The new 7 Series has grown up – again - and will deliver a longer, wider ride with an extended wheel base. To guarantee a tremendous driving experience and handling dynamics, the Germans did use during the in engineering and assembly process the proven principles of lightweight construction. A combination of re-enforced steel and the use of aluminum will guarantee a most possible rigid body structure and in comparison to it’s predecessor the 2009 BMW 7 Series will have 20% more torsion rigidity. Newest Design The new format of the 7 Series design supports a more leaner and sleeker appearance. The typical BMW Kidney Grille grew in it’s dimension as well and is now looking bigger, standing straight and tall, the headlights having a sharp cut, and the side profile shows a dominant line underneath the windows. The design of the predecessor was known as bulky and nearly everybody hated the look of the trunk. Well, this is now history - thank you so much BMW!! The new and refreshing design for the trunk looks just perfect, with a short and sporty approach. Bulkiness, good bye. Even the design change made in the interior space was drastic. The shift-stick “travelled” from the steering wheel down to the middle console and it does not feel any longer like sitting in a Grand Marquis and shift the car into Drive. The so often criticized iDrive system was completely overhauled and seems to be easy now as 1-2-3. If you wish to have your rear passengers travelling like a real King and Queen – check this out – the rear seats are coming now with airconditioned seats and rubbing your back during a long trip with it’s massage function. Just having aquestion – who will develop the first car with built-in pedicure? Dynamic and Assistance A 6-speed automatic transmission will be handling the “movement” of our 7 Series. However for the end of the year we propably can expect for the 12 cylinder version a 8-speed automatic transmission, produced by ZF, Fridrichshafen in Germany. BMW is using the change of the 7 Series generation to standarize a few more ammenities like a variable shock and damper control, which can change with the push of a button the driving characteristics of the vehicle, the use of active Xenon headlights, active steering in which the rear axle steers as well, night vision system, electronic lane change assist, and an aid which will inform the driver about the current speed limits on the road he or she is using.
