Hope I don't bore you guys - I'm having fun researching the E38 and thought I'd share what I'm finding with the group.
The E38 models in Europe were offered with either a five-speed automatic or manual transmission. The engine variants in Europe were 725tds, 728i, 730i, 730d, 735i, 740i (4.0 and 4.4 L), 740d and 750i (with a 5.4 L 322 bhp (240 kW) engine, as was used in the Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph).
1996
750i included Steptronic automatic transmission with manual shift mode.
728i and 735i was launched with traction control, ABS, alloy wheels, dual airbags, air-conditioning, leather upholstery, and electric front seats.
740i and 740iL upgraded from 4.0L to 4.4L V8 engine.
Steptronic and traction control become standard on 730i, 740i, and 740iL.
Steptronic is not available in the North American market until 1999 when the 740i ZSP Sport Package was offered.
An Alpina sports suspension, onboard TV and satellite navigation system were offered as options.
