The 7 Series will now be powered by a 400-hp twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. There will be no V6 to be found anymore. When it comes time to put the 7 in Drive mode, drivers will now use BMW's console-mounted joystick gear selector which replaces the column-mounted shifter of the previous-generation model. Menus are now displayed on a larger 10.2 inch high-definition central display. GPS navigation software is now stored on a hard drive, which can also be used to store about 13 gigabytes of music (auxiliary, USB, and iPod interfaces will also be included).
The safety technology ante has been upped with active cruise control that can now bring the car to a complete standstill, allowing it to be used in stop-and-go traffic. Other safety features include a lane departure warning, blind spot detection, a head-up display, automatic high beams, night vision (now with pedestrian detection), as well as side view and backup cameras. Side view cameras are mounted at the front corners and show the images in the control display when traveling at low speeds.
We could write an entire book about this amazing vehicle and it's technologically advanced features, interior luxury amenities, and breath-taking exterior styling, but for you to see it in person will be a whole different story!
