Test Drive BMW 7 Series F01-02 Restyling since 2012 Sedan

Test Drive BMW 750LI: the desire for perfection

Almost 30 years ago, a BMW 7-Series car appeared to the world, which became a symbol of luxury, elegance and innovative technologies. That seven who received a nickname shark was created on the basis of the 6-Series stunning coupe presented in 1976.
The design of the first seven was developed by the head of the BMW Bureau of the Marriage Paul. Already serial equipment of the BMW 728 model included a steering wheel control with a servo drive, a double-circuit braking system with a diagonal distribution, ventilated brake discs from the front, a new hydraulic brake drive amplifier and much more.
The spacious salon, an elegant and solid appearance, supported by excellent engines and honed handling, immediately won the hearts of many motorists, and BMW 7-Series began to enjoy tremendous fish demand. In the future, the next generation E32 and stunning E38, which was produced until 2001. For its long-term history, BMW 7-Series received a special character and a large audience of fans. In 2001, the creation of the revolutionary Chris Bangla BMW 7-Series with an E65 index appeared. For its non-small eight-year existence on the market, this car left an ambiguous opinion: Banglovskaya seven split AvtoMir into two camps of supporters and opponents of the upgraded style of the brand. In 2005, the World BMW 7-Series was presented to the world. Facelift came to the yard, and the camp of the opponents of the Banglel seven suffered a loss.
The new BMW 7-Series appeared in 2008, received a completely new F01 index (the long-base version is indicated by F02). At the same time, the appearance of the novelty is not the creation of an image from a clean sheet, but only work on errors, but what a successful! Brightly pronounced branded nostrils of the radiator lattice, the predatory nutrition of the head optics, a muscular silhouette, a clearly defined belt line, this model brought with him a new character. Of course, this is no longer that concise silhouette of the Dobland era of the Bavarian automaker, but how much the new seven has become brighter than the predecessor! It is a fact.
The salon was updated dramatically. Finally, the central console returned to the driver. The auto selector moved to the usual place between the front seats. As a result, the puck of the IDRIVE system shifted closer to the front passenger, which, however, did not affect the convenience of use. In addition, an axle keys appeared around the controller for quick access in the audio system, navigation and various car systems. In general, the new idrive has become much easier and more logical. Now complete climate control can be performed using the buttons on the console, and not wander through the intricate menu in search of the distribution of air flows. The kotroller itself needs only to rotate and press, but it deviates only on four sides, and not at eight, as before. In addition, a very useful return button appeared, as in the MMI system from AUDI.
Salon seven under the luxury class Materials of the highest quality, excellent skin and soft plastic, although the interior of the Mercedes S-Class, where the tree is used almost more than other materials, looks luxurious. The rest of the BMW 7-Series salon is excellent, verified ergonomics, the mass of the front armchairs, including the separate adjustment of the top of the back and side support.
The elongated version of the elongated version is 3210 mm (at the long Mercedes S-Class 3165 mm). As a result, the place for the boss is more than enough. The open door is fixed in any position. The rear armchairs seem to be the most comfortable in the classroom. They can be moved not only in the longitudinal direction, but also move the upper part of the back, as well as control the lumbar backup. In addition, for greater convenience for rear passengers for 133 thousand rubles, an entertainment system is optionally offered, which includes two monitors in the front chairs and an autonomous DVD player. For 38 thousand rubles in the backs of the back chairs, a massage function will appear. Added 97 thousand rubles, the rear passengers will receive an additional climate control system, which includes two extra ducts in the ceiling, however, it will significantly decrease the useful volume of the trunk. After surcharges about 100 thousand, you can equip all seats heated and ventilation. To familiarize yourself with the instruction manual, the BMW has not prepared a multiplocked Talmud, and has sewn an interactive manual directly to the IDRIVE system.
Now at the start. The BMW 750LI test car was equipped with a 4,4-liter 8-cylinder gasoline motor with a double turbocharger with a capacity of 407 hp. and a six-speed automatic transmission. It is noteworthy that the maximum torque of 600 nm engine develops in the range from 1750 to 4500 rpm, providing an even acceleration with minimal revolutions. Gas to the floor and even on dry asphalt, up to 100 km / h on the dashboard, the stabilization system light bulb is constantly blinking, which watches the rear wheels to break into the slip. The machine smoothly and timely clicks its six steps. Well, if the driver does not trust the technique, you can turn on the manual mode and switch by swaying the transmission selector to the right-left.
Acceleration of the 407-strong motor is enough for the eyes. Such a dynamic is enough for confident overtaking from any speed. On the highway, almost two-toned sedan goes like a free, without requiring the slightest adjustment with the steering wheel.
To lengthen the wheelbase without prejudice to maneuverability, McPherson front racks are replaced by a traditional double-tore room, which is used in Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8. In addition, the test BMW 750LI was equipped with an optional Integral Active Steering system (119 thousand rubles), which not only changes the transfer ratio in the steering mechanism, depending on the speed and triggers the front wheels, but also deflects the rear at an angle of up to 3 degrees. Initially, the feeling from the work of this system is twofold: when entering the turn, you expect from a heavy sedan with the appropriate reaction, but it is only worth turning the steering wheel as the rear axle with such an ease of becoming a seven in the turn, as if you are driving a sports unit. Accustomed to such a turning algorithm, manage the BMW 7-Series is a pleasure.
Another optional chip is the Dynamic Drive rolls (162 thousand rubles) rolls with electronically controlled stabilizers. Together with shock absorbers, equipped with separate adjustment of resistance during compression and swelling, the seven turns into a real racing car. We translate the suspension to the comfort mode: from the button located next to the automaton selector, on the new FlexRay bus, there is a signal to all BMW 7-Series systems, and the electronics connects the bonds. A large 5-meter sedan relaxes and brings his passengers with comfort, cursed to the lying police and asphalt waves.
Bypassing the Normal mode, we turn on the Sport settings: the machine goes to low, reactions are exacerbated, the rolls are disappeared, and vibrations from road irregularities begin to the steering wheel. Now in the BMW cabin is not up to comfort, the kayf behind the wheel grows inversely proportional to the feeling of the comfort of the rear passengers. The brake pedal requires addiction: with intensive slowdown, barely noticeable clips are felt. This automatic box in unison with brakes will pose reduced transmissions. From pleasant options, select the projection on the windshield, reflecting the current speed and readings of the navigation system. In addition, a night vision system is available as an option, capable of recognizing a pedestrian in full dark at a high distance. Another pleasant chip are camcorders built on the front bumper sides. With the help of them, for example, you can safely leave the blind courtyard on the road just to launch your nose for an angle. For 9 thousand rubles, a long-term control system is available, which automatically switches the headlights to the dipped in the event of an oncoming car or when approaching the associated car.
The new BMW 7-Series inflicted and added seriously. Moreover, improvements occurred in everything, starting with the design and ending with handling. The most accessible version of the BMW 730D, equipped with a 245-strong 6-cylinder diesel engine with a volume of 3.0 liters, will cost 4,180,400 rubles. The price of the BMW 750Li begins from 5,476,800 rubles. The car, which visited the test, equipped with almost everyone, is worth 7,790,846 rubles.
