BMW 7 Series Sedan (E38)

The third generation of the BMW 7 Series was not a complete innovation, at least as far as the design was concerned. The characteristic line was sensitively revised and in spite of the larger dimensions, the stylists succeeded in giving the E38 an even more elegant and dynamic appearance than that of the predecessor generation. The sedan was supplied in a standard and an extended version. From 1996, it was also available as the L7 stretch luxury limousine version with the wheelbase extended by 30 cm. The power unit was also supplied with previously unparalleled diversity. Alongside eight petrol-engine versions, BMW also for the first time offered six-cylinder and eight-cylinder diesel engines in the luxury class, along with a small series powered by hydrogen.
