The E38's also deserve credit for being the last of the real 7's with the shifter on its rightful place on the center console (not on the column, ala Buick and Lincoln Town Car).

Even Cadillac has started to come around with a trend for putting the shifter back on the console instead of the steering column.



Yes, it's a 1988 750il. Don't make me open this to prove it...Death to censorship! Give me liberty or... give me an unlimited tab at the BMW parts counter! Last 7 digits of VIN number are 2765157'
