BMW 7 SERIES (2002-2005)

This particular version of the 7 Series gained controversy no thanks to its styling and the i-Drive mechanism. Locally, there were short wheelbase models that were available but there are rare. Most 7 Series models sold are long wheelbase ones, with some features being exclusive to LWB models.
