The new BMW 7 Series range
The bold style of the exterior is evident in the striking BMW Iconic Glow Kidney Grille and the BMW Crystal Headlights with diamond-cut glass elements produced by Swarovski, which produce sparkling light effects both during the day and at night. The Adaptive LED Headlights including cornering light plus matrix high beam, with a range of up to 600 meters and BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling high-beam assistant, come as standard on the new BMW 7 Series. Generously sized surfaces in body colour surround all the design elements of the front end and showcase them to maximum effect. In this way, the monolithic design of the new BMW 7 Series Sedan lends an even greater visual impact.
The monolithic design of the new BMW 7 Series sedan continues in the car’s flanks. Here, the new design language is revealed in features including a character line extending from the front apron over the door sills and into the rear. This fine detail, precise and sophisticated in its execution, gives the sedan even greater stylistic appeal. The new line lends the BMW 7 Series an almost boattail- like character from a rear three-quarter view and imbues it with extra visual length and elegance. The new aluminium satinated exterior line adds to the luxury appeal. The newly designed door handles on the BMW 7 Series are integrated flush to the doors in classical handle recesses, enhancing the clean and reduced exterior look. The rear of the new BMW 7 Series Sedan replicates the clear and reduced design applied elsewhere. The completely newly designed rear lights are a key element here. They extend a long way into the rear end, their slim, elongated form underscoring the broad, sporting stance of the new BMW 7 Series. A prominent diffuser in high-gloss black is offered as standard with the M Sport package and lends a stronger stance to the rear of the vehicle.
The M Sport package adds further sporting accents to the new BMW 7 Series range. It includes as standard the M aerodynamics package, which in turn brings model - specific M Sport exterior design. The M- specific geometry of the front and rear bumpers – a large proportion of which are in high-gloss black – plus prominent air intakes, large air curtains and the rear diffuser are all also included, as are M - specific side skirts and M high - gloss Shadowline with Black high - gloss side window surrounds and mirror bases. Other features include 20 – inch alloy wheels, M Sport brakes with callipers in Dark Blue metallic, door sill strips bearing the BMW M badge, and a special welcome and goodbye animation complete with M - specific dynamic light carpet. All these elements complete the impressive look of the new BMW 7 Series Sedan.
A small spoiler lip in the lower section of the front apron visually lowers the car’s centre of gravity and brings it closer to the road. Exclusive to this variant, is the use of an exclusive graphic – bearing a M logo - to accentuate the BMW kidney Iconic Glow grille. Further BMW M badges are positioned in the Hofmeister kink of the side windows and on the outer edges of the rear lights. The illumination of the BMW kidney Iconic Glow has been made noticeably darker to create an even sportier impression. The BMW Individual crystal headlights Iconic Glow on the BMW i7 M70 xDrive now contains smoke-black crystals for a particularly striking look. The new M exterior mirrors in Black high-gloss with the signature “Seehaus” stripes of BMW M models, the windows with Black high-gloss surrounds and the
black side skirts add further accentuating touches to the flanks. Like the Mspecific Welcome Light Animation, the dynamic light carpet also gets a distinctive look that reflects the car’s M genes. diffuser on the BMW i7 M70 xDrive, particular to that model variant, extends across almost the full width of the rear, giving it an ultra-sporty look. Vertical reflectors at the outer edges of the rear
bumper emphasise the wide stance of the BMW 7 Series Sedan. A discreet M rear spoiler in Black Sapphire adds a finishing touch to its sporting character. Further highlights are new 21-inch M aerodynamic wheels in bi-colour Jet Black with mixed-size tyres and the extremely powerful M Sport brakes with Black high-gloss callipers.
Interior of the new BMW 7 Series sedan
The BMW Panoramic iDrive with BMW Operating System X defines the interior. The BMW Panoramic Vision – with a projection surface extending across the full width of the windscreen, from A-pillar to A-pillar – and the new M leather steering wheel also make a significant contribution to the
cutting-edge interior of the new BMW 7 Series Sedan. The modern Free-Cut Design Central Display has a free-floating appearance and its resolution of 3,340 x 1,440 pixels ensures brilliant picture quality on the 17.9-inch display with matrix backlight technology. The new BMW 7 Series is the first to feature the BMW Passenger Screen, which fits seamlessly into the ensemble of Neue Klasse elements and is part of the standard equipment. The 14.6-inch touchscreen display with matrix backlight technology and a full HD resolution of 3,162 x 1,080 pixels allows front passengers to experience very personal moments without the need for a BMW ID or profile. The BMW Passenger Screen turns dark when the interior camera detects that the driver’s gaze is being diverted to it. BMW Panoramic Vision, the Free-Cut Design Central Display and the new BMW Passenger Screen form a harmonious ensemble. They are complemented by the BMW 3D Head-up Display and the multifunction steering wheel to create a fully integrated operating concept.
The rear of the new BMW 7 Series Sedan transforms into your personal digital retreat, shielded from city lights and creating a tranquil atmosphere. The large 31.3" 8K BMW Theatre Screen automatically extends from the roof at your command, accompanied by cinematic background music. Then, thanks to the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System with Dolby Atmos Sound, you can enjoy a first-class cinematic experience from every seat.
The updated automatic doors with Soft Close mechanism offer outstanding ease of use. Featuring Radar based technology, the first for any brand globally, the auto doors on the new 7 work with never-seen-before levels of precision. The operating mechanism is also much smoother and quicker than earlier thanks to the usage of radar instead of pdc technology. Sky Lounge panoramic glass sunroof can be specified with illumination with more than 40 LED lights illuminating a graphic structure extending throughout the interior. The pattern replicates elements of the quilting on the seat surfaces. Standard multifunction seats and Executive Lounge for the rear compartment provide excellent long distance comfort. Coordinated adjustment of the angle of the backrest and backrest’s upper section, the forward/backward position of the seat and the seat angle allows an extremely comfortable reclining position with a torso angle of up to 43°. Exceptional quality and an extremely cosy atmosphere are promised by the BMW Individual interior with exclusive elements in BMW Individual Merino Leather. BMW Individual Crafted Clarity glass applications can also be found in the newly designed centre console – for the start/stop button, gear selector lever and volume control button.
Exclusive materials in the interior – from leather and Alcantara surfaces to woods, crystal glass and metal accents – create a modern yet luxurious ambience. The new lighting concept inside the BMW 7 Series Sedan greets the driver with a harmonious, immersive experience adapted to personal preferences. An array of light elements generates soft, evenly spread and diffuse illumination with a wrap-around effect, the sophisticated, modern design creating a pleasant and exclusive ambience inside the car. The welcome light animation that unfolds outside the car continues seamlessly in the interior, laying on a neatly composed overall choreography of illumination, sound elements and personalised settings. The integrated cup holder is illuminated, while the integrated smartphone tray offering inductive charging with up to 15 watts of power is trimmed in soft Alcantara and has a magnetic holder that keeps mobile phones securely in place.
