The BMW E65 7 Series (produced from 2001 to 2008) was equipped with automatic transmissions only, specifically:
-
ZF 6HP26 6-speed automatic transmission: This was the primary transmission used across most E65 models, including the 735i, 745i, and 750i. It was a 6-speed automatic with smooth shifting and good reliability, designed for comfort and performance.
-
ZF 6HP32 6-speed automatic transmission: Found in the higher-performance 760i model, this version of the ZF transmission was designed to handle the increased torque and power of the V12 engine.
The E65 was known for introducing many technological advancements, including the shift to automatic transmissions across all models, marking the end of manual transmission options in the 7 Series. If you're looking to maintain or service this transmission, having access to a detailed repair manual can help with essential procedures like fluid changes and diagnostics.
