Later (probably 2002) these models will be followed by the 760i with the new N73 engine. The range will soon be extended to include a 730d and 740d along with a 730i.The long version E66, too, will be available as of 2002. Plans for an E67 security model are also well advanced.Fig. 1: View from the side and frontKT-8629E65 Body Complete Vehicle- 2 -Fig. 2: View from the side and rear- DesignIn terms of appearance, too, the E65 represents a huge step forward.The new, trend-setting design makes a statement - dynamism and eagerness to go new ways.Smooth transitions between “square-cut“ and “round“ attract the eye, as does the coup-like roofline.The new headlights, too, and the redesigned tail section will be trend-setting for future models as well.The new, bright lights in the rear clusters underscore the new appearance.Despite these changes, the typical BMW hallmarks such as the kidney grille are retained.KT-8630E65 Body Complete Vehicle- 3 - DimensionsThe E65 is larger than the predecessor model, the E38, and the dimensions are as follows:As this table shows, the E65 is 65 mm longer than the E38.

It can be raised to a service position, in which it is almost vertical. It can be opened to this position by disengaging the dampers and extending them with the aid of a special tool (similar to the E46).The ornamental grilles are a snap-fit in the engine-compartment lid.As in the E38, the two-part kidney grille is also snap-fitted into the engine-compartment lid.Fig. 7: Kidney grille, two-p
