It is your personality that influences people and a car greatly affects your personality and helps to make you more admirable among the people. So, if you are looking for a car like this, BMW 7 Series is the perfect car for you.
The biggest rivals of BMW 7 Series are Mercedes Benz S class, Audi A8, Jaguar XJ and Maserati Quattro Porte. So, let’s explore BMW 7 Series.
The BMW 7 Series is a full size luxury saloon produced by German automobiles and engines manufacturer, BMW since 1977. It is the successor to the BMW E3 “New Six” saloon and is currently in its sixth generation.
The 7 Series is also known as the flagship car and is only offered as saloon or extended length limousine. The 7 Series, in its first generation, came up with powerful straight-six petrol engines and all the following generations have been powered by Straight-6, V8 and V12 engines with both turbo charging and natural aspiration. Diesel engines have also been included in the 7 Series range since 1995.
Performance of 7 Series is first-rate. BMW’s superb 3.0-litre diesel engine proposes 457lb ft of torque and along with a standard eight-speed auto there is plenty of instantly available power.
Not so surprisingly, the more powerful 740d has even more get-up-and-go feature, but will be slightly less efficient.
Test takers are yet to try the V8 petrol, but company drivers might want to consider the option 740e plug-in hybrid. It beautifully combines both, a four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor, and can travel straight up to 29 miles on electric power alone in luxurious silence. It will sprint to 60mph probably in less than six seconds, all the while emitting just 49g/km of CO2.
There is surely no issue of the space inside BMW 7 Series as it 26mm longer than its previous model. It’s the best comfortable car with a plenty of room inside for four adults. A six foot adult will have more than enough space if he sits behind another adult.
The long wheelbase model adds another 140mm to the length of the car if required. The 7 Series is marginally wider but slightly shorter than Mercedes S-class. A 515-litre boot also gives plenty of room but there is no split folding rear bench to boot capacity, that’s actually five litres bigger than the Mercedes S-class.
The grand BMW 7 Series doesn’t only have opponents such as the Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8 to care about – it must also fend off vehicles such as Land Rover’s Range Rover, too. In a bid to achieve just that, BMW has opted to build parts of its 7 Series from carbon fiber, keeping the weight of the car down and therefore improving efficiency and agility.
In diesel form of 30d – likely to be the biggest selling version ever – it is strikingly clean and frugal, and a car that is better to ride down a twisting B-road than many of its rivals.There is also a higher-powered diesel, a powerful V8 petrol and plug-in hybrid version. Inside, the quality of the car is top notch and there’s lots of standard equipment, involving the latest infotainment and safety tech.
Is it really a class-leading luxury car, though? Just go through the next given details to get our in depth impressions, and to find out how the efficient 7 Series competes with its rivals.
Mainly on the UK’s changeable road surfaces the 7 Series struggles its best to maintain its composure. At quite higher speeds, things remain well settled, but on uneven and broken roads at very low speeds it fidgets noticeably.
The BMW’s quite more agreeable high-speed ride, good engine refinement and its hushed cabin mean the 7 Series is a highly adept and quiet, indeed a long-distance cruiser.
Switching the drive mode simply to Sport stiffens everything up. The outcome is good balance and body control, and plenty of grip as well, but it remains detached in the way it somewhat steers and handles.
Considered alongside its rivals such as the Mercedes S-Class and Jaguar XJ, the brilliant 7 Series looks competitively priced, but against the Audi A8 it starts to appear more expensive. That said, just next to a Range Rover, all of these cars look economical.
Among all, the cheapest conventionally powered 7 Series to buy and drive is the 730d. It offers the best ever fuel economy and lowest CO2 emissions, making it simply the diesel of choice equally for both private and company car drivers.
However, the attractive 740e plug-in hybrid is only marginally more expensive to purchase and has range-best emissions of 49g/km making it quite easily the best company car choice – seriously if you’re lucky enough to have a 7 Series on your list of choices, that is. The V8 petrol will certainly prove expensive to run for any buyer.
To end up, it can be clearly said that BMW 7 Series is a car of dreams. With premier body styling, well-built interior and a muscular engine under the bonnet, the 7 Series is exceptionally well to drive. The BMW 7 Series is pretty practical car in terms of space, handling and additional features.
