How many BMW 7 E38 weighs. Should I buy a BMW E38? Weaknesses, Reviews of Owners BMW E38

20.04.2021

Participation did not take. It seemed to me that for the one who wants to get a real "membership", all these thoughts about the price of exploitation, breakdowns and motors are absolutely not needed. But it turns out that the demand for information on these machines is still available. There are those who are ready to buy such a car for themselves and begins to ask the right questions.

And the first car of this class, which we consider in the heading "Used cars" will be the legendary "seven" from BMW in the Body E38, which is immortalized not in jokes, like Mercedes W140, but in films and newsreels. Oddly enough, it was BMW, always standing by a mansion in its class and often in the shadow of an eternal competitor from Stuttgart, turned out to be the most demanded on the secondary market, when there were no hired drivers behind the wheel, but the fans of these cars.

You can argue about approaches to manageability and comfort of the driver and passengers, but it is commercially successful W140 that lost the race for sympathy in one gate. By the way, his heir, W220, took into account this mistake and tried to change. But about what happened to Stuttgarters, in another article, and now - about E38 in all its horses.

Technics

Talking about the comfort and excellent running qualities "Bavar" is an ungrateful matter. The one who knows about all this does not appear, will indignant the poverty of the description. The one who is not aware of the case is impellent to read all this. This is a car with a big letter "b", if briefly. If literally a little more, then the car is completely classic in design.

Steel body, completely traditional forms and very stylish design. Three wheelbase options - standard, IL machines with an increase to the length of the base 140 mm and even longer L7, stretched already for all 390 mm, but because of this, the car looks differently. The insert between the front and the rear doors is clearly visible, while the usual elongated version looks much harmonious - he is just longer than the back door.

The drive is always rear. Pendants and steering also do not make anything unusual - "MacPherson" in front (yes, it is he, and not a double chamber, as written on most of the resources, just check out the catalogs and make sure that) and the multi-dimensional suspension with the integrated lever from the back. And no ridges, a regular steering gear with a servotronic amplifier.

Inside - Paradise for the driver and passengers, whole groves of villains of valuable breeds and flocks of cows are leaving. Of course, already in the database there is a very "bohato", and it was possible to order everything - from separate rear seats with curtains and music Nakamishi to changer, cell phone, navigation systems with a color display and TV. For the first time, there was a BMW Assist control system and "security curtains", which serve to prevent injury from injury at side impact and coup.

The trunk is considered small, but it is enough for a regular refrigerator, and for the subwoofer of non-standard music. By the way, the acoustics of the salon is very good, especially in versions with double glazing, which was offered as an option. In general, at the time of its appearance in 1994 and up to the end of the release in 2001, the car personified luxury and comfort, a bit restrained by traditional drivers of the brand.

Yes, in addition to Servotronic there are a lot of other electronic assistants. It was on the "seven" for the first time a full-fledged stabilization system appeared, and in the future, the system setting on all Bavarian machines will inherit its character when the "default" electronics allows you to "draw" and is unwritten only with serious sliding angles. Adaptive shock absorbers and the body level adjustment system are also listed in the list of options. Well, of course, the car was at its disposal the most advanced five-speed automatic transmission from ZF with electronic control, and later the automatic transmission from GM. How does all this magnificence run 15-20 years after the car from the conveyor? This is a very interesting question.

Breakdowns and problems in operation

Motors

Bavarian motors on E38 are still from that generation, which can not be called very problematic. The car was only a little touched on the scandal with Nickille on M52 and M60, but in our conditions Naizil is the preferred material of the cylinder block coating, and the motors are usually broken off due to simple wear.

The main motors on the "seven" are the V8 of the volume from three to 4.4 liters and the engines of the M60 and M62 series. I have repeatedly wrote about them and I will note only that this is one of the most successful passenger "eights" in principle. And M60 is a little more reliable than the heir at the expense of more. The series is also considered in the reviews of earlier models and is similar to one of the most reliable.

