  Future Classic Friday: BMW 7-Series E65 29 Mar 2019 (News)
  .  Controversial bits aside, the 7-series was otherwise a very pleasant luxury car, with the traditional BMW attributes of quality trim, refinement and class-leading handling. The powertrains were terrific, too, with a choice of six-cylinder, V8 or V12 petrol units or six-pot and V8 diesels, not one of which was a slouch. There was also a model that was genuinely bombproof - the 760iL Security model, designed for dignitaries and world leaders.
