As car makers and developers strive to create the perfect driving experience for consumers, it is inevitable that even rival companies will cross paths and respectively stray from their roots. Such is the case with the new BMW 750i, which stays true to BMW’s motto of wanting to create the “Ultimate Driving Machine”.
This latest edition returns to the past by sporting the familiar controversial aesthetics of the Chris Bangle era. The result: a sedan which looks practically identical as the last 7, but with a pumped up wheelbase. It has a longer body, but the sloping nose and sliding back lend to a more compact, muscular appearance. The 750i sports a 4.4 litre twin turbo V8, but BMW has recently announced that a new V12 powered 760 will find its way into shores later this year.
The 750i is a carries both manual and automatic transmission, so drivers will be able to change between gears or let the electronics do the handling whenever they feel like it. Braking under sports mode automatically induces down shifting, while accelerating holds gears after backing off the throttle. Thanks to triple door seals, noise is kept to a comfortable level no matter how you drive.
The steering feel of the BMW is something to applaud, considering that the sedan is a relatively big car. If that’s not enough, the car comes with two side view cameras mounted on the front wheel wells.
The front seats of the car offer great comfort and lateral support, where the driver’s seat can be customized by fitting the side bolsters to your torso. The luxury seats also include a massage mode for the driver’s seat and heating for the rear seats and steering wheel, should you find yourself driving in a cold environment. The distance between the axles spans over 120 inches, which means that there’s an abundance of seating room in the rear compartment, fitting up to three passengers.
Of course, no luxury sedan is complete without its collection of toys. There’s a whole bunch of knobs and dials for you to twist and turn, and the menu structure is easy and intuitive to navigate. So is the new generation worth it? The price is high, around USD $80,300 for the standard package, but if you’ve got that kind of money to spend, then the BMW 750i will most certainly take you for a ride.
