BMW 7-Series
BMW E23 was first presented in Munich in May 1977. The car continued the tradition of the body E3 (super saloon 3.0L-3.3L). The design was taken from the same shortly before emerging sport-coupe E24. The presentation of car dubbed as "future-machine today." BMW E23 developed the details of construction within five years. A month later, the first cars E23 left the conveyor. They have become models 728, 730 and 733i.

By the time fired E23, the level of any new items such class was determined to "sense limousine", or Mercedes-Benz S-class (then a series of W116). The solid appearance "Bavarian limousines with a typical built-in radiator grille with a negative slope (for the model was called shark), and extensive luggage 640-litre (due to back looked overly cumbersome), seemed to have the 7th series is the possibility to withstand public scrutiny, but the suspension came too soft (the car is not well kept road), and serial equipment cabin actually was not quite luxurious.

Nevertheless, while E23 is responsible for providing a top-class car pastors : spacious layout with a different head or anatomical seats (least-leather), which in modern terms is still lacking in lateral support, quality upholstery doors and ceilings, good lighting showroom, traditionally comfortable driving up the place and the high level of sound insulation.

Engines for the big (4860h1800h1430 mm) and heavy (2050 kg) were rather weak for a sedan. Line with Solex carburetor "Six M30-V28 on the model 728 and M30-V30 730-y to develop power 170 and 184 hp respectively, and with the injection M30-V32 L-Jetronic model 732i and 733i-197 hp

M30-V28 a year equipped the same injection system that capacity it added. These engines apparently were not enough to compete with powerful model Mercedes-Benz. The problem of trying to decide, firing in July 1979, the flagship model series 7th-745i Turbo with 3,2-litre 252-strong M30-V32/tb with turbocharged engine. The maximum speed increased to 227 km / h and time to disperse hundreds of 7,9 sec. Two months later, went into production model 735i, which have power plant M30-V35 3,5-litre power of 217 hp. and 3,4-litre M30-V34 modification of the same capacity. The latter, in May 1983, had been a model 745i, and its 252-srong turbocharged M30-V34/tb to model 745i Turbo.

In 1982, saloon was modified. Design torpedo and instrument panels is taken from a newly created body E28 fifth series. Also among the innovations note was Check-control, LED TO time (service indicator), and fuel metering.

Upgraded suspension, and also to a lesser extent, the body (Wang became less convex and not speak from a radiator), altered rear lamps, and the lower spoiler lengthened by plastic skirts. At the same time, added to the already high levels of active safety, furnishing all-wheel disc brakes with ABS and another amplifier, in combination with variable hydraulic steering effort (with a reduction of the high-speed) pulled the security model for the best of that time positions.

These engines, as well as MZO-V28 have in the future and even the most tenacious in service. But feature BMW 745i, a combination of turbo charging and "thoughtful" automatic transmission has rather than pleasant. SCR is doing all that and much more car was fast and powerful, and automatic, on the other hand, tries to make it sluggish and voracious.

The resource machine with long service on our roads is rapidly decreasing, that over time becomes a major problem for the family budget. It is therefore necessary to accurately determine how long a car operating in Russia. This is all the more reason, therefore, that more than half the owners "sharks" picked her to "turn" a BMW-not to bad roads, ignorance and poor service maintenance, whether tailored parts of the domestic car or questionable 93rd gasoline. For this series BMW 7th Army frigates enough problem keeping running gear.

Shaky because of the refusal of one or more cylinders the engine, transmission problems, especially auto, and breached the pole / collapse adversely affect the preservation of monocoque construction. Unlike American bodies and smuggle car with the profile developed by rigid torsion steel frame, the 7th BMW series (E23) applied load platform, fatigue destruction which average mileage an average of 30 thousand km at the most machines have to know about fully. But speculators are, and that sometimes the owners do not exploit the Western and car so much more intensively, and after simple procedures for a job well sure car market requested copies of significantly higher value. For example, the actual wear and car pastors of 1986 may be 90%, and even if there are many "bloat" from the Audio and ending with modern alarm, it is thought, but this flea-pit previous owners may have to invest money and nerves and whether to hold them all.

The new generation of BMW 7th series (E32) submitted in September 1986. The model demonstrated significant progress in improving the company's BMW technology and cultural production and thus became a challenge with its flagship Mercedes-Benz S-class (then W126), producing a veritable explosion at the luxury market and smuggle V-so different from the hapless predecessor (E23) and other competitors, asking for a new standard in its class manageability and almost sports dynamics.

Later, and for Eastern European countries became parables in town. Its image was equally tightly linked to the "new Russians", "heroes" of primary capital accumulation. Nevertheless, here for the G-established image of a dynamic and even somewhat more sports and car pastors.

First-model 735i with a row UD6 3,4-litre soil engine power of 220 hp (211 hp with a catalytic converter). Quality assembly body excellent, and much of this, as well as high-tech soil engine cabin noise is very low. Passengers seated in a comfortable rear seat (not from leather, velour upholstery and Gobelin) may even collapse posture leg to leg. The devices provide for their time of great progress on the security and ergonomics. The predecessor many different switches and indicators were "a bunch" of novelty, they dispersed and more evenly distributed throughout the area of the dashboard, depending on the value.

In March 1987, the debut model 730i with 3,0-litre 188-strong engine, which, as "M735" has been packaged by 5-step mechanical gearbox or automatic transmission with hydro transformer. The performance of both types of CVD vary, but if there is a choice, the experts advise select the machine mechanics, as operating costs of the machine incomparably higher. Furthermore, the model of the early issues from the crowded automatic transmission oil can enter the hot exhaust pipe, and then the entire car.

