Fast Facts:
  • The E38 generation 7 series introduced an assortment of new BMW technology throughout its production run. An example was the continuous-motion Active Comfort Seat technology (similar to a very gentle massage -improves comfort on long drives and reduces fatigue). The E38 also employed high-pressure headlight washers, auto-leveling xenon HID headlamps, self leveling rear suspension (adjusts to any added weight in the rear), and a Motorola “StarTac” in-car phone with built in Mayday system (just to name a few)
  • The E38 also featured BMW’s electric catalytic converter (“E-CAT”). These converters feature coils that heat up the catalyst immediately after a cold engine start, bringing it to proper operating temperature faster than traditional catalytic converters. This system, which requires a second car battery, ensures cleaner cold starts and LEV compliance
  • The E38 7 series was one of the first models to receive BMW’s new advanced powder clear coat
  • The replacement E65 7 series marked the start of the controversial “Bangle Butt” era. The new 2003 design (by BMW designer Chris Bangle) was received so poorly by consumers that sales of the E38 began to rise before production ended. Consequently, sales of the new 7 series were poor (people also weren’t a fan of the new “iDrive” system in the E65)
Key Model Year Changes:
  • DSC (stability control) is now available
  • HPS head airbags are now standard (rear-seat side airbags optional)
  • New AC control panel
  • The following year (1999) sees a small cosmetic facelift (headlights, tail lights) as well as the ZSP Sport package with the M-Parallel (Style 37) wheels and M sport suspension
  • The navigation for 2000 MY is upgraded to MK III, switching to a CD format. Radar based cruise control becomes an option
  • 2001 MY cars built after Sep ’00 received a full-width navigation screen
  • Also for 2001: the side skirts and front/rear air dams are now painted body color, front and rear turn signals are now clear (previously were amber), StarTac phone (w/ mayday system) and 16 way comfort seats are now standard, and the Adaptive Ride Package (electronically controlled shock absorbers) and rear self-leveling became an option on the 740iL (standard on the 750il)
