2011 BMW 7 series Saloon Overview
The BMW 7 series is a full-size luxury sedan that competes with top-line sedans like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and Jaguar XJ. The 7 Series lineup spread outs for 2011 with the accumulation of ActiveHybrid 750i and 750Li models, the Alpina B7 and the reinstated 740i and 740Li, now powered by a twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine. The ActiveHybrid 750 models have lithium-ion batteries, which power an electric motor that assists the V-8 during acceleration. The engine lineup includes a 315-horsepower, 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder for the 740 models; a 4.4-liter V-8 for the 750, Alpina B7 and ActiveHybrid models; and a 6.0-liter V-12 with 535 hp for the 760i. The V-8 produces 400 hp in the 750, 440 hp in the ActiveHybrid and 500 hp in the Alpina B7.
2011 BMW 7 Series Saloon
All engines have twin turbochargers. Up to five passengers can sit inside the 7 Series. A range of entertainment and luxury features is available. BMW’s iDrive system, which controls the navigation system, climate control, stereo, and other functions, was revised in current years to make it more user-friendly. The latest 7 Series takes on more traditional styling than previous series. It’s also a bit bigger. The optional M Sport Package augments the exterior with more insistent lower bodywork, 19-inch wheels and darker Shadowline door and window trim. BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive can propel up to 80 percent of power to the rear wheels if needed, keeping acceleration and handling traits alike to those of the rear-wheel-drive 7 Series. The V-8 7 Series comes in standard and extended lengths with rear- or all-wheel drive and in 13 different versions, including new hybrid models and Alpina B7 versions.
