BMW used the 2019 Geneva Motor Show to make the public aware of the renewed BMW 7 Series and the truth is that, despite having only been restyled, this was substantial, with the German model not going unnoticed, such is the dimension of the famous “double kidney” from BMW.
In addition to the (debatable) aesthetic renovation, the 7 Series also saw its arguments in terms of refinement reinforced. So, to improve the interior acoustically, the side windows are now 5.1 mm thick (standard or optional, depending on the version) and the rear wheel arches, the B-pillar and even the rear seat belts have been optimised.
In dynamic terms, the Series 7 features adaptive air suspension, electronically balanced shock absorbers and self-levelling suspension as standard. Integral Active Steering (steering rear axle) and Executive Drive Pro chassis (active stabilizer bars) are also available as an option, all to improve dynamics.
Engines to match
Under the bonnet of the Series 7 there are several engine options, all in accordance with the Euro 6d-TEMP standard, petrol and diesel. Common to all engines and versions, even plug-in hybrids, is the eight-speed automatic.
