V12 engine, which is also supplied in modified form to BMW's Rolls-Royce subsidiary. The 5972cc power unit produces 438bhp at 6000rpm, and 443lb/ft of torque at 3950rpm. With the standard six-speed automatic transmission, that allows for a 0-62mph time of 5.5 seconds in the 760i and a tenth more in the long-wheelbase version. Maximum speed is governed to 155mph, and the gearing means that the 760i can cruise at 100mph showing just 2500rpm. As well as direct injection, the V12 is fitted with BMW's Valvetronic valve control system, as introduced in the 318i engine built at Hams Hall in the Midlands. Then it appeared in all BMW's four-cylinder petrol engines, later again in the 7-Series V8 units, and now it's in the V12 as well. What with one thing and another, the lightweight six-litre V12 is a highly superior engine. As well as providing excellent performance, it offers unusually good economy and emission figures for something of this size. Extra urban consumption is 30.7mpg for the 760i, 29.1mpg for the long-wheelbase version, while the corresponding combined figures are 21.0 and 20.8. CO2 ratings are 325 and 330g/km. Out on the open road, both models accelerate very strongly indeed - here today and gone yesterday, as someone I knew used to say, with a subdued but classic V12 engine note. And subdued is also the word for the levels of wind and road noise. It's really remarkable how these cars seem to waft along, picking up hardly any sound at all from the road surface despite their wide tyre treads. They're also light and undramatic to handle, with very comfortable interiors, and the ride quality is first class. These are all signs of the fact that perhaps BMW's highest priority wasn't a particular technical feature, but the overall refinement the 760i and 760Li so effortlessly demonstrate.
