3rd generation of sedans BMW 7-series E38 The luxury class was first presented in 1995.
The BMW 7 series was produced in the following options: 725tdi, 730d, 730i, 735i, 740i, 740iL, 750IL, 740IL Protection and 750IL Protection. Cars series "Protection" are equipped bulletproof windows, details that enhance the protection of the body, and wheels on which it is possible to go, even if they are completely lowered.
Immediately should be understood: the car is not quite a representative. BMW is famous for sports, therefore, if we talk about the smoothness of the course and silent, "seven" is partly inferior to competitors. Even the car looks rapidly classmates: a low hood, topped with branded "nostrils" of radiator lattices, large glass.
Despite the big external dimensions, not so much inside the place. The driver sits at all, as if in the cockpit of the fighter - it is surrounded by appliances and control buttons to the auxiliary systems. The central console is traditionally slightly deployed to it face.
At the same time, in the car there are all the necessary elements of comfort, including an electropacuit, automatic adjustments of seats and climate control. (Note: Until 98th, most options were not part of the standard)
The popularity of "seven" from year to year was added electronic "brains", according to which she overtook the rest of the competitors. Among electronic filling - system dynamic stabilization movement (DSC), and an adaptive automatic transmission (AGS), which allows you to change the gear shift algorithm depending on the motion modes, and electronic system ELM motor control.
Electronics also largely determines the characteristics of the suspension and systems active security. For example, the comfort of passengers when driving the system for regulating the position of the NR body and automatic stabilization of the ASC bodies. ECS using electronics controls the rigidity of shock absorbers.
Version 750IL is additionally completed with the Park Distance Control system, a 5-speed automatic transmission, self-regulated suspension, a cell phone with a voice dialing, heated front and rear seats, an audio system consisting of 14 speakers, the power of which is 440 watts and aluminum discs. The temperature and temperature ventilation system allows you to set a different climate for the driver and passengers of the front and rear seats.
The BMW of the 7th series was also offered with an elongated 13 cm body of limousine (740IL, 750IL) and stretch with a lengthening by 38 cm (BMW 750IXL). All additional space provided by rear passengers, which can almost pull the legs. Here, undoubtedly, the luxury reigns. The chic "Bimmer" retained all the family advantages - excellent dynamics and handling. Thanks to the flagship V12, developing 326 forces, the limousine is accelerated to hundreds for six with a small second.
By smoothness engineers BMW. Found a compromise between handling and comfort. The car is enough to comply with the requirements representative class, and sufficiently accurate in reactions to enjoy the driver who knows the fastest ride. Yes, it is possible to drive on direct autobahn on any of the German flagships, but only BMW in addition perfectly behaves on winding roads. A relatively rigid suspension is difficult to "break through", even if you drive high speed In a serious Cold.
"Sevenki", besides, equipped with several airbags for both passengers of the front and passengers of the rear seats. Moreover, the new Head Protection System system representing an inflatable umbrella that unfolds diagonally from the rack. windshield Before the roof above the door, provides stitches of the heads sitting ahead of passengers. Security of those who are accommodated from behind provide airbag built into the doors. Also, the car is equipped with locks blocking doors from the opening of children, the Dynamic Stability Control system and built-in sensors that automatically open the doors and include emergency lights and lights in the cabin in case of a serious accident.

There are quite a lot of instructions for purchasing a used "seven" E38, describing the main problems, and where to look. Nevertheless, many after the acquisition of the first non-new BMW (and especially E38) do not even fully understand what they want from buying, and even more so do not suspect with what difficulties may face after acquisition.
This article describes the differences in models, all versions of engines, options in the interior and exterior, and also described about the features of Individual and Highline execution. Well, all the most frequent "sores" are described.
BMW The seventh series in the body E38 is wonderful cars, besides, and quite affordable. But the first drawback is most of the motors enter the most expensive category. transport tax (150r / hp).
Cars of this model are very different from the modest 728i to the frivolous and "acute" 740i Sport and the sophisticated 750IL. For all the release of the car, there were many changes in the design and in the interior design. Main engines: row "six", V8 and V12, produced in a variety of options.
E38 has three distinct generations, the earlier appeared in 1994, with V8 motors from the previous "seven" E32 (M60). At that time it was enough modern enginesThey appeared in 1992. The same engine control unit (DME 3.3) was used, and the automatic 5-speed gearbox on E32. V12 appeared a little later when the old M70 motor was upgraded by increasing the working volume, and renamed M73.