The main problems of all motors under the hood of BMW are overheating and breakdowns of various sensors. Overheating is usually a consequence of scored radiators, faulty wicked and inactive operation of a powerful motor. For the seventh series, the problem is expressed stronger than for junior cars, because service limousines often stand at idle turns in winter and in the summer hours waiting for their only passenger, and all the troubles "get out" before.

Unfortunately, the consequences are not always completely eliminated, and the solid part of the machines with Motors V8 aged clearly wears traces of several overheating with all of them, the accompanying troubles - cluttered rings, bloated and unreliable cooling system tubes ... typical problems for all motors are Weak ignition modules and a limited life of lambda sensors. Otherwise, you have both a chance to get a great engine with a mileage of three hundred thousand kilometers and a completely "dead" with piston and knee bulisers and "knee", although it could be just a half hundred.

On the model 750 and 750IL, the M73 series not considered the V12 M73 motor, which leads its pedigree from M70, and the one, in turn, is suspiciously similar to a pair of the "six" of the M30 series connected together. Despite the gigantic sizes and 12 cylinders, the engine is relatively simple in the design, there are only 2 valves on the cylinder and until 98 there were no new-fashioned trends in the form of high-temperature controlled thermostats and "Venos".

The more recent version of the M73N motor was also equipped with a promger and raised the operating temperature, but it did not significantly affect reliability - the resource is still simplified, thanks to the small degree of forcing and high quality performance.

Diesel motors are relatively rare, and this is again the old familiar in the face of the 2.5-liter engine of the M51 series and the very common Turbodiesel of the M57 series. The first frankly weak for a heavy car, and his character is not very fighter, but more voluminous M57 must be recognized as extremely successful motors for these machines. It is bad only that as a gearbox, they were far from the perfect American "automatic".

Transmissions

Here, too, everything without surprises: Mechanical gearbox, cardan shafts and rear gearbox are very reliable. Even self-locking differential easily makes the "forgetfulness" of a number of owners who do not change oil in it for years, the benefit of drift on "seven" is extremely rare. And automatic transmissions here are mainly of the very reliable series of ZF 5HP24 and 5HP19, which are already repeatedly.

These aggregates at one time were on the edge of progress and look good and now. True, they are almost like the problems of modern automatic transmission - and the associated oil pollution, overheating boxes with rigid operation and a relatively short service life of the oil. But most often the boxes are due to the fault of the owners who are afraid of changing the oil, and because of the "generic" problems. So it is possible to consider these automatic transmission practically eternal.

But the GM is rarely found on the six-cylinder engines, GM is not happy with reliability, and I have already written why - the blade pump does not like high speed and dirty oil, and after losing pressure, the number of possible problems increases at times. But at the moment these boxes are developed in repair, and their replacement on ZF is also worked out.

Body

For the flagship sedan, they did not spare either paint, no paint, and the solid part of the cars still looks very good. The guarantee of strong body health is warm parking and regular visits to the washing. Class obliges. If corrosion damage is found, then first of all on the thresholds, doors and wheeled arches. And also places for fastening the rear subframe on powerful machines with top motors.

We mainly suffer from copies that have long passed to use private traders or who have worked accompanied, with inevitable grinding, sandblasting and rigid operation. The high price of most body parts at a low price of the machines themselves often causes the owners to "Circle", which first of all affects the state of plastic parts of the body and chrome elements.

The set of outdoor plastic in an excellent condition can cost more than half the price of an old car, and even in the absence of corrosion and not much LCP, the appearance of the appearance to the original will force to spend. The cost of optics, mirrors, antennas and a variety of lids and luchkov is also able to plunge into despondency. Prices are lower than on a new car, but just once a half or two, there is almost no choice of non-original, the choice of "stunned" on the parses is also small, and the very status of the parts usually does not shine. A good set, let's say, from England you need to wait, and its price will also be far from gentle.

