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. The eight-cylinder developing
maximum output of 300 kW/407 hp between 5,500 and 6,400 rpm in the BMW
750i, for example, is the most efficient engine in its performance class
and the only engine of its kind worldwide with the turbochargers fitted
in the V-space between the two rows of cylinders.
