Talking About Automobiles

The BMW performance-luxury 7 Series sedan is up in continuing being the class benchmark for 2008. Among models comprised are the 750i, 750Li and 760Li, which all have benefited from BMW’s innovative performance and safety technologies, along with providing comfort and distinction to every BMW vehicle there is.

Actually there are a lot of features provided for the 7 Series models. For now, I would love to share with you the core values of the models that you might love to know:

• Highly sophisticated powertrains. The 7 Series offers two of the most sophisticated engines available in the world, in the form of BMW’s 4.8-liter V-8 and 6.0-liter V-12. Both engines feature all-aluminum construction, with silicon-impregnated cylinder bores that eliminate the need for heavy cast-iron liners. Both engines also feature BMW’s unique Valvetronic valve-control system, which eliminates the need for a conventional throttle by varying valve lift to control acceleration. The resulting efficiency provides excellent power and smooth acceleration with minimum fuel consumption. Both of these engines are backed by BMW’s 6-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission, which also provide exceptional response and fuel economy.
• Aluminum suspension system. Extensive aluminum in the suspension and brakes reduces unsprung weight, improving the suspension’s response to bumps and other road irregularities. This contributes to ride comfort and, on any irregular road surfaces, handling as well.
• Active Roll Stabilization – reduces body roll or “lean” in cornering, further improving handling and communicating to driver and passengers alike these cars’ great road competence via amazingly “flat” cornering.
• Rack-and-pinion steering with variable ratio and variable assist. Not only is the power assist variable according to road speed; the steering ratio (the number of degrees the steering wheel must be turned to steer the front wheel by one degree) also varies moderately, making the steering “quicker” as the wheel is turned away from its center position. This fine-tunes steering response to conditions, be it on an Interstate at today’s high cruising speeds or maneuvering into a parking space. Note: This is not BMW’s Active Steering which, as an option on the 5, 6 and new 3 Series, varies the steering ratio more dramatically.
• Massively sized, powerful brakes. 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes are dimensioned 348 mm/13.7 in. front and 345 mm/13.6 in. rear for impressive stopping power.
• Generously dimensioned wheels and tires. On the 750s, standard 18 x 8.0 wheels carry 245/50R all-season tires. Optional on 750s and standard on the 760Li are 19 x 9.0 front/19 x 10.0 rear wheels with 245/45 front / 275/40 rear performance tires. The BMW Individual Composition adds 20 x 9.0 front / 20 x 10.0 rear wheels with 245/40R-20 front / 275/35R-20 rear performance tires. Identically-sized 20-in. wheels (of a different design) and tires are included in the optional Sport Package for 750i and 750Li models.
• Lavish luxury, elegant design. With the standard 20-way Comfort Seats on 750 models, the 7 Series becomes even more elegant outside and inside, and discreetly more luxurious as well. The luxury experience begins with stepless door checks – once opened, the door will stay open at any position, not just two or three. The driver is surrounded by innovative ergonomics, lavish materials and finishes, and all-encompassing refinement right down to the smallest details. Occupants enjoy generous space – all the more so for rear passengers in the long-wheelbase models.
• Comprehensive safety design and features. From BMW’s Inflatable Tubular Structure front-to-rear Head Protection System through standard front/optional rear side-impact airbags to Active Head Restraints and Active Knee Protection (inflatable-airbag knee protection under the instrument panel), every 7 Series model is comprehensively engineered and equipped for a reassuring level of occupant safety.
