The BMW E38 is the third generation of the BMW 7 Series luxury cars and was produced from 1994 until 2001. The E38 replaced the E32 7 Series and was produced with petrol and turbo-diesel straight-six and V8 engines, along with a petrol V12 flagship model. Three wheelbase lengths were available — short (i), long (iL) and Limousine (L7).

The E38 was the first car available with curtain airbags. It was also the first European car to offer satellite navigation and the first BMW to offer an in-built television. The E38 was the first 7 Series to be available with a diesel engine and the last to be available with a manual transmission.

In 2001, the E38 was replaced by the E65 7 Series.

Common 1991 Bmw 750il problems

The BMW 750iL, specifically the 1991 model, is known to have several common problems that have been reported by owners. Here are some of the most frequently mentioned issues:

  • Jerky Transmission Shifts: The transmission in the 1991 BMW 750iL can make jerky upshifts and downshifts. This problem is not constant and is independent of speed or climate conditions. The owner in this case was advised against changing the fluid due to its "lifetime service". The cause of this issue is not explicitly stated, but it is suggested that it may be due to a problem with the transmission control module or the hydraulic system.
  • Rear Rubbing Noise: This problem can be caused by several factors, including worn-out wheel bearings, hand brake issues, brake pad rubbing on the rotor, or something caught between the splash guard and brakes. The owner in this case was advised to jack up the car and check for play in the rear wheels, which could indicate a problem with the wheel bearings. The hand brake and brake pads should also be inspected for any issues.
  • Non-Functioning Radio: The radio in the 1991 BMW 750iL may not function properly. In the case described, the radio head unit lights up and functions as normal, but the DSP does not light up or function. The owner tested the speaker function via the car phone and found that it works, leading them to believe that the amplifier in the rear may be the issue. However, they are unsure how to test it before purchasing a new one.
  • Front Thrust Rod Bushings May Fail: This issue has been reported by 14 people. The front thrust rod bushings may fail, causing problems with the car's suspension.
  • Multiple Power Steering Hoses May Simultaneously Fail: This issue has been reported by 9 people. Multiple power steering hoses may fail simultaneously, causing problems with the car's power steering system.

These are some of the most common problems reported by owners of the 1991 BMW 750iL. It is important to note that not all cars of this model will experience these issues, and some may have different problems altogether. However, these are some of the issues that owners of this car should be aware of.
