BMW 2007 7-Series is a combination of elegance and superb engineering. This 5-seater was last remodeled in 2002 and it is still considered to be one of the most technologically advanced sedans in its class. Even though it is one of the larger sedans it drives smoothly and similar to a smaller car.

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 self-leveling 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 7-Series come with many technological features that many of us have never even heard or seen of. The 2007 7-Series 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.

Unfortunately this piece of technology can be confusing for many people to learn and because of the many functions it has it does not do a great job of helping the driver to focus on the road. It can actually do more to distract the driver. Yet, there is one positive about it. It operates through a console-mounted dial that talks to a central LCD screen. Because of this it takes up very little room in the cabin.

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.
