About the E38 7 Series

The E38 was the third-generation 7 Series, made from 1994 to 2001 in short (i), long (iL) and limousine (L7) lengths. It was the first car with curtain airbags, the first European car offering satellite navigation, and the first 7 Series with a diesel.

What these manuals cover

  • Six-cylinder petrol: the 728i and 728iL (M52).
  • V8: the 730i, 735i and 740i and their iL versions (M60, M62).
  • V12: the 750i, 750iL and L7 (M73).
  • Diesel: the 725tds (M51), the 730d (M57) and the V8 740d (M67).

Tip: these are BMW factory manuals, listed by model, engine and body rather than by year. The code in brackets is the engine (M54, N52 and so on), and the last word is the body: SAL saloon, TOUR Touring (estate), COUPE, CONVER convertible, COMP Compact (hatchback), ROADST roadster, OFFRD for the X models.
