Filed under unintended consequences: BMW's current 7 Series (e38) is so controversially styled that it's ballooned the value of its predecessor. Not that the old car is unworthy. The '95-'01 740/750 Series are spacious and luxurious, but also deep down driver's cars that mix good reflexes with expected levels of refinement and comfort. Great cars, in other words.

The previous-gen 7 arrived in '95 after a visual freshening that logically made it look like the 5's bigger brother. As before, the 7 could be had with the 4.0-liter/282-horse V-8 shared with the 5 Series or a newly enlarged 5.4-liter/328-horsepower V-12. There were two wheelbases, the 5.5-inch-longer version reserved for the 740iL (V-8) and 750iL (V-12), with the additional length making the rear-passenger area positively cavernous. The short-wheelbase model came only with the silky V-8. For one year, '96, just the long-wheelbase cars were imported.

BMW 7 series in a body with a designation e38 till now remain by very good machine interesting many motorists. As on a site enough plenty of the information about BMW E38 has been collected is solved to finish before end the started work and to collect about the machine the most full base.
In given article references to resources the Internet devoted E38 will be placed.

3 generation of sedans BMW of a class "lux" for the first time has been submitted in 1995.

BMW 7 series were issued in the following variants: 725tdi, 730d, 730i, 735i, 740i, 740iL, 750iL, 740iL Protection and 750iL Protection. Automobiles of a series "Protection" are equipped with bulletproof glasses, the details strengthening security of a body, and wheels on which it is possible to go even if they are completely lowered.



At once it is necessary to understand: the automobile not absolutely representation. If to speak about smoothness of a course and noiselessness, "seven" partly concedes to competitors. Even the automobile more promptly schoolmates looks: the low cowl topped with firm "nostrils" of a lattice of a radiator, the big glasses.

Actions on a safety of the automobile should be, as it is made at BMW, are incorporated into one optimum program of a safety, instead of to consist of isolated parts. Frequently the term "safety" with reference to automobiles limit its to characteristics at collision. However, only one of numerous aspects of strategy of safety and, undoubtedly, it is never better to deal it with it.

It is important to aspire to avoid transport incidents from the very beginning. Therefore the concern of BMW equally carefully is engaged both questions of active safety, and questions of passive safety and protection of the automobile. Connection of these three criteria, that is creation of the three-dimensional concept of safety would be ideal.

The ruler of automobiles of company BMW M7 has rather simple and clear gradation. To so habitual our ear of the name "3", "five", etc. the laconicalness quite correspond to German clearness. It be clear as well the "charged" series "M".

E38 BMW M7

Certainly, it is possible to reproach experts of the technical center "Science - Auto" with excessive self-confidence. But volume of the done work and, that is important, the approach to this project are more than serious arguments to that the automobile has been named М7. But so obliging name was not unique and the primary goal of the project. It was necessary to create the automobile of a representation class possessing sports habits and opportunities. For a basis has been taken BMW E38 740 1999 of release with engine M62TU. At once it has been solved, that it is impossible to be limited to only one operational development of the motor and external aerodynamic tuning. Not M7, and simply next automobile under tuning otherwise will turn out. Both the engine, and a box of transfers, and a reducer of the back bridge, both a brake, and a suspension bracket, i.e. practically full processing of all machine. Everything, that is obsolete both morally, and physically, could not provide modern requirements to the automobile. So, the engine. Initially V-shaped "eight" had volume 4,4 l. Its working volume has been increased by increase in cylinders, replacement of a cranked shaft and rods, change of a course of the piston up to 5 litres. It was possible to lift also a degree of compression up to 11.
