BMW 7 Series: In-depth Price Analysis and Market Valuation for Premium Sedans

The BMW 7 Series is an executive sedan that has been in production since 1977. This series came to replace the BMW "New Six". To date, there are 7 generations of this car:

• The first generation (E23) - 1977 to 1986. A car that is the epitome of sportiness, technical innovation and luxury of the highest level. The successor to the BMW E3 is powered by six-cylinder engines that in every version impress with unrivaled driving culture and performance, making it the sportiest sedan in the luxury class. The body design is based on the design of Paul Bracque. The sloping front and rear and the low window line emphasize the sporty character of these luxury limousines.
• The second generation (E32) - 1986-1994. The car is equipped with ABS system as standard. The Park Distance Control system is offered as an option, as well as double-pane windows, which significantly reduce the noise level in the cabin and do not fog up. Since 1987, the luxury car is offered with a 5.0-liter V12 engine. The 220 kW (300 hp) unit is the first of its kind in the German automobile industry after 1945. The model is also available in an extremely comfortable extended version.
• The third generation (E38)- 1994-2001. Since 1997, side airbags for the driver and the passenger next to him have been standard, followed a year later by head protection airbags.

Thanks to the CommonRail system, the 3.0-liter 6-cylinder unit produces 135 kW (184 hp). From 1996, the engine lineup is expanded with a 2.5-liter 6-cylinder diesel engine with an output of 105 kW (143 hp).