The first serious modernization occurred in 1996, when the V8 motors were strongly finalized and inline "six" appeared. The eight-cylinder engines have grown up in volume - up to 3.5 and 4.4 liters (models 735i and 740i acc.) And renamed M62, and the model 730i was replaced by 728i, with a completely new L6 engine, highly different from the previous M30.
The following modernization occurred in 1998, again improved all motors (except M73, which has undergone minimal changes). Motor 728th (M52) is now equipped with a double vanos systemAnd it was ceased to equip Niasilov. V8 engines also began to be equipped with Vanos timing phases adjustment system (she "cassed" camshaft responsible for the opening inlet valves), which made it possible to make a more smooth "shelf" of torque and increase it in a peak on 20 Newton meters. Power left the same (286 forces) in order not to create a competition of the 750th.
Modernization touched not only engines, the list of options also changed greatly from year to year. Full list BMW options are huge and car in complete configuration It can be twice as much as "empty" with the same engine. In addition to standard options, such as satellite navigation and TV tuner, the client could order something from the Individual list. So secondary market can be caught a copy with rare body individual body, but with standard finish Salon, and vice versa.
Engines and dynamic characteristics.
Inline six M52 on the model 728i.
The smallest unit was installed at 728i. The early version of the M52B28 had a nixyl coating, and was equipped with a gas distribution system offset system only for inlet valves. The engine was very different from the predecessor, M30. The block is aluminia, two camshafts in the block head, 24 valve, serial injection and six ignition coils. Power was 186 hp.
Engines 96-98 almost unhappy, but suffer from problems with Vanos, which causes an uneven idle. In September 1998, M52TUB28 was presented, he was going to noise without using, and the Vanos system became double. The improvements made it possible to reduce fuel consumption and make the motor more elastic, so the late models 728 are a little more pleasant for the driver.
Model 728i can not be called fast, but also slow too. The car starts quite sharp, but quickly "exhaled" (in comparison with the rest of E38), do not forget that in the 90s most cars were much weaker and slower. On the 728I highway, it is still pleasant to surprise the dynamics on large speeds. Since the motor is the smallest of E38, it is also the easiest, therefore the 728i rulits it very well (and this is with a weight of 2 tons!), And according to controllability, it can compete with modern "sempute" cars, not to mention cars of the 90s . The Sport version is distinguished by the changed gear ratios in the checkpoint and in the main pair, so it accelerates a little smoking.
In general, 728i is an excellent "motorway", which also pleases fuel consumption (7-8 liters on the highway).
Engines V8 (M60 and M62) were installed at 730i, 735i, 740i.
All V8 engines were advanced for their time: 4 camshafts in block heads, 32 valves, sequential injection, 8 coils in the ignition system. The first E38 V8 received motors from E32 (M60), in particular, 730i and 740i - 3.0 and 4.0l of the working volume, respectively.
These aggregates had a nickname coating, and with the advent of M62 motors. Cars with old engines fell noticeably. But now the problem with Nickyl is already irrelevant, and the reliability of M60 is not inferior to M62.
In 1996, M60 was replaced by M62, the volume increased to 3.5 and 4.4 liters. For 735i and 740i, respectively. These engines have already used a new coating of the walls of cylinders - alusyl, which should have increased their wear resistance. Motors obtained M62B35 and M62B44 indexes, developing power 235 and 286 hp It is worth noting that low revolutions Motors are viscilant, developing full power only closer to the red zone of the tachometer.
In September 1998, M62TUB35 and M62TUB44 were presented. They differed only by the finalized Vanos system, which also affected the exhaust camshafts. The result is a more even "pickup" from small revolutions, the former power and an additional 20 n / m torque at the motor 4.4l. Turns idle move The fuel consumption decreased slightly. Motors update coincided with the "Facelift" E38 and with price increase.
Model 730i (1994-1996) on the dynamics is practically no different from 728i, but more fuel consumes (0.5-1 liters on the highway). Version 735i is faster than both, but slightly. From the traffic light, the dynamics is not bad, but dorestayling versions (without double Vanos) are well rolled only after 4000 rpm and in the sport mode of the automatic transmission.
