The BMW 7 Series is a full-size luxury sedan produced by the German automaker BMW since 1977. It is the successor to the BMW E3 "New Six" sedan and is currently in its sixth generation. The 7 Series is BMW's flagship car and is only available as a sedan. Onboard manual keyless entry remote fob smart key programming is not available on the BMW 7 Series, meaning that special equipment along with programming instructions will be needed to program a keyless entry remote fob smart key.
