Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
Introduced for 1995, the E38-generation 7-Series is widely regarded as one of BMW’s finest executive sedans, blending understated styling, advanced technology, and exceptional driving dynamics. The chassis gained lasting cultural significance through its appearances in film and popular media while earning a reputation for its elegant design and driver-focused character. For its final model year, BMW gave the E38 a fitting send-off with body-color lower bumpers and side skirts, lending the flagship sedan a cleaner, more contemporary appearance.
The 740i Sport, affectionately called the "Sporty Shorty," paired the short-wheelbase chassis with the factory Sport Package, which included firmer suspension calibration, 18-inch M Parallel wheels, Shadowline exterior trim, a shorter final-drive ratio, and 18-way adjustable contour sport seats. These upgrades sharpened handling, improved responsiveness, and gave the Sport model a more purposeful presence. Combining the coveted short-wheelbase platform, desirable Sport Package equipment, and final-year updates, the 2001 740i Sport is a definitive expression of the E38 generation.