740i is already in another league, M60B40 motor on early versions (1994-1996) Although it is necessary to "promotion" for complete return, but still 4 liters of volume make their job, and the machine "bullets". With the engine M62TUB44 (cars after the "Facelift" of September 1998), already resemble a rocket in their dynamics. But they are very dangerous to turn off the stabilization system (DSC) on wet or slippery coatings, because rear axle May be rapidly leaving "not there." On the track, fuel consumption is almost no different from 735i, you can put in 8-9 liters. With the advent of the Double-Vanos system, they also began to install a "smart" thermostat, which allows you to keep the engine temperature above with a uniform trip along the track. Although the 740th can also go very smoothly and measured, if you need a car for unhurried walks - 728i is suitable.
Engine V12 (M73) on the 750i model.
In the photo - 750i 1998 with the M73B54 motor. M73 engines are incredibly reliable, and mainly due to the simplicity of the design. All six-eight-cylinder E38 motors are two camshafts on the block head and 4 valves per cylinder. Here is just two valves and one camshaft. The engine was produced in two versions - M73B54 and M73TUB54, both issued 326 hp. and 490 N.M. The difference between them is in the control unit, there are almost no differences in the mechanical part. Both versions inherited from the M70 ignition system with two coils and distributors, and this can be called weak Party Motor.
M73 is very powerful and tracked, therefore the character of models 740i and 750i is very different. "Late" 740i with a Vanos-Ohm - dynamic, nimble machines, on which it is nice to press "Sneaker to Paul" and listen to the engine, and 750i - no slower, and at the same time much calmer, "sophisticated", motor sound And the burden is reminded diesel. The main minus V12 is a monstrous fuel consumption, it is slightly smaller on the TUB - engine, but still extremely high. On the paper dynamics 750i and later 740i almost identical, but there is no drama in the acceleration of the 750th. But a kind of pleasure from traction atmospheric motor With a volume of 5.4 liters - do not replace anything! And you have a car with twelve cylinders under the hood very honorable.
Differences of models before and after the facelift.
Exterior.
Updated machines began to be produced since September 1998, but the date of the first registration may be much later. For example, there are many cars supposedly in 1999, which are actually dorestayling. Updated cars You can be distinguished first by pharmaceans and rear lamps.
Initially, the rear lights were plastic, and suffered from depressurization (sometimes water accumulated in them so that it was accumulated to drill holes). IN 1999 model year They were replaced with glass, turn signals were still orange. Since 2000, they have renewed them again, the turn signal glass has become transparent.
The front headlights have also changed much. The design itself has become glass (instead of plastic), and decreased in height, so the front wings also became different. Appeared new design - The lower part received the "roundness", while the old the lower edge was straight. The inner design of the headlight has practically not changed.
If replacement rear Lights Restyling is very simple (they are attached on four bolts), then with the front headlights will have to be tinted. The size of the turning is noticeably different, and if you just install new fair, then there will be a noticeable gap. To remove it or refine / replace the front wings (not the cheapest pleasure), or leave the old blocks of turn signals, "disguised" their paint at the edges for new ones. (Such events were engaged in Europe 🙂) In any case, the idea is doubtful, easier to find Restyled car.
Mechanical part and electronic systems.
In the process of updating E38 in 1998, electronic components upgraded. The ABS, DSC system (stabilization system) and ASC (anti-slip) changed greatly. Initially, they were all separate components. In the model 740i after 1998 they were placed in one the electronic unitThe ABS block. Cruise control system, idling valve and ASC system components were combined into one EML system (system electronic control Throttle), and in the 750i this happened in 1988 on the E32 model. Mechanical changes in the engine (enhancement of Vanos - A) are described above.
Equipment of the cabin.
Chairs. Three types of chairs and many additional options were installed on cars - ventilation, heating and even a massager.
- Very comfortable, but they lack a little lateral support. The settings range is very wide. As additional optioncan be equipped with heated.
- Different with additional adjustable lumbar support, also the back of the chair can bend at the top.
Sports (anatomical) seats - They have the same set of adjustments as comfortable, but also have custom-made support of the thighs - part of the seat cushion can be advanced. The seats were installed on all models of Sport.
Seat heating - installed as add. Option for all types. The heating system consists of two capacities with special fluidwhich constantly circulated. At the same time, the surface of the seat was slightly changed, which could embarrass the unprepared driver.
Seat ventilation - met quite rarely, helps in hot weather.
Central console, audio system, on-board computer.
Three main versions of the central console:
Multimedia The system could combine many features: navigation, TV tuner, telephone and on-board computer, without a monitor all these functions (except for the phone) were not available. And if you set the system from 4: 3 instead of basic more or less possible, then from 16: 9 the situation is much more complicated.