Salon and electrics

Salon and electrical equipment of the machine, on the one hand, are filled at a very high level, and on the other, they are still the main suppliers of small and not very problems. Ornate equipped copies have a huge number of different interior options, which will inevitably eventually require repair, and not always a question in price. Often, the replacement of a broken block is simply impossible to purchase for reasonable time and not very reasonable money.

Fortunately, the critical breakdowns here may arise except in the climate control unit, dashboard and a pair of control units - the main and block of the onboard control system, which can still be purchased new in the amount of the order of fifty thousand rubles of steam. That's just a car with a bunch of non-working electronics at all like a dream car, and the price for it, respectively, falls, because the brought to the "living" state will require strength and funds.

The electrical problems include very unpleasant troubles with a "smart" SERVOTRONIC steering system, with an ABS unit, which bears on itself and the functions of a dynamic stabilization system, actually the problems of the rotational wiring of the machines and a number of troubles arising from the engine sensors.

Chassis

The reliability of the suspension on the "seven" if not exemplary, then very good by the standards of the company. The front suspension after the full bulkhead and neat operation can also go through one and a half hundred thousands, and the rear usually stands out for thousands of 40-60, which for a very heavy machine with good handling can be considered a worthy result.

However, with tight operation, which was characteristic of service cars, the suspension showed themselves worse, demanding regular attention, in contrast to. The cost of repair components is at a completely reasonable level, and only a complete bulkhead will require serious costs or replacing the rear integral lever assembly after the accident or replacing the actuator shock absorbers. But instead of them most often put standard - due to the extremely high cost of original spare parts.

The steering gear is unpretentious, but repairing its roads - most often when the backlash appears, it is replaced with a contract. However, the total cost of servicing the steering is not at all kopeck, if you use high-quality components. The control module sometimes fails: problems can throw out both the control unit itself and the gearbox valve block, which can break through the motor and valves of force adjustment. Fortunately, now the module has learned to repair, restore "according to the dealer technology", i.e. With the replacement of the steering gearbox, it is extremely expensive.

As with all the old BMW models, first of all you need to try not to get to the criminal car - it is worth checking the coincidence of all ViN numbers on the body and the conformity of the configuration "by guilt" and in fact. As well as the presence of traces of welding of spars and other problems associated with alterars.

Secondly, just to decide how much hundreds of thousand you want to spend on the car per year. Yes, yes, hundreds, not dozens. If one or two, then at your service Late copies with V8 motors, without special "bells, and in good condition. If more - then you just need to take the car with the necessary set of options and not "killed."

If there are a little low money, but you still want to play the lottery, then look for a dorestayling machine with M52 or M60 motors with a volume of 3 liters or a restyled "American" with M62 3.5 - in such versions minimum taxes, and with expenses for everything else - How lucky.

But it is strongly recommended to get acquainted with the knowledge base on E38 on profile resources - this will not only get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow much repairs will cost, but also that in the car can already be "clamped". And the list is huge, almost all nodes require attention. It is likely that it will save you from a rash purchase, and the dream will remain only a dream.

In 1993, BMW introduced a fully recycled third generation of luxury sedans 7 series at the Frankfurt Motor Show BMW E38.Since 1994, the car began to produce at the factory in Dingolfing.

The car was produced from 1994 to 2001 and for all time 327,560 - units of cars were released.

Design

Interior

Harmonious forms and special quality materials in the interior E38 have formed their own inner world of mobility and comfort of the salon.

E38 BMW was installed with an electric hatch, an audio system with 14 speakers and four subwoofers, a 6-disk CD changer, onboard satellite navigation (on models 1994-1996. On the basis of the VDOTon-Carin system, from 1997-2000 Phillips systems with a separate Trimble Navigation receiver, model 2001 G.V. based on the Phillips system with a built-in TRIMBLE NAVIGATION receiver), an automatic climate control system with separate regulators for the driver and passenger. As an option, it was possible to order air conditioning with automatic climate control to the back of the cabin, controls and the display were located on the center console.

