BMW 7 Series

The BMW 7 Series has always been the top end BMW produced. When comparing with other car manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar and Audi, the 7 Series is the same range as the S-Class, the XJ and the A8 models respectively. The picture above shows all the 7 Series models ever produced until the current model.

Though I’m not much of a BMW fan, one particular 7 Series that has always attracted my attention is the E38 (pic above). Those of you who are fans of James Bond (which I obviously am), will remember this beauty. The car featured in ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ was a 750i which was a V12! There were at least 6 different gasoline engine variations produced for this model which included the 2.8 litre 6 cylinder, the 4 litre V8 and of course the 5.4 litre V12. There also a few variations of the diesel engines produced. Some of the models came with the long wheel base (LWB) variation as well as a rare L7 model limousine which I’ve never seen on our local roads yet.

Looking for one to buy? Prices for the E38 start just around RM 20k but remember, you got to make sure you have enough money to maintain the car as well as to pay for the high road tax especially for the higher capacity models. There are also many models converted to Japanese engines, but it’ll be better to get one with the original engine in it or at least a BMW engine.

Below is an excerpt from James Bond’s 'Tomorrow Never Dies' and the one below that is the BMW short film ‘Ambush’ where this model was featured.

My passion for automobiles

Hhmmm.. My passion for cars.. Where shall I start?

Well, my passion for cars started way back when I was a kid in pre-school. Having a dad who was passionate about cars certainly did influence me. Although he never had a collection of cars and he actually gave up his dreams to own his dream car in order to ensure that his children (one of them is me of course) always had the best, he always took good care of his car as well as cars belonging to others. 

Being a meticulous person, he always ensured that his car was always well maintained, serviced on time, all faults were immediately attended to and most importantly it was always clean. He used to personally wash the car every other day including cleaning the engine which he will take his time to do so ensuring every part of the engine bay is clean and free of dirt and dust. Till this day he still washes his car as well as all my cars of course. 

And so, that’s a little about my dad for now and basically how I started developing an interest in automobiles. The first car that I actually fell in love with was a Jaguar XJ6 Series 3 (that explains the reason I own one now). It was actually owned by a family friend of my late mom’s who happened to be a corporate figure at that time and still is. This was if I’m not mistaken in the year 1988 or 89 where he also had a BMW 7 series E32 together with the Jaguar. It was love at first sight for me when I first saw the Jag. A breathtaking sight it was for me even at that time and it was ever since I’ve always wanted a Jaguar XJ6 Series 3.

Well that’s all for now but just a caution, you may notice that I’m a little biased towards the classic Mercedes Benz and Jaguar marque as I find these two to be one of the finest if not the finest automobiles ever built. They may have their pros and cons but they are certainly remarkably well built cars.
