The James Bond 7 Series. The E38's elegant proportions and V8/V12 powertrain options made it BMW's most desirable luxury sedan — and it looked spectacular being remote-controlled in Tomorrow Never Dies.

History

The E38 introduced satellite navigation, curtain airbags, and BMW's first diesel V8. The 750iL's 5.4-liter V12 was whisper-quiet and effortlessly powerful. Many consider the E38 the best-looking 7 Series ever made.
