The BMW 7-Series E65/E66/E67/E68, produced from 2001 to 2008, represented a significant departure for the luxury automaker. This generation, often referred to as the "Bangle-era" 7-Series due to its distinctive styling by Chris Bangle, introduced a radical new design language that polarized opinions. Its massive kidney grilles, sweeping lines, and unconventional rear end were a stark contrast to the more conservative designs of previous generations. Despite the initial controversy, the E65/E66 7-Series offered a significant technological leap forward, boasting features that were considered groundbreaking at the time. It introduced iDrive, BMW's now ubiquitous infotainment system, which integrated various functions into a single central control knob. It also featured adaptive headlights, head-up display, active cruise control, and a comprehensive suite of safety features, setting a new benchmark for luxury car technology.

Under the hood, the E65/E66 7-Series offered a diverse range of powerful engines, from the base 3.0-liter inline-six to the potent V12 in the 760Li. With its wide array of engine options, luxurious interior, and advanced technology, the E65/E66 7-Series became a popular choice among discerning drivers across the globe. However, the E65/E66 7-Series also suffered from a reputation for reliability issues, particularly with its complex electronics and iDrive system. Nevertheless, its bold design, cutting-edge technology, and driving dynamics cemented its place as a landmark model in the history of the BMW 7-Series. The E67 and E68 variations, though less known, offered long-wheelbase (LWB) versions and were primarily popular in the Chinese and Middle Eastern markets. While the E65/E66/E67/E68 7-Series may not be as widely regarded as some of its predecessors, it undeniably served as a catalyst for innovation within the luxury car segment and continues to be a noteworthy example of BMW's commitment to pushing boundaries in design and technology.
