Bmw 2007 7-series Review
The 2007 BMW 7Series hasn’t changed much since it was redesigned in 2002. It still has the same simple look to it that speaks of class. The minute you look at it you immediately know that it is comfortable to ride in and smooth to drive. The excellent handling of the car comes from the tuned suspension and steering. This helps to keep the car steady around sharp corners.
Each model is equipped with Active Roll Stabilization that works to stiffen the antiroll bars of the suspension and to reduce body roll. In addition to this the 750i and 705Li models come with the Sport Package that offers firmer suspension tuning or the Adaptive Ride Package which comes with selfleveling air springs and adaptive shock damping.
The latter package comes standard on the 760Li. All of the Li models are equipped with 5″ longer wheelbase and are 5.5″ longer then the standard 750i. These extra inches provide up to 6″ more inches of legroom for passengers in the back seat. Unfortunately with more comfort comes less handling. It is a sacrifice but one that many people are willing to make in order to be comfortable.
As we stated earlier the 7Series come with many technological features that many of us have never even heard or seen of. The 2007 7Series was the first model to receive the standard iDrive vehicle management system. iDrive combines the functions of the audio navigation climate Bluetooth and BMW Assist systems.
The 2008 models will be equipped with yet another new tech feature but one that is sure to come in handy. It is special BMW night vision technology that will help you to spot people that are on the road through a special detection screen. This will make driving safer for those on the road.
