Doug's Take
The E38 7 Series is an absolutely gorgeous sedan, and it's especially impressive with the powerful (and relatively reliable) 5.4-liter V12 engine. This particular example is finished in beautiful Navarra Violet metallic, and it touts some great factory equipment, like a set of attractive 16-inch BMW Style 4 wheels, heated front and rear seats, and xenon headlights. It's also mostly unmodified – and it boasts some recent reported service and a clean, accident-free Carfax report. Plus, it's offered with the added excitement of no reserve.

THIS… is a 1997 BMW 750iL, finished in Navarra Violet Metallic with a Lavender Grey interior.
- This 750iL is a Canadian-market example that was originally purchased in Ontario, Canada, and later imported into the United States in 1998.
- The attached Carfax vehicle history report contains a gap from 1998 to 2001, though it shows no accidents or mileage discrepancies for the given time period.
- According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, factory equipment includes 16-inch alloy wheels, self-leveling rear suspension, xenon headlights, Dynamic Stability Control, insulated dual-pane window glass, leather upholstery, a HiFi sound system, and more as detailed below. Modifications mentioned by the seller are limited to an "E65" fan clutch and a set of factory E38 "face lift" chrome headlight housings.
- Sold from 1995 to 2001, the third-generation 7 Series (called E38 internally) retired as BMW's best-selling flagship sedan to date. Short- and long-wheelbase variants of the E38 were offered, but the V12-powered 750iL was only available in the latter configuration. BMW charged $91,100 for the 750iL in 1997, which represents about $167,370 in 2022.
- Power comes from a 5.4-liter V12, rated at 322 horsepower and 361 lb-ft of torque. It spins the rear wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission.