In a standard multifunction steering wheel, the radio control buttons, cruise control and air conditioning recycling buttons, which makes it easy and safely to control the functions without rearing hands from the steering wheel.

Automatic climate control with automatic air recirculation, micro filter and activated carbon filter ensures cleaning and air distribution. The filter cleans the air in the interior from harmful gases and even from many odors.

Standard automatic climate control supports the air temperature slightly smaller than at the bottom of the car, thereby creating a comfortable atmosphere in the car's cabin.

Engines and model range

The 740th model became the most popular E38 in all the time, it was released in quantity - 129 356 and 740IL - 50,933 copies.

Four months after the start of production, in September 1994, a top model 750i was released and a particularly popular elongated version with an increased wheelbase with a 5,4-liter - and a 5-speed automatic zf transmission.

In 1995, the basic version with is available. Thanks to the exceptional efficiency of 728i, this model has become one of the most successful models in this series.

In 1996, the first diesel version of the 7 series was presented - with two valves per cylinder. Due to the weight E38 (from 1905 to 2235 kg), the car was little productive, but could provide low fuel consumption.

In 1996, a limited edition version was presented, which is luxurious than 750il, but with the engine as in the 750th model - M73B54. The luxury model had a sliding partition between the front and rear seats, a telephone, refrigerator.

In 1996, the BMW company releases the 730th version of the 735IL version with the V8 - M62 engine.

In 1998, the model series E38 joined, equipped with a diesel power unit with a capacity.

In 1999, a top diesel version with a 3.9-liter Turbo-Diesel Twinturbo was launched.

Transmission

BMW E38 7 Series was offered either with a 5-speed automatic or manual gearbox for 730d, 740D, 740i / IL, and 750i / IL with a 5-speed automatic ZF box.

Dimensions

Restyling BMW E38.

In 1998, the E38 Body was updated. The front of the car was suspended, the rear lights were updated, a sports suspension, new wheels and a hydraulic transformer installed.

In addition, it was presented for 7 series a new sports package (which was originally available for version 740i), an automatic climate control system is improved, front side airbags and a standard head protection system.

The production of E38 7 series was discontinued in 2001, the 4th generation came on its replacement.

Video BMW E38

BMW E38 7 Series (1995-2002).
Description, specifications and photos.

3rd generation of sedans BMW 7-series E38 The luxury class was first presented in 1995.

The BMW 7 series was produced in the following options: 725tdi, 730d, 730i, 735i, 740i, 740iL, 750IL, 740IL Protection and 750IL Protection. Cars of the "Protection" series are equipped with bulletproof glasses, details that enhance the protected body, and wheels on which it is possible to go, even if they are completely lowered.

Immediately should be understood: the car is not quite a representative. BMW is famous for sports, therefore, if we talk about the smoothness of the course and silent, "seven" is partly inferior to competitors. Even the car looks rapidly classmates: a low hood, topped with branded "nostrils" of radiator lattices, large glass.

Despite the large external dimensions, there are not so many inside the place. The driver sits at all, as if in the cockpit of the fighter - it is surrounded by appliances and control buttons to the auxiliary systems. The central console is traditionally slightly deployed to it face.

At the same time, in the car there are all the necessary elements of comfort, including an electropacuit, automatic adjustments of seats and climate control. (Note: Until 98th, most options were not part of the standard)

The popularity of "seven" from year to year was added electronic "brains", according to which she overtook the rest of the competitors. Among the electronic filling is a system of dynamic movement stabilization (DSC), and an adaptive automatic transmission (AGS), which allows you to change the gear shift algorithm, depending on the motion modes, and the electronic ELM motor control system.

Electronics also largely determines the characteristics of the suspension and active safety systems. For example, the comfort of passengers when driving the system for regulating the position of the NR body and automatic stabilization of the ASC bodies. ECS using electronics controls the rigidity of shock absorbers.

