model; hybrid availability
Model changes:
For 2021, the BMW 7-series
introduces a refreshed exterior that resembles the rest of the luxury
automakers lineup. The interior also receives an update which includes
technology and passive safety features.
Model value:
The BMW 7-Series competes against the largest and most luxurious European
sedans such as the Mercdes-Benz S-Class and the Audi A7. The 7-Series is
nearly as nice as similar-sized offerings from Bentley and Rolls-Royce, without
those nameplates' premium prices. The 7-Series offers a much more understated
appearance as well. Though obviously not inexpensive, the 2021 BMW 7-Series
includes impressive levels of technology, power and space. The BMW 7-Series
spares no luxury and no technology to look and feel like the premium vehicle it
is

Model overview:
The BMW 7-Series comes in
several trims, 740i, 740i xDrive, 750i xDrive, 745e Plug-in hybrid and M760i
xDrive. The 740i models are powered by a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six that
produces 335 horsepower, with power sent to the rear wheels or all wheels via
xDrive paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 750i gets a 4.4L
twin-turbocharged V8 engine making 523 horsepower. An 8-speed automatic feeds
the power to all four wheels. The 745e plug-in hybrid pairs a 280-horsepower
twin-turbocharged 3.0L straight six with a 111-horsepower eDrive electric
motor, with a total output rated at 391 horsepower. BMW says the 740e will hit
60 mph in just under five seconds and the car can run purely on battery power
for up to 28 miles. In the high-performance M760i xDrive, the same 4.4L
twin-turbo from the 750i has been massaged to deliver 600 horsepower, while
Integral Active Steering pairs variable ratio electric steering up front with
rear-axle steering. BMW claims a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds from the M760i
xDrive.
The BMW 7-Series is replete with impressive
technology. The grille features active aerodynamic fins that automatically open
when cooling required or close to maximize fuel economy. Auto-leveling air
suspension is standard on the 7-Series. Drivers may modify suspension settings
on the fly to provide improved feel and response or to soften and gain comfort
as the road and driving conditions permit. The all-digital touchscreen interface
now responds to gesture commands as well as the conventional voice commands or
BMW's iDrive controller.
Standard features on the 740i are as plentiful as would be expected on a
luxury sedan at this price. LED headlights and fog lamps are standard, as is
BMW's intelligent Display Key, with a touchscreen fob that reports various
information about the car. Eighteen-inch alloy wheels are standard as are
heated and power folding side mirrors, plus heated leather seating and heated
armrests. The interior features wood trim, a Harman/Kardon 600-watt 16-speaker
sound system with a 10-inch touchscreen that integrates navigation and a drive
recorder. A year-long subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio is also
included. Automatic 4-zone climate control, dynamic cruise control, a power
opening and closing trunk, a panoramic moonroof, rain sensing windshield
wipers, park distance control (both front and rear) and wireless charging are
also included as standard. The 740i and 745e are similarly equipped but add
BMW's sure-footed all-wheel-drive system.
Options on the 7-Series include an Executive Package, with vented and
massaging front seats, an Autobahn Package, with more suspension and steering,
and an M-Sport Package that offers unique badging and styling cues for a more
performance-oriented look. Rear-seat enhancement packages are also available
that can add such features as massaging and reclining rear seats with footrest
and a rear seat entertainment system that comes with its own 7-inch tablet. M
Sport brakes and remote-controlled parking are also available.
