The BMW 7-Series E65/E66/E67/E68, produced from 2001 to 2008, marked a significant departure for the iconic German luxury sedan. This generation, codenamed E65 for the standard wheelbase and E66 for the long wheelbase, introduced a radical new design language that polarized opinions. Gone were the traditional, understated lines of previous generations, replaced with a bold, almost futuristic aesthetic. The "Bangle Butt" design, named after BMW's then-design chief Chris Bangle, featured a dramatically sloping rear end that became synonymous with the E65. Beneath the controversial exterior lay a groundbreaking chassis built with a mix of aluminum and steel, significantly reducing weight and improving handling. In addition to the standard gasoline engines, the E65/E66 offered a range of powerful diesel options, as well as a V12 in the top-of-the-line 760i. This generation also introduced cutting-edge technology like the iDrive infotainment system, head-up display, and active cruise control.

Despite the polarizing design, the E65/E66 7-Series was a technological marvel that pushed the boundaries of luxury and performance. However, it was not without its challenges. The iDrive system, while ambitious, was initially criticized for its complexity, and the advanced electronics were prone to occasional glitches. Reliability issues also became a concern for some owners, especially with the complex engine and transmission systems. The E65/E66 7-Series was undeniably a forward-thinking car, but its bold design and advanced technology came with a price, both in terms of initial cost and long-term maintenance. Despite its imperfections, the E65/E66 remains a significant car in BMW's history, paving the way for the innovative features that would become hallmarks of subsequent 7-Series models.