Version 750IL is additionally completed with the Park Distance Control system, a 5-speed automatic transmission, self-regulated suspension, a cell phone with a voice dialing, heated front and rear seats, an audio system consisting of 14 speakers, the power of which is 440 watts and aluminum discs. The temperature and temperature ventilation system allows you to set a different climate for the driver and passengers of the front and rear seats.

The BMW of the 7th series was also offered with an elongated 13 cm body of limousine (740IL, 750IL) and stretch with a lengthening by 38 cm (BMW 750IXL). All additional space provided by rear passengers, which can almost pull the legs. Here, undoubtedly, the luxury reigns. The chic "Bimmer" retained all the family advantages - excellent dynamics and handling. Thanks to the flagship V12, developing 326 forces, the limousine is accelerated to hundreds for six with a small second.

By smoothness, BMW engineers have found a compromise between handling and comfort. The car is quite planted to meet the requirements of the representative class, and is quite accurate in the reactions to enjoy the driver who knows the fastest ride. Yes, it is possible to drive on direct autobahn on any of the German flagships, but only BMW in addition perfectly behaves on winding roads. A relatively rigid suspension is difficult to "break through", even if you drive in high speed into a serious coldustin.

"Sevenki", besides, equipped with several airbags for both passengers of the front and passengers of the rear seats. Moreover, the new Head Protection System system, which represents an inflatable umbrella, which unfolds diagonally from the windshield rack to the roof above the rear door, provides stitches of the heads sitting ahead of the passengers. Security of those who are accommodated from behind provide airbag built into the doors. Also, the car is equipped with locks blocking doors from the opening of children, the Dynamic Stability Control system and built-in sensors that automatically open the doors and include emergency lights and lights in the cabin in case of a serious accident.

    • Alexey, Irkutsk. Bought his seven BMW E38 in 2015, in very poor condition. But I was really for a penny, so I threw it into repair and got a doll. At first, the flow was 23 liters in the city, but after the motor went over and replaced the discs to 16, the consumption fell to 17 in the city and 12 on the track - this is with a 4 liter motor. I rolled back on it a year and going to sell - first, very expensive on gasoline, secondly - in service and repair very expensive, tired of spending constantly.
    • George, Omsk. BMW E38 is a car of this quality that can no longer be found in the Germans. If the hands grow from where it is necessary - in service it is not as expensive, as it is believed. Despite the fact that my 735i was released back in 1998, it breaks on trifles and mostly all connected with the hodovka. Motor and box work perfectly. On consumption in the city there is 17 liters - a lot, agrees and the motor is powerful. And on the track in 9-10 you can meet.

External BMW E38 Overview

The appearance of the representative Bavarsa is notable for which the second brand machine, after 3-series E36, with glazed headlight lenses. The car is offered with just one type of body - sedan. The sedan can be with a standard wheelbase and elongated to 100mm, the car becomes longer than 140mm. The long-base version can be distinguished on a wider back door and the inscription on the "IL" feed ("L" means LONG). Long base modification could be with any engine, in addition to gasoline 2.8 and diesel 2.5t. The design "Sevenki" became a prototype for the "five" in the Body E39 - pay attention to the similarity of two models. In 1998, modernization was carried out, the updated "seven" is the easiest to know from rounded from the bottom.

Equipment of the cabin and configuration E38

The BMW seventh series was equipped with a foot parking brake, and not a handheld, the chairs have a mass of electrically regulators, even the head restraint is regulated by a servo. As an option was offered heating rim steering. The machine can be equipped with ten airbags. In the glove compartment, the passenger is a flashlight, which is attached to the charger - it can be reached. Optional audio system with fourteen speakers has a power of 440Vatt. Often, massage was installed on seven recent years of release.

The luggage compartment has a volume of 500 liters, which is quite enough for a family car (today thirty-eighth is often used in this role). The luggage compartment is the battery. The "Login" function of the trunk cover indicates the premiumness of this vehicle.

