The BMW 750iL in the BMW Museum Munich

The electronical system in the BMW 750iL (E32)

This model in the BMW Museum Munich shows the integration of electronic systems in the BMW 750iL for controlling the engine, automatic transmission and driving stability of the vehicle. The use of electronics is presented in five different areas: driving dynamic, environmental protection, information, motoring comfort and safety. In the slices model of the BMW 750iL you see, for example, the functions of Electronic Damper Control (EDC), the oxygen sensor of the catalytic converter and the combination of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) and Automatic Stability Control (ASC).

Features of the BMW 750iL include BMW's V12 light-alloy power unit, four-speed automatic transmission with electronic/hydraulic control (EHC), self-levelling suspension, Servotronic power steering, cruise control, automatic air conditioning and the on-board computer. The BMW Museum shows five video films, which show the benefits offered by the BMW 750iL's electronic systems.

Below you see some of the pictures, which I took in the BMW Museum in October 2002.

The benefits of the electronical systems of the BMW 750iL are shown in five different videofilms (picture on right).
 

Several componets of the sliced BMW 750iL in the BMW Museum Munich are marked with light emitting diodes to explain easily their functionality on the control panels.

The sliced BMW 750il is the only 7series in the Museum.
