The BMW 7 Series


The BMW 7 Series is one of best designs from BMW offering superb performance with better economy. It does win sales because of its looks as well. The 7 Series buyer is always proud to own it and rarely has got anything to complain about this car. It is well equipped and engineered as per 21st century driver's needs.

The BMW 7 Series is a superb car to drive thanks to its steering abilities. It features new system Integral Active Steering which sees the rear wheels turn in and out to assist the steering at lower speeds and reduce the car's turning circle.

The 7 Series is a top quality car constructed from sturdy materials. The attention to detail is to a high standard: subtle lights highlighting the door handles, the elegant flipping of the boot at the click of a button.

BMW offers a choice of four petrol engines but most buyers are expected to opt for the 231bhp 3-litre diesel engine we tested. It powers the car from 0-62mph in 7.8 seconds through the six-speed automatic gearbox and can achieve a top speed of 149mph.

Acceleration is very responsive. The gear changes smoothly and power is available quickly whenever required. The petrol engines range from the 3-litre 258bhp 730i which adds 5mph to the top speed to the range-topping 6-litre 445bhp 760i which covers the 0-62mph sprint in just 5.5 seconds and boasts a top speed of 155mph.

Each model comes with a three year warranty. The Reliability Index indicates issues with the BMW 7 Series tended to crop up after around six years and would usually concern the axle, suspension and the cooling system.

The changes to the latest 7 Series include a pair of distinctive new rear lights, and the BMW's trademark kidney grilles are larger. There is a greater attention paid to making the car look huge and appear sporty rather.

Overall, BMW efforts seem to have been successful with the 7 Series.
