BMW 7 Series

The fifth generation of the BMW 7 Series offers, according to BMW, a brand-new interpretation of style, luxury and driving experience – and we belive they are right. Design of the new BMW 7 Series was tuned down a bit, standing for natural presence, superior sportiness and precise elegance. The features of the car are authentically visualised through its modern, progressive look, with a brand-new range of engines ensuring BMW EfficientDynamics of the highest standard.  Lightweight engineering and innovative suspension technology ensure dynamic driving qualities quite unique in the luxury class. Driver assistance systems and comfort functions exclusive to BMW set the foundation for a truly fascinating driving experience.

The all-new suspension optimising both driving dynamics and, in particular, motoring comfort: First BMW Saloon with doublearmfront axle, integral V rear axle exclusive to BMW, front and rear axles made largely of aluminium. The main design theme characterising the new BMW 7 Series is the harmonious combination of elegance and sportiness. Apart from the car’s long wheelbase, the long and sleek engine compartment lid, and the short overhang at the front, the passenger compartment moved further to the rear and the low, sleek roofline emphasis and, indeed, highlight the dynamic proportions of the new BMW 7 Series. The unusually dynamic and stretched lines of the car are therefore a clear testimony to superior sportiness and at the same time convey a powerful impression of precise elegance. The balanced harmony of these features comes out particularly clearly in the side-line of the car.

The new BMW 7 Series is entering the market with a V8 and a straight-six gasoline engine both featuring Twin Turbo technology and direct fuel injection as well as the first representative of a new generation of six-cylinder diesel engines, followed by the 12 cylinder engine. Benefiting from these drive units and the wide range of engine technologies serving to enhance the all-round standard of efficiency to an even higher level, the various modelsin the BMW 7 Series, following the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy, now also offer truly outstanding performance, fuel economy and emission management data in their respective segments.
