It was a true driver's car just like today's 7, but there was less in-car technology to distract from the task at hand. And most people agree that its sleek, classically styled body was easier on the eyes. Provided the car is in good condition, any 7 Series from this generation would make a fine purchase. Quality was generally excellent on these cars, like most high-end German products. The main advantage to choosing a car from later in the model cycle is added standard feature content like BMW's Dynamic Stability Control system. The model lineup included the regular-wheelbase 740i sedan, which was offered every year except 1996, and the long-wheelbase 740iL and 750iL, which had an uninterrupted run. The BMW 740s were powered by a 4.4-liter (4.0-liter in 1995) V8, while the 750iL had a 5.4-liter V12. All 7s came with a five-speed automatic transmission. Either setup provided strong acceleration, but fuel economy of the V12 was poor by today's standards.
