2002 BMW E65 745i
Released 2002
The new 745i takes advantage of many new varible adjusting systems. For the first time ever, the new V8 features a system called DIVA, a new fully variable intake manifold system. DIVA, combined with VANOS and
BMW's recently released valvetronic system offer lower fuel consumption and high perfromance than the previous 7 series sedans. The valvetronic system varies the degree of valve lift to control engine breathing, thereby negating the need for a throttle body.
The V8 is mated to an all new 6 speed automatic with integrated shift-by-wire
technology. The interior space is cleaned up with use of BMW's iDrive technology first seen in the Z9 convertible concept. The majority of the secondary controls are now operated through a central
controller. A central computer monitor displays the various functions. The new 7 Series also offers internet access through an individually configured WAP-supported BMW internet portal incorporated in the car.
