The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/07\/01\/2023-bmw-7-series-i7-production-start-dingolfing\/\">G70<\/a> comes in only one size and it\u2019s a whopping 362 millimeters (14.2 inches) longer than this car. It goes to show how much bigger (and heavier) cars have gotten in recent decades, especially since the 5 Series is only a tad shorter than this E32.<\/p>\n<p>In light of stringent emissions regulations, BMW has sunsetted the V12 engine with the latest 7er. Back when the E32 was around, the Bavarians even crammed in a V16 for the bonkers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/09\/25\/bmw-7-series-e32-goldfish-v16-engine-walkaround-video\/\">\u201cGoldfisch\u201d one-off<\/a> also known as the \u201c767iL\u201d or \u201cThe Secret Seven.\u201d Displacement of the 5.0-liter unit was bumped to 6.7 liters and output grew to more than 400 hp and over 600 Nm (443 lb-ft). However, there were no plans to put that engine in production. Bentley tested a Mulsanne prototype with the mighty V16 but never offered it to customers.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of large-displacement engine, in 2022 you can\u2019t even get a V8 engine in the 7 Series if you\u2019re buying from a European country. On the same note, the next-generation 5 Series will reportedly have a V8 only for the flagship M5 super sedan scheduled to hit the market around 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QIwDZWRvVno\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rsDrive \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"1988 BMW 750il E32 V12 in Gold #bmw7series #v12\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QIwDZWRvVno?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Launched in 1986, the 7 Series E32 was the first BMW production car with a V12 engine.
