For the first time in decades, BMW's flagship 7 Series doesn't offer a V12 at all — the engine that once defined the top of the range was simply dropped in favor of a plug-in hybrid.
The G11's M760i carried a V12, the last 7 Series engine of that configuration BMW has built, retired when this generation ended.
The G11 was the first 7 Series ever offered with four-wheel steering — BMW badged it Integral Active Steering, and only on the all-wheel-drive cars.
The F01 7 Series offered rear-wheel steering — Integral Active Steering — turning the rear wheels independently to tighten the turning circle of a full-size luxury sedan.
The E65 7 Series was the first production car anywhere with an electric parking brake — one that could engage itself in stop-and-go traffic or when the ignition switched off.
In late 1997, this 7 Series became the first car in the world — alongside its E39 5 Series sibling — to offer side-impact head airbags, staying inflated up to seven seconds for rollover protection.
The E32's V12 nearly didn't happen: BMW's tooling for the bodyshell was already built when an exec pushed to widen the car and add a V12 anyway, at an estimated 300 million Deutsche Mark in scrapped tooling.
BMW named the turbo E23 "745i" using pure marketing math: engineers assumed a turbo made about 1.4x the power of the same size naturally aspirated engine, so a 3.2-liter turbo six got badged like a 4.5.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
