Powertrain Options and Availability
For its first year in this form, a 4.0-liter dual-overhead-cam V8 engine powered the 740i/iL sedan. That engine grew to 4.4 liters in 1996, producing the same 282 horsepower. A 5.4-liter V12 has been installed in each 750iL sedan. All 7 Series BMWs have a 5-speed automatic transmission.