In the case of replacement of the monitor 4: 3 on a large, it will take less. But at the same time will have to change the video module (located in the trunk) to use all the features of the multimedia system.
Version navigation system.
The E38 set three versions of navigation: MKI, MKII and MK3. If you get a car with MK4 - then the owner has established this system itself, which is not a challenge. And MK4 works much faster (but it is worth noting that all systems for the day hopelessly outdated).
MK1. Installed in early models, the system "spoke" by a male voice, and for his time was advanced and challenging. Consisted from a head unit, a GPS block, a magnetic direction sensor and antenna. He worked very slowly, and often "losing the orientation."
MK2. It became a little faster, the magnetic sensor was replaced with a gylowensor embedded in the head unit. The GPS block and the antenna were still separate. The MK2 system appeared in 1998, and at first it was often buggy, "hanging" the entire multimedia system, so that no functions of the monitor worked.
MK3. Appeared in 2000 and again became faster. GPS module in it is built into the head unit, only antenna remained external. In this version, the system no longer "hung." Cards could be updated. When using a large monitor 16: 9, appeared new regime Screen splitting (Split-Screen), at which the map and direction indicators simultaneously displayed.
MK4. The system was equipped with a DVD disc, worked an order of magnitude faster than predecessors. On the disk, the entire map of Europe was already placed, and not individual countries as on previous versions. There was also a review function with a perspective (the type of "top-rear" of the car, and not just on top).
Differences Sport, Individual and Highline versions.
Sport version It is extremely rare, but despite this, each second announcement of the sale of E38 (in Europe) contains this word. The main differences are not to see the eye - these are other gear ratios in the checkpoint and the main pair (Option code S204A). The difference on paper - 0.1c in overclocking up to hundreds, but in sensations the car goes much faster than usual.
But the steering wheel and wheels with the icon m very often come across ordinary carsthat never turns them into Sport. Here is the list of options that were always installed on these specials:
M-style wheels with parallel knitting needles (37th design)
Body decoration Shadow Line
Sports steering wheel with the icon M.
S-EDC system in the suspension, or lowered suspension (without hardness adjustment)
Obviously, another main couple In the rear differential it is impossible to see, only the transcript of the VIN code will help and the list of options for a particular car.
Individual / Highline version.
At the seventh series in the body E32, the Highline version was a super-exclusive with stunning salon finish (using natural wood), with folding tables, additional lighting for the reverse, and even with the refrigerator between rear seats. The E38 did not have a separate version of Highline, but in the list of available options it was possible to choose almost all of the E32.
And what is the version of Individual? This is a car in which there are options that are missing in the standard list. You can distinguish this version first on a sign with a VIN code on the front "cup" under the hood. Individual inscription will be attended.
What options from the Individual list can be? It can be a non-standard body color, an interior trim material (Nappa leather), overlays on the thresholds with the inscription Individual, and much more. All this makes the car more rare, and, accordingly, increases its value.
List of standard add. equipment.
The most interesting is the system. S-EDC. . With a standard soft suspension, a car may seem too much "roll", and on the rigid suspension from the mountaineer on a bad coating, it is very unpleasant. S-EDC suspension automatically adjusts the rigidity of the shock absorbers in real time for a specific road situation. Or you can manually turn on the sport mode that the machine will be controlled not worse than the alpine. The system is very complicated, so finding a car with a good EDC is a real luck. The system includes a plurality of electronic components, acceleration sensors, steering position sensors, etc. The shock absorbers have three hydraulic valves, the entire system controls a separate electronic unit. In the presence of this system on the central console there will be a S-EDC button. The system was installed on all versions of Sport.
Another useful option - PDC (Park Distance Control) - Parktronic. For a hefty car thing indispensable. In the system four sensor in the front and rear bumpers. Sensors often fail, but it is not very expensive.
The hydraulic drive of the trunk cover is also a pleasant option, which is very difficult to adjust on the "empty" car.
But the tire pressure control system is not so desirable - but do not confuse it with the "Tyre Failure System" system, which signals the switching wheel, receiving information from ABS sensors. RDS is much more complicated, it was used on cars with runflat tires, included pressure sensors in the wheels themselves, temperature sensors, transmitters, antennas in wheel arches. etc. In the wheel sensors, the batter was used, which over the years came into disrepair, while it was necessary to change the entire sensor.
When malfunction, the system constantly issued an error "Check the tire pressure", at normal pressure. So it can be considered useless and harmful.
