Drivers not only appreciate the agile handling of the aluminium chassis with optional integral Active Steering but also the wide range of intelligent assistance systems such as Head-Up Display, BMW Night Vision with person recognition and Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function. The generation of the 2012 BMW 7 Series Sedan As a rule a luxury-class sedan has reached the highest of all aims. However, there is one sedan that is the exception to this rule and which constantly creates new aims to set new standards: the BMW 7 Series Sedan. The twelve-cylinder BMW 760i and BMW 760Li models represent the top of the fifth generation BMW 7 Series. The BMW TwinPower Turbo V12 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. 

The unique sound of the V8 engine in the BMW 750i/Li is instantly recognisable. The BMW 740i/Li and 740d/Ld are classic straight six-cylinder petrol engines. Particularly efficient is the BMW 730d, without the feeling of any loss in power thanks to 540 Nm. The same applies to the long versions (for example, the BMW 730Ld) that, with 14 centimetres of increased legroom in the rear, make this chauffeur sedan the first choice of those who want to relax without compromising on dynamics.

 The eight-cylinder power unit in the BMW 750i provides highest level power and performance while at the same time reducing both fuel consumption and emissions to an even lower level. The V8 with Twin Turbo technology offers maximum output of 300 kW/407 hp. Peak torque is 600 Nm maintained consistently between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm, and accelerating from a standstill to 100 km/h takes just 5.2 seconds. But what are mere numbers in comparison to the unique sound of a V8?

The straight six-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW 740i with an output of 240 kW/326 hp, the BMW straight six-cylinder engine is the most powerful ever. The power unit featured in the BMW 740i comes with the combination of Twin Turbo technology and High Precision Injection exclusive to BMW, offering unparalleled power and performance combined with truly impressive all-round economy. 5.9 seconds is all it takes to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. Engine weight is also much lower, inter alia on account of the all-aluminium crankcase, which naturally benefits the agility of the entire car. Imposing at the front, powerful at the rear, the BMW 7 Series Sedan is a vehicle that exudes confidence. The large kidney grilles emphasize the new BMW 7 Series' imposing presence while the striking shoulder line extends uninterrupted from bonnet to boot, making the car seem longer. The door handles are integrated seamlessly into this shoulder line, creating an inimitable effect even at night.

The straight six-cylinder diesel engines in the BMW 730d, 730Ld and 740d. Sporty performance paired with maximum efficiency: the defining mark of the BMW 740d. An impressive output of 225 kW (306 hp) is delivered by the combination of one large and one small turbocharger, coupling powerful acceleration with heavy drive in the high rev range. With a combined fuel consumption of only 6.8 litres per 100 km and 540 Nm performance, the BMW 730d demonstrates its unique efficiency and confident power in every situation.
The exterior of the BMW 7 Series is 14 centimetres longer than the short version - and all of this is used to increase space and comfort in the rear. The rear door is noticeably bigger, making it significantly easier to enter the vehicle. The interior is the most generously sized in the luxury sedan class, and the roofline and C-pillar have been redesigned to provide additional headroom, for a feeling of greater spaciousness.

The 8-speed automatic transmission Steptronic in the BMW 760i and 760Li. Only the tachometer will reveal how fast and seamlessly the new 8-speed automatic transmission Steptronic shifts gears. The additional gears reduce the engine's rev interval between shifts, so the transmission process is barely noticeable. The eighth gear reduces the number of revolutions at high speeds, tangibly increasing comfort while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

The six-speed automatic transmission Steptronic in the BMW 7 Series Sedan. The perfectly-spaced gear ratios of the responsive six-speed automatic transmission Steptronic ensure that the vast power of the BMW 7 Series engine is transmitted to the drive wheels with maximum efficiency. A newly developed control shifts gears faster, and when the driver kicks down the accelerator, the automatic transmission will shift back immediately by up to four gears. Minimum converter slip and exact selection of gears increases spontaneity and efficiency and the gears can be shifted manually thanks to the electronic gear selector lever.

The body of the BMW 7 Series offers an exceptionally good balance of optimised weight and all-round solidity. The consistent use of aluminium parts has reduced the overall weight of the car by another 22 kilos, 7 of which are due to the replacement of the steel roof. The resulting change in the centre of gravity makes a significant contribution to the car's agility. This is BMW EfficientDynamics: reduced fuel consumption, increased driving pleasure.The camera systems in the BMW 7 Series Sedan. Surround View reveals new perspectives. Two front-end cameras are integrated in the front bumper, one on the left and one on the right, to provide an advanced view at crossroads and on narrow roads. The images obtained, transmitted to the Control Display, allow you to identify any oncoming traffic before it can be seen from the driver�s position. Two additional cameras in the wing mirrors monitor the side areas and also generate a bird�s eye view image of the BMW 7 Series Sedan for optimum vision in tight manoeuvres. The Rear View camera also provides welcome support when parking. Interactive lane lines in the image inform the driver whether or not the parking space is large enough.
