BMW 7 Series
BMW replaced the current 7 Series, the saloon larger of the mark, after the summer. It is marketed in Spain since November. Although the equipment is not known in detail, because there are price and BMW admits orders.
The price of the cheapest version (730d) is 78,400 € and the more expensive (750 Li) 108,900 € . So far, BMW has not given the information equipment that will complete series of either option.
Taking as reference the Series 7 cheaper, and without knowing their equipment, you can see that has a price much higher than the equivalent of an Audi A8, and is almost as expensive as a Mercedes-Benz Class S.
Initially there are three engines available in this body, two petrol and diesel, which correspond to versions 740i, 750i and 730d. Versions with gasoline engines may also request a body that has more than 140 mm battle (740Li and 750 versions Li). Table of benefits and consumption of all models.

To reduce weight, BMW has used aluminum doors, side panels of the bodywork and roof. This material is also block all engines and rear axle.
In all versions springs have a system of automatic regulation of the hardness (BMW is called ‘Variable Damper Control “). From series, all versions of battle have normal helical springs, while the 740Li and 750Li have docks tyres with a feature that automatically regulates the height at the rear axle.
Premieres a system of direction ( “Integral Active Steering ‘). That is a system of governance to the rear wheels and “active steering” (desmultiplicación variable) in the front wheels. Attendance is hydraulic (not electric). You can also get the system active stabilizing bars ( “Dynamic Drive”) to reduce the swing. The control system of active steering takes into account the revolutions of the engine, the angle of winks, the transverse acceleration, speed and angle of the steering wheel.
From series, the 7 Series has “Dynamic Driving Control.” This information allows vary the response of the buffer accelerator, the gearbox and direction. There are four programs: `Comfort ‘,’ Normal ‘,’ Sport ‘and’ Sport + ‘, which considerably delayed the performance of the control system stability. In each programme, the system regulates all variables together. Additionally, you can disconnect the control of stability in one way or leave it “winter”, to facilitate condución on snow.

All systems for regulating the chassis and power: “Dynamic Driving Control” (shock, accelerator, gearbox, direction), “DSC (traction control and brakes) and” Dynamic Drive “(stabilizing bars), managed an integrated way through what BMW calls’ Integrated Chassis Management (ICM). This integrated management is possible through the transmission system of high-speed data “FlexRay”. BMW, with the X5, was the first brand that introduced this system of communication in a car series.
Some elements of hardware that may have, and already available in the range of BMW, are warning of involuntary lane-changing, information projected on the windshield ( “Head-up display), automatic connection of camera lights and long rear to facilitate parking.
If you install the browser and system warning involuntary change lanes, will also take the warning function of speed limit. This system warns the driver of a speed limit at all times using data from the navigation system and camera installed on the windshield, he reads constantly signals speed limit of the road if the speed limit has changed because some works, for example, the system gives priority to signals that are in the carretera.El speed limit is displayed on the screen of the dashboard or on information projected on the windshield. The system detects the speed limit signs and so speed limit. It also detects the speed of light signals readiness in high arcs on the road. According to BMW, the reliability of this system is 95% in all EU countries. In countries where there is a different speed limit when it rains, the system notifies the new ceiling is activated when the windscreen wipers.
In addition, you can now have an active developer of speed with stop function and automatic starter, with warnings of danger of collision ( “Collision warning”) and two cameras in the front to see sideways ( “Side View”, such as those has the Corolla Verso) that may prove valuable to leave garages or intersections with poor visibility.
The night vision system can detect pedestrians (unlike animals) and cyclists in the path of the car and warn the driver of that. The detects and represents figures on the screen as yellow. If you believe that there is a risk of abuse, as well as displays a warning sign of danger (yellow), also in the information projected on the windshield if it is available. The adaptive lighting system has new features (among others, adapts to the ambient light or the intensity of rain). BMW says that this system distinguishes movement in the city and on the road. It is not the same danger if a pedestrian into a pasod and pedestrians with the green light for him and red for cars that if moving down a path toward a road.
Also available is a warning of blind spot by radar later. When a car moving towards ours in the adjacent lane, a triangle bright lights in the mirror outer side. If at that time becomes the intermittent to turn toward the next lane by the other car, the warning system also has a vibration in the steering wheel. The system detects distances of up to 60 metres behind the car.
The device ‘iDrive’ command that BMW uses for the driver to make the adjustments to the different functions that are not available through other commanders, has been improved with a high resolution display and 10.2 “touches functions rapid and programmable keys. In this system can also consult the instruction manual of the vehicle. browser is also available with hard drive and Internet connection.

Both petrol engines have a system of two turbochargers arranged in parallel and direct injection. On the 750i is a V8 that provides 407 hp, the 740i is a six-cylinder in-line 326 hp.
The diesel engine is the 3.0 l pressure that used in other BMW models, but with some modifications, this version has a maximum power of 245 hp (235 hp instead of giving in the 530d, for example).
All Series 7 spent less fuel than earlier models and also have more power. Best for consumption are the 740i (comparison chart) and 730d (comparison chart): no other car characteristics with the lowest consumption.
All three engines meet the Euro 5 emissions regulations. All are coupled to a gearbox automatic torque converter and six relations. The gear is located between two passengers (not in the column address, as in the previous Series 7) and is a selector electronic, not mechanical, which shows the progress engaged.
The long battle versions of this model offer more space in the rear seats (especially lengthwise, but also in height) and some elements of command as optional equipment iDrive in the rear seats, air conditioning exits additional four areas with air conditioning, seats and ventilated with massage function, multimedia systems with several different screens and possible connection to the Internet from the rear seats, and so on.