Worth knowing that the models are equipped with a computer, not just higher fuel consumption, but slightly worse dynamic performance. For example, to disperse hundreds of models to the BMW series with the seventh automatic 1,0-1,6 to spend more than a month with mechanical MP. Go to the oncoming lane while overtaking it may do a disservice.

In September, arm before long by 115 mm version 750iL, which is the first of its class to build machines only automatic transmission. Because of the high torque (450 Nm at 4,100 rpm) new 300-strong 5,0-litre VI 2 engine acceleration to 100 km / h ranged from 7.4, but the mass of vehicles was less than 2.3 tons.

Excellent dynamic quality, stable selection in the direction of movement of inertia, excellent informative and reliable braking system with amplifier, mild alarm, amazing work suspension, however, the level of active and passive safety only with the passage of time has reached the proper level (only since September 1989 on luxury models 750i began to establish a cost Control System), but the fire was never in danger rear area.

However, the development of small models is not stopped. Thus, in March 1992-go year 730i and 740i models are equipped with V8 engines (previously one of the shortcomings row M6 was unnecessary, so-called, second-order vibration). In general, all these engines uneconomic enough, especially in urban driving conditions (from 14.9 to 17.9 l/100 km). The maximum speed of 222 to 250 km / h depending on the engine.

Because the models of 7th series (E32 series is) very cheap in the market for used cars, as well as in the West, many buyers do not want to be burdened with high taxes and maintenance costs. Therefore, it is possible to obtain much more magnificent car for relatively little money. However, please note that a much more the car requires only high-quality oil and trained (very cheap) care.

The body became more streamlined headlamp united in a common bloc with glass instead of the previous separate round. Looks are now much more faster and car classmates: low hood Nelson brand "Truth" radiator grilles, big glasses. In general the company has not fundamentally changed Styling one of the best of its models, but the richness of the updated car pastors and various electronic systems, such as dynamic control DSC, which combines Traction control and navigation system (ASC + T) help manage this very heavy (gross weight to 2500 kg) and large (4985/5125h1860h1435 mm) sedan has been received enthusiastic buyers.

Among assembles electronic-adaptive automatic transmission (AGS) to modify the algorithm shift depending on the motion, and the electronic engine control ELM. ECS using electronic controls rigidity buffers. BMW 7th series has maintained a unique combination of comfort, speed and excellent sports such a big car pastors and manageability, thus circumventing finally S-class Mercedes-Benz sales.

The security systems, including additional side airbags, automatic height adjustable safety belts, etc., the price of a car pastors risen to 10% and finally moved the company into a flagship vehicle for investment. Grand saloon (the abundance of high-quality leather and wood finishing valuable species), in which passengers in the rear seats can even pull and stretch your legs (especially long at 140 mm versions IL).

Sedan distinguishes room (500 litres), and very comfortable with the low edge of the boot. The options included such fun as heated steering wheel rim, GPS satellite navigation system, a TV monitor and a high-quality brand BMW top Hi-Fi audio system with ten speakers and 6 CD to drive in the boot. Unfortunate disadvantage of a limited review of the rear (because of the high head back row), did not seem inconsequential when maneuvering in crowded urban settings. The only because long wheel base must carefully handle through road humps and kerbs (by the way, cracks and scratches to be found at the threshold, you can find out exactly how the machine operated).

BMW 7 series released in the following options: 725tdi, 730d, 730i, 735i, 740i, 740iL, 750iL, 740iL and 750iL Protection Protection. In September 1994, buyers had been proposed model 750i with 5,4-litrovym engine power is brought to 326 hp and the most economical in the world scheme V12 power unit (16.8 l/100 km in the urban cycle). Since that, time offered extended to 13 cm version 740iL and 750iL with body limousine. BMW 750iL more broadly of Park Distance Control, 5-step automatic, self-suspension, cellular phone with voice dialing, heated front and rear seats, audio, consisting of 14 speakers, with an output of 440 W and aluminum disks.

The ventilation and temperature control allows you to set different environment for the driver and passenger front and rear seats. 740iL sedans offered with 6-stupenchatoy mechanical gearbox or automatic transmission. Models 740iL and 750iL can be ordered in performance Protection. Their body and glass withstand bullets short of small arms. The machine is equipped with standard sound buses, which run in a position you can get up to 250 km at a speed of 80 km / h.

BMW 7th series also offered to extend by 38 cm (BMW 750iXL). The additional space provided rear passengers, which could almost pull legs. Here, surely, is a luxury. Your "Bimmer" kept the entire family benefits - excellent dynamics and control. The flagship V12, develops 326 forces limousine accelerated to hundreds six seconds with a minor.

V 32- valves G8 capacity of 3.0 litres (218 hp) and 4.0 litres (286 hp) for the 730i and 740i models, supplemented in September 1995 aluminum row 2,8-litre "Six" power of 193 hp, in March 1996-go replaced by more economical V8 :3,5-litre 235-strong, in the urban cycle saves to 1.5 litres/100 kilometres, and thus fuel consumption does not exceed 14.2 l/100 km, and the excellent new 4,4-litre 286-strong not as economical as it was with excellent dynamic properties, which are considered a major indicator of the Bavarian brand. At the same time, save for those (mainly offices, sitting out a car befell the drivers) have mastered model 725tds with 2,5-litre143-strong turbo diesel direct injection. Even later diversified into 4-litre turbo diesel capacity of 240 horsepower, which now applies to 740d models.