TECHNICAL PART AND CHARACTERISTICS BMW 7-SERIES E38

The least powerful gasoline engine BMW 7-Series E38 was 2.8 (M52 motor series). The six-cylinder unit developed 193 horsepower, and even this engine did a sedan quite dynamic, 8.6 ° C for acceleration at the BMW with mechanics left, with an automatic box, overclocking lasted for a second longer.

The following power among gasoline modifications was a model - 730i with a 3.0 V8 M60 motor, which in 96 replaced 3.5 to 235 M62 forces - BMW 735. Three engine data were not available in the States, only powerful sedans were supplied to the USA. Version 740i initially had a volume of 4.0 liters, but in 1996 the volume was increased to 4.4, the model was still named - 740i, while the power practically did not change - 285 forces before and 286 after modernization. The most powerful and most desirable is 750i with a twelve-cylinder unit at 5.4 liters, 326 horses and a moment in 490n. Motor refers to the M73 series. 750i dials the first hundred for 6.6c, the maximum speed "seven" is limited by electronics - 250km.

The least low-speed of all seven is 725TD with 143 forces, with mechanics, diesel Bavaret is gaining a hundred per 11.5s, and with an automatic for 12.2С - not by Bavarian slowly. Diesel 730D has a power in 193 hp, and 740d - 245 forces. Diesel versions were also not supplied in the States.

All the power units have an aluminum block, which is considered that it is not amenable to overhaul, but our craftsmen have learned him to giln. Before the overhaul, gasoline engines go to 400 - 700 thousand, but it should be remembered that overheating is the most evil enemy for BMW, at least once a year, the cooling radiator should be cleaned. There are cases of engine breakdowns because of the hydroudar, the air intake is pretty low, so it is necessary to drop speed before large puddles.

Only the most "weak" versions with gasoline 2.8 and diesel 2.5 in the database were completed with mechanics, the other versions were already in the base with automatic five-speed gearboxes. The E38 machine is one of the first adaptive automata in the world, which can adapt to the driving style of the driver (AGS system).

Optionally, the tire pressure system was proposed, which was noticed by the driver about the reduced, or vice versa in high pressure in the tire. In the 7-Series E38, the Break Control system appeared that with a sharp press on the brake pedal increases the pressure in the brake circuit, in those years such a system was found only on very expensive cars.

The front racks of the stabilizer live on 35,000. The front suspension silent blocks run 50 thousand, and ball 100,000, but they should be changed only with levers (like Silent blocks).

The top levers of the rear suspension are made of aluminum and therefore serve less than the lower - 60 - 90nsc, while the bottom go to 200 and even 250 thousand.

The 750i in the standard was equipped with a pneumatic suspension, which can prompt body for 5cm, for other modifications this system is option.

E38 is a representative class car, which was published in 1994, in June. It was this series that replaced the second generation of the seventh series. This model is interesting to the fact that Munich manufacturers first began to install diesel engines in the car. And, I must say, this is not the only feature of the BMW 750i E38.

Long-awaited debut

This car was produced for seven years - starting from 1994 to 2001. Only then changed it to the famous "Semyon" E66 / 65 today. For all the time of release, the volume of sale of the 750th model amounted to about 327 thousand cars.

What can I say about the debut of this car? In fact, there is a mass of contradictions in the sense that various sources say different starts of production. But the official announcement of the concern provided in early April 1994. However, at that time, "Semyon" in the body of E38 was published over six months. In general, in this topic there are unresolved questions. However, this is not of great importance, so it is not worth loaning.

About changes

It is worth noting that in addition to the BMW 750i E38 there are other model options. Should list them. It is 728IM 735i, 730i (these versions were not available in Canada and the USA), 740IL, 740i, also the flagship 750i with the V12 Motor and, of course, diesel options. There were three of them - 730d, 740d, 725tds.

The model, in contrast to its predecessors, has undergone great changes. They touched both its appearance and technical characteristics. BMW 750i E38, photo of which demonstrates us a car, very similar to the E32 body, really has similarities with predecessors. True, externally similarities are more than in the cabin.
