Under the direction of Chris Bangle, BMW’s Design Chief at the time, the BMW E65 7 Series heralded a new styling era for BMW.
BMW’s board of directors were keen to move the company’s image into the future, and the initial styling sketches from 1998 by Adrian van Hooydonk were of a fastback body style – even more radical than the eventual production model. The controversial “flame surfacing” design greatly contrasted the conservative lines of its E38 predecessor. The rear end styling was nicknamed “Bangle Butt” by critics, due to the elongated rear bootlid.
Dimensionally the E65 7 Series is 45 mm (1.8 in) longer, 38 mm (1.5 in) wider and 60 mm (2.4 in) taller than the E38. The wheelbase is 2,990 mm (117.7 in), an increase of 60 mm (2.4 in) over the outgoing model. Despite these increased dimensions, the E65 7 Series is only 15 kg (33 lb) heavier than the E38. toyota wallpapers, car wallpaper, ford wallpapers, BMW 7 Series E65 wallpapers, chevrolet wallpapers
(Toyota Corolla)Eighth generation (E110; 1995)
Production of the E110 Corolla started in May 1995. The design of the car was slightly altered throughout but retained a look similar to that of the E100. In 1998, for the first time, some non-Japanese Corollas received the new 1ZZ-FE engine. The new engine was the first in a Toyota to have an aluminum engine block and aluminum cylinder heads, which made this generation lighter than the E100 Corolla. The model range began to change as Toyota decided styling differences would improve sales in different markets.
This generation was delayed in North America until mid-1997 (US 1998 model year), where it had unique front and rear styling. Europe and Australasia received versions of their own as well. In Pakistan, this model was halted in November 1998, while production was closed in March 2002. Toyota Corolla wallpapers#Mitsubishi #jeep #ferrari #PorscheCayman #AudiRS3
