The latest release by BMW in its very popular seven series seems to be the best to date – it’s truly way ahead of the pack in its class and is a luxury car with a capital “L” – in every sense of the word.
Power
Under the hood is bigger and better than any previous effort in the seven series – the 750iL boasts a mighty 400 horsepower (which is more than 40 more horses than before) and can rocket from zero to sixty in less than five seconds. Although the miles per gallon of the new 4.4 liter V8 engine are a bit modest in terms of conservation (15 city and 23 highway), they are still competitive among the big boys in the luxury class.
Comfort
The new 750iL is big in terms of power, but the older versions often came under a lot of criticism when it came to the interior. Larger bodied individuals often passed up previous cars in the seven series even though the power and handling were second to none, simply because they didn’t feel there was enough room for them in the cockpit. The previous version of the seven series also came under some criticism for not having the seat adjustments in positions that were convenient enough for a larger person to adjust without a struggle.
BMW has reacted to criticisms of the previous model's interior by improving on the cab's head and leg room space. The arrangement of the control panel has also been made to please the driver.
BMW has truly taken into account the drivers comfort with the new 750iL, taking appropriate ergonomic design heavily into account for the seating to ensure that everyone who takes a spin in this top of the line luxury car will get out with no aches and pains no matter how long they happened to be behind the wheel.
Behind the Wheel
Incredible, almost space age options take the driving experience and the luxury car’s handling to unimaginable new levels.The driver has now more buttons to press for more features such as side view cameras, night vision, rear wheel drive and pedestrian detection.
There is improved anti-roll technology and individually operating electronic dampers to mention on the endless list of advances the car has made.In the wet, the big 7 still manages to do a steady job.
BMW has always been a force to be reckoned with in the world of luxury cars, but even they seem to have outdone themselves with the new 750iL. The look, feel and comfort of this car whether moving at sixty miles an hour down the highway or standing still is among the best of any luxury car made by any car manufacturer – and the eighty thousand dollar price tag makes it a steal when compared to some other luxury brands that are mentioned in the same breath.
