Stunning new 7 to launch next month
Scheduled to go on sale in November the new BMW 7 is being hailed as setting a new benchmark in automotive luxury, technical innovation and class-leading dynamics. So far with no estimated price, the fifth generation of BM’s 7 series lists a lot of firsts:-
• World’s first Night Vision system with individual pedestrian recognition
• World’s first production car with front side view camera
• First BMW Saloon with speed-related Integral Active Steering
• First BMW with Lane Change Warning
• BMW 7 Series to feature EfficientDynamics for class-leading CO2 emissions and fuel consumption
Using a 2,979cc powerplant, the BMW 740i musters 326hp and 450Nm of torque. The car accelerates from zero to 62mph in 5.9 seconds before going on to an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph. The 3.0-litre BMW 740i and 740Li post combined fuel consumption figures of 28.5mpg and 28.2mpg respectively, while returning emissions figures of 232g/km and 235g/km.
The new 7 Series comes with one of the most luxurious interiors of any premium car. In addition to a new iDrive controller and larger 10.2-inch screen, owners will be able to programme frequently selected radio stations or navigation destinations on favourite buttons located on the centre console.
The 7 Series is the first BMW to enable a customer to upload their favourite music to be stored on the vehicle courtesy of an 8Gb hard drive. In excess of 100 albums can be saved in this way for the driver’s enjoyment. Four-zone automatic air-conditioning is fitted as standard while, for the first time, the 7 Series can have a rear seat ventilation system combined with massage function. The air-conditioning system feeds cool air to the seat squab and backrest, while 12 massage bubbles gently knead the occupants’ upper body.
For luxury car leasing it looks like the BMW 7 will be hard to beat
