What is a 728iL? (archive)

I'm visiting from the e32 site and have a question I hope you can answer. During a visit to the Middle East, while admiring a new 7 series, I noticed that the badge said "728iL". I didn't know that BMW put anything other than V8's and V12's in the e38 cars? Are there indeed 6 cylinder engines in 7 series in international markets? What other engines does BMW currently use in 7 series cars outside the US? This car has to be underpowered for its size!
