These are the cleverest bits of BMW's new S-Class-fighter
It appreciates nice gestures
Once seen as a sign that a crunchy impact was imminent, flailing your hands around in the air is now encouraged. Do so in the vicinity of the 7-Series’ center console and a 3D sensor registers your movements and interprets them to adjust various controls. For example, unwanted phone calls can now be rejected with a nonchalant flick of the wrist.
It’s been eating its carrots
The human eye has reached its limitations – the 7-Series will handle things from here. At night, animals, humans, or any heat-radiating object for that matter (a smoldering meteor perhaps?) are shown on the central display screen and picked out by a marker beam from the headlights.
It can drive for you
Honestly, who’s got time to steer, accelerate and brake these days? Luckily the 7-Series can do all three for you to varying degrees. The adaptive cruise will now read road signs and adjust your speed accordingly, while the traffic-jam assistant will take over completely in pesky stop-start tailbacks.
It’s big, but it’s lightweight
Using technology lifted from the i3 and i8, the 7’s structure is a medley of steel, aluminum and CFRP. The result is a lower center of gravity and up to a 130kg saving compared to its predecessor. BMW’s name for this new structure is ‘carbon core’. Catchy.
It plans ahead
Entering a destination into the satnav feeds its enormous brain. It passes the information to the eight-speed automatic gearbox allowing it to predictively shift when a hill or sharp corner approach, while in the 740e plug-in hybrid it calculates a journey-specific strategy for consuming battery power in the most efficient manner.
It has highs and lows
A fiendishly complex front and rear self-leveling air suspension system let you raise the ride height by 20mm (up to 22mph) on rough sections of road: hardly an off-roader, but handy nonetheless. Engaging sports mode drops it by 10mm at high speeds for slippier aero and tighter body control.
The BMW 7 Series is a full-size luxury sedan produced by the German automaker BMW since 1977. It is the successor to the BMW E3 "New Six" sedan and is currently in its sixth generation.
The 7 Series is BMW's flagship car and is only available as a sedan (including long wheelbase and limousine models). It traditionally introduces technologies and exterior design themes before they trickle down to other models in BMW's lineup.[1]
The first generation 7 Series was powered by straight-6 petrol engines, and following generations have been powered by inline-4, straight-6, V8 and V12 engines with both natural aspiration and turbocharging. Since 1995, diesel engines have been included in the 7 Series range.
Unlike the 3 Series and 5 Series sedans, BMW has not produced an M model for the 7 Series (ie an "M7"). However, in 2014 an "M Performance" option became available for the 7 Series
