740iL and 750iL Protection Line light-armored vehicles were built from 2000-2001, and cost US$99,100 and US$124,400, respectively. These models included body armor, bullet-resistant glass and run-flat tires.
A rare executive V12-powered stretch limousine was also produced, called the BMW L7.
When the E38 was phased out in 2001 to make way for the new E65, sales of E38s increased noticeably in the car's final months of production as people moved to buy the car before it went out of production. The E65 was received so poorly by consumers that demand for the E38 rose and used E38s increased in value.
2001
Final year of E38 sales with production ending in July of 2001.
Includes body-colored side skirts and front/rear air dams, which were previously flat black
Clear turn signal lights replace amber-colored lights.
A number of previously optional features become standard, including a Motorola StarTAC phone with mayday system, and 16-way Comfort seats.
Widescreen Navigation added from 9/00 production.
