BMW series 7 

The BMW 7 Series is a line of full-size luxury vehicles produced by the German automaker BMW. It replaced the "New Six" models in 1977. It is BMW's flagship car and is only available as a sedan..

it's the BMW flagship, and this full-size, rear-wheel-drive sedan has always represented the pinnacle of technology and luxury accoutrements in the German automaker's lineup. As such, it's an obvious choice for wealthy car buyers seeking a spacious and elegant sedan with a high level of curbside prestige.There's a fair amount of competition even in this elite vehicle class, but the 7 Series sedan's athletic handling dynamics have long set it apart, starting with the early 733s and carrying through to the present-day BMW 750i, 750Li and 760Li. While other manufacturers have been content to build high-end sedans with soft, serene rides, BMW engineers its 7s to engage their drivers on an emotional level. For that reason, the BMW 7 Series is the definitive super luxury sedan for people who like to drive.The boot is cavernous, so no heated discussions about the girls leaving half their wardrobe behind. There would be plenty of room for favourite toys just in case the weather turned nasty and you could even stock up with provisionsto save wasting time at the village store when you could be on the beach. Bliss.
Much has been written about BMWs novel i-Drive system, designed to eliminate dashboard switchgear. Much of this has been negative, mainly because those concerned dont seem to have bothered to read the handbook. So lets get this straight: i-Drive makes sense. After all, this car has so many functions that if you gave them all a switch, the dashboard would look like the cockpit of a 747. Besides, the current 7-Series features a less complicated version of the system. Many of the more commonly used controls have been relocated out of the computer and onto the dash.
Sit behind the wheel and the main i-Drive functions are controlled by a circular silver wheel by your left hand. You push it towards either of the eight positions of the compass to select all the main function areas like the stereo system, the trip computer, the satellite navigation system, the TV (where fitted) and so on. Theres even a section that tells you just how much life is in all the consumable parts of the car the brake pads and so on and when youre going to need to replace them. Clever.You start the car with a push button and theres the option of changing gears via an arrangement of silver buttons on the steering wheel. Four petrol models are available , the 730i, the 740i, the magnificent 750i that I tried and a range-topping 760i. Oh and a diesel 730d. Whichever version you choose, youll find that the automatic gearbox is arguably the smoothest youll find, either for stop start driving around town or long motorway stretches.The Servotronic steering meanwhile, (ask the dealer all about it) makes for easy handling. And if you care about these things, the 750is engine is good enough for sixty in 5.9 seconds on the way to a top speed of 155mph which, like its boardroom brother, is artificially limited. No wonder - the ride is so quietly comfortable that you do have to keep an eye on the speedometer to avoid any embarrassing attention from the law.
