2002-2008 BMW 7 Series review
The BMW 7 Series offers a quantum leap into the future through a feast of innovation, an irresistible magnet for those destined to lead by example. The striking, sculpted body styling is matched by an elegant, interior that re-interprets BMW's traditional driver-oriented design and introduces levels of control and choice never seen before. The progressive exterior and interior design combines with the latest generation of powerful yet frugal V8 engines, electronically controlled aluminium suspension system, and a multitude of advanced technologies.
Maximum usability, minimum complexity: iDrive simplifies the control of the 7 Series' many driving and cabin comfort features. Often-used features - windscreen-wipers, indicators, radio and telephone for example - are controlled using levers or keys on or around the steering wheel. Secondary functions - the address book, the navigation system or BMW TeleAssist - are accessed via the iDrive Controller on the central console, with menus and information displayed clearly on the Control Display.
The right information in the right place at the right time - this is the purpose of BMW TeleAssist. Should any difficulties arise, your location is automatically transmitted to the emergency or the breakdown service: the latter relays important vehicle data to the BMW Servicemobiles so that the right help arrives on the scene faster. The result is a 7 Series that resets the benchmark for luxury car performance, dynamism, safety, sumptuous comfort as well as responsible consumption.
The superior and refined eight-cylinder petrol engines with fully variable VALVETRONIC valve drive - now come with even larger capacity than before, develop maximum output of 270 kW/367 hp and, respectively, 225 kW/306 hp, and offer peak torque of 490 Nm/361 lb-ft and, respectively, 390 Nm/287 lb-ft. And despite this significant increase in engine output and torque, naturally offering a far higher standard of performance, fuel consumption remains almost unchanged.
