7 Series.
BMW's flagship saloon.

The 7 Series is BMW's top saloon, launched in 1977 as the brand's technology flagship. The E38, E65, F01, G11 and G70 generations each introduced features that later trickled down to cheaper models. The range covers inline-sixes, V8s and V12s in the topmost trims. Drive is to the rear axle or via xDrive, and the cabin prioritises rear-seat comfort. The 7 Series often appears at Japanese auctions in very high specification.
