There’s a fair amount of competition even in this elite vehicle class, but the 7 Series sedan’s athletic handling dynamics have long set it apart, starting with the early 733s and carrying through to the present-day BMW 750i and 750Li. While other manufacturers have been content to build high-end sedans with soft, serene rides, BMW engineers its 7s to engage their drivers on an emotional level. There are a few recent contenders that have gone after this emotional engagement, but the BMW 7 Series remains the definitive super luxury sedan for people who like to drive.

BMW 7-Series (2011)

Current BMW 7 Series

There are three models available.

The 750i and the long-wheelbase 750Li share the same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive are standard, while all-wheel drive is optional and denoted with the moniker xDrive. The third model, the 760Li, features a 6.0-liter V12 that produces 535 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. It is rear-drive only, and an eight-speed automatic is standard.

As BMW’s flagship, the 7 Series represents the pinnacle of the company’s automotive know-how. It boasts a handsome, spacious interior and superior comfort, with supple leather and rich wood accents adorning almost every surface. Highly adjustable front seats ensure comfort for virtually every body type. The 7 also showcases a wealth of high-tech luxury features such as a night-vision camera and sideview cameras. Some may still find the iDrive electronics interface system a bit complicated, but with use over time, we think the improved layout is an elegant solution to a button-heavy dashboard.

The 7 Series provides limolike interior room — especially in Li form — yet still remains a class benchmark for its handling prowess. The “Dynamic Driving Control” system contributes to this status, featuring four different settings that alter the driving characteristics of the car. It’s complicated and we’d bet good money most folks will leave it on “Normal,” but it should reward an owner who likes to customize their car to their own driving tastes.
There are many worthy choices in this illustrious car segment, but the BMW 7 Series is one of the most appealing.

For the latest model year onward, BMW is raising the stakes with a 535 hp, 6.0-liter, turbocharged V12 powering the 760Li. For the 760Li the sticker price will begin at 6,600. This makes the 760Li the only large luxury sedan in at this price point available with a V12 in the US market.

Compared with the outgoing model, the new 7-Series sedan grows by 5.5 inches at the wheelbase. The European market also has a choice of a 3.0-liter twin turbo diesel delivering 242 hp and 399 lb-ft and the familiar twin-turbo gasoline 3.0-liter inline-six upgraded to 315 horsepower and 330 lb-ft. A six-speed automatic transmission will be mated to the V8 engine, with the shifter moved from the steering column back to the center console.
