A redesigned BMW 7-Series has been revealed with available electric power, augmented reality, and a 31-inch screen.
to be known as the XM, is reserved for BMW's top-end models. The taillights feature a new take on BMW's traditional L-shape, and we're told the sedan now measures 212.2 inches in length, which is 5.1 inches longer than before. Despite the increase, the wheelbase is only up 0.2 inches at 126.6.
The interior follows a more luxurious route than past generations, with the driver greeted by a 12.3-inch digital screen for the instrument cluster which then joins a second 14.9-inch screen for the infotainment, with both units contained in a curved floating panel. There's also an available 31-inch screen with 8K resolution that descends from the roof to provide a theater-like experience for rear-seat passengers. It features built-in Amazon Fire TV.
A cool feature of the cabin is what BMW calls the Augmented View. This feature reproduces a live video stream of the front view via the instrument cluster, but with an overlay of relevant information, such as navigation instructions and even local parking regulations. Gesture control also features, alongside voice activation and physical controls. BMW also hired popular Hollywood composer Hans Zimmer to craft some of the sounds for the new 7-Series' cabin.
The entry-level 740i features rear-wheel drive and is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 with a mild-hybrid setup. The inline-6 delivers a peak 375 hp and 383 lb-ft, though the torque figure can be increased to 398 lb-ft temporarily thanks to a mild-hybrid boost. Owners can expect a 0-60 mph time of about five seconds.
The 760i xDrive features all-wheel drive and is powered by BMW's new 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8, also with a mild-hybrid setup on board. Thanks to 536 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, this grade will sprint to 60 mph from rest in only 4.2 seconds.