Also on the car were installed: a steering wheel with an electrically regulating and a memory function, side mirrors With automersion, voice control, Bluetooth, rain sensor, and much more. Even in modern standards, the car of twenty years ago is equipped very well.
At present bMW cars The E38 body is "almost jangtimemers", with beautiful design Body (especially in comparison with subsequent "seven"), a very pleasant price, relatively available spare parts, and they are fairly modern to move on them with comfort every day. So cars (or rather, a few "live" instances) will soon move into the category of collectible.

Gallery BMW L7 (760i) Karl Lagerfeld Edition
- Alexey, Irkutsk. Bought his seven BMW E38 in 2015, in very poor condition. But I was really for a penny, so I threw it into repair and got a doll. At first, the flow was 23 liters in the city, but after the motor went over and replaced the discs to 16, the consumption fell to 17 in the city and 12 on the track - this is with a 4 liter motor. I rolled back on it a year and going to sell - first, very expensive on gasoline, secondly - in service and repair very expensive, tired of spending constantly.
- George, Omsk. BMW E38 is a car of this quality that can no longer be found in the Germans. If the hands grow from where it is necessary - in service it is not as expensive, as it is believed. Despite the fact that my 735i was released back in 1998, it breaks on trifles and mostly all connected with the hodovka. Motor and box work perfectly. On consumption in the city there is 17 liters - a lot, agrees and the motor is powerful. And on the track in 9-10 you can meet.
External BMW E38 Overview
The appearance of the representative Bavarsa is notable for which the second brand machine, after 3-series E36, with glazed headlight lenses. The car is offered with just one type of body - sedan. The sedan can be with a standard wheelbase and elongated to 100mm, the car becomes longer than 140mm. Length version can be distinguished on wider rear door And the inscription on the stern "IL" ("L" means LONG). Long base modification could be with any engine, in addition to gasoline 2.8 and diesel 2.5t. The design "Sevenki" became a prototype for the "five" in the Body E39 - pay attention to the similarity of two models. In 1998, modernization was carried out, the updated "seven" is the easiest to know from rounded from the bottom.
Equipment of the cabin and configuration E38
BMW seventh series equipped with foot parking brake, not a handbrake, chairs have a mass of electrically regulators, even the head restraint is regulated by a servo. As an option was offered heating rim steering. The machine can be equipped with ten airbags. In the glove compartment, the passenger is a flashlight, which is attached to charger - It can be reached. Optional audio system with fourteen speakers has a power of 440Vatt. Often on seven recent years The release was installed massage. 
The luggage compartment has a volume of 500 liters, which is quite enough for family car (Today, thirty-eighth is often used in this role). AT luggage compartment There is a battery. The "Login" function of the trunk cover indicates the premiumness of this vehicle.
TECHNICAL PART AND CHARACTERISTICS BMW 7-SERIES E38
The least powerful gasoline engine BMW. 7-Series E38 was 2.8 (M52 motor series). The six-cylinder aggregate developed 193 horsepower, and even this motor did a sedan quite dynamic, to accelerate up to hundreds of BMW with mechanics left 8.6c, with automatic box Overclocking lasted for a second longer.
The following power among gasoline modifications was a model - 730i with a 3.0 V8 M60 engine, which in 96 replaced 3.5 on 235 forces M62 - BMW 735. Three data of the engine were not available in the States, only powerful sedans were supplied to the USA. Version 740i initially had a volume of 4.0 liters, but in 1996 the volume was increased to 4.4, the model was still named - 740i, while the power practically did not change - 285 forces before and 286 after modernization. The most powerful and most desirable is 750i with a twelve-cylinder unit at 5.4 liters, 326 horses and a moment in 490n. Motor refers to the M73 series. 750i dials the first hundred for 6.6c, the maximum speed "seven" is limited by electronics - 250km.
The least low-speed of all seven is 725TD with 143 forces, with mechanics, diesel Bavaret is gaining a hundred per 11.5s, and with an automatic for 12.2С - not by Bavarian slowly. Diesel 730D has a power in 193 hp, and 740d - 245 forces. Diesel versions Also not supplied in the States.
Everything power units They have an aluminum block, which is considered that it is not amenable to overhaul, but our craftsmen have learned him to giln. Before overhaul gasoline motors They go to 400 - 700 thousand, but it is worth remembering that overheating is the most evil enemy for BMW, at least once a year it is necessary to clean the cooling radiator. There are cases of engine breakdowns because of the hydroudar, the air intake is pretty low, so it is necessary to drop speed before large puddles.
