2016 BMW 750Li Reviews

It's a good time to be rich. well actually it's always a good time to be rich but for those high paid executives of the world. There's never been a better time to own a large extended wheelbase luxury sedan. A few years ago in the mercedes-benz s-class really changed the game with new levels of refinement and luxury. Well now it's BMWs time to respond with an all-new 7 Series, and respond did they ever.

The new 7 Series is available with six eight or soon even 12 cylinders. All of them are turbocharged and send gobs of power through an 8-speed automatic. In the 750 I like I'm driving here, power sent to all four wheels from a 4.4 liter v8 that makes 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. Despite having a total length that's over 206 inches long and a curb weight that's over 4,600 pounds the 750i X Drive can accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 4 points. It's deceiving how quickly power builds in this car. I don't even know how fast I'm going until they see the readout on the massive head-up display. Smooth and supple is the best way to describe the 7 Series ride. The adjustable air suspension is so good at dealing with road imperfections. It plays tricks on your mind. Look here I see a giant crack coming and didn't even feel that.

The 7 series is a big car and it drives that way. But even for a vehicle this large it still handles pretty well. BMW has the dynamics nailed even in a barge like this, but enough about driving. The back of the seventh series is the place to be especially when it comes equipped with the executive lounge seating package like I am in right now. It transforms the back of the 7 Series into a first-class airline cabin for starters I have a fully power adjustable seat. It's heated ventilated and can even be set through one of several massage settings. Heck I can even go through BMWs vitality exercise program. That uses the seat massagers and the rear screen to do a little workout routine. And for maximum comfort the right side rear seat turns into lounge mode like this.

The front seat powers all the way to the front the seat itself reclines and a footrest even deploys for ultimate lounging. I shouldn't be expected for any big shot getting chauffeured back here I can control most of the cars functions using the screen here in the center console.: Seats climate, vehicle settings, navigation they can all be controlled through this touchscreen. And it's sitting up to use this screen is a little too much effort. I have a remote control and can control all those functions through either of the rear display screens as well. And I think it's a little stuffy in here I can spray out a little bit of a scent using one of the two built-in authorizers in the vehicle. I can also change all of the ambient colors and there's even soft lights built into the door here. So I can have a little more light at night while the driver remains in darkness in the front.

And speaking of night both moonroof are filled with little LED lights that also change color when you change the ambient color to give you a starry sky, green, blue, orange ,violet, whatever make the moon roof whatever color you want. But back to daytime if the heat from the Sun or the paparazzi gets a little too much there is shades built into all the windows back here as you can see I already have some up. So you get a little more privacy and stay cool. Now how about a little bit of online surfing using the 7-series built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Best of all this little seven inch screen here is actually a tablet that I can remove.

All right time to set a high score on candy Birds or angry friend words. but all about technological wizardry is not just reserved for me in the back. the driver gets to play with a lot of cool gadgets. There's night vision active steering adaptive cruise control and BMWs gesture controls for basic infotainment operations. And they get to walk around with this cool display key. That has pages and pages of information about the vehicle that allows you to lock and unlock it from virtually anywhere. And those worried about recharging the key well there's a pocket port in the center console that wirelessly recharges it at all times. The new 7 Series is a technological wonder on wheels that is quite comfortable luxurious and fast.
