The BMW 7 Series is an engineering masterpiece. After all, it’s BMW’s flagship luxury sedan and needs the style to show for it. Beyond being a head-turner for BMW, it can also be your creation. This model is customizable inside and out, allowing you the luxury of exclusivity.
The outside of a vehicle delivers its first impression, which is why BMW gives the 7 Series a dozen solid paint options. Most of the color palette belongs to the grayscale, capturing this sedan’s timeless elegance. Drivers wishing to accentuate every curve and detail of the 7 Series can opt for one of these three bold tones:
- Tanzanite Blue II
- Frozen Tanzanite Blue
- Aventurin Red
The inside is just as customizable. Choose from three upholstery options: Veganza, Extended Merino Leather, or Full Merino Leather. Each textile is available in various shades of black, white, burgundy, and brown. Regardless of your choice, you can fully indulge your senses in these supple fabrics.
The divine is in the details, so why not choose those, too? Six interior trims are available, from Carbon Fiber to several stains of open-pore wood.
The BMW 7 Series features an expressive exterior, starting with its classic BMW kidney grille. The front end of this sedan is dazzling when you opt for the illuminated grille, split headlight configuration, or Crystal Headlights.
The 7 Series may be a star, but it treats you like a celebrity. As you approach, the 7 Series rolls out a welcome carpet of lights to greet you. The available Automatic Doors will open and close without ever touching the door handle, serving as your chauffeur.
Inside, you’ll find furnishings and finer details that redefine luxury. Glass controls are at the epicenter of the cockpit, balancing tactile ingenuity and visual appeal. Above, you’ll find the Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof, which provides gorgeous skyward views. At night, its multi-color illumination will emit a soft glow to match your mood.
The BMW 7 Series is the Ultimate Driving Machine through and through. It features several robust engines and dynamic drivetrains, producing an addictive experience you’ll constantly crave.
The 7 Series is available with two high-powered gas engines that are as adrenaline-inducing as they are stealthy:
- 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo V6 engine: 375 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque
- 4.4-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo V8 engine: 536 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque
Rear-wheel drive comes standard with this sedan; however, all-wheel drive (deemed xDrive by BMW) is available, offering a more gripping, responsive drive on wet, slick surfaces. Both engines are paired to an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters so you can take control on the fly.
Drivers who wish to support a greener tomorrow will enjoy the BMW 7 Series 750e. This is the plug-in hybrid trim level of the 7 Series, and it’s a double whammy. It allows drivers to enjoy the legendary capability, improved daily life, and fuel conservation of a plug-in hybrid while generating the thrilling performance that BMW is known for.
DThe 7 Series 750e combines an electric motor with a combustion engine to produce 483 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. It’s standardly paired with all-wheel drive and the same 8-speed transmission. The main difference is this sedan can take local jaunts on pure battery power, thanks to its EPA-estimated electric range of 33 miles.* For the latest model year, this luxury sedan is also newly offered in three all-electric iterations as the BMW i7.
The BMW 7 Series truly shines when it comes to technology. Your comfort and enjoyment are prioritized from the cockpit to the second row. Take your seat in this luxury sedan; it doesn’t matter which one. There’s awe-inspiring technology for everyone to enjoy.
Your viewing pleasure is a top priority, so the 7 Series comes standard with the BMW Curved Display. It meshes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with the 14.9-inch central information display to create one grand panoramic view. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ allow you to pair your smartphone to the sedan and play your preferred entertainment. Wireless charging also comes standard.
The main display works with BMW's most innovative operating system to date: iDrive 8.5. It features a fresh design and improved voice and touch commands, including the BMW Interaction Bar. This bar puts functionality at your fingertips. Remote Software Upgrades happen automatically, further enhancing user experience and convenience.
The BMW 7 Series is one big wow factor, but this next feature is the cherry on top. It prioritizes the rear-seat passengers because they deserve a luxurious experience, too. So, what is it? The optional Luxury Rear Seating Package! It features the following amenities:
- Multifunction ergonomic settings
- Ventilated micro-perforated leather
- 8 massage programs, including 2 Vitality Programs
The real star of the show is the available 31-inch BMW Theater Screen, which has up to 8K resolution, 5G streaming, and built-in Amazon Fire 4K connectivity. With this feature, the rear seats become a space to help pass the time and an executive lounge for private meetings.
Make the experience even more magical with the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System, which features unparalleled 4D audio through 40 speakers!
