I'm interested purchasing a 2001 7 series L.

Which series should I consider?

Uhh. You've already decided upon a 7-series long wheelbase model.

Perhaps you mean: which *motor* should I buy.
In the US you only get two choices: the 4.4l V8 and the 5l V12
(and I'm not sure the V12 was offered in '01). Now, if you're in
Europe, the choices are greater: a 3.5l V8 was available I believe,
and possibly even the 3.0l I6.

If he's in Europe, there's also has the option of a great turbodiesel
too:

I live in the US planning to purchase a 2001 7 series.
Wanted suggestions on specific 7 series models.

What model and engine would the group recommend and what is the difference
of a iL versus a Li?

Buy a 740i. The L means long wheelbase (and another 150lbs.) The placement
of the L is only due to the ad poster not knowing what's right.
