Test drive BMW 7 series F01 02 since 2008 sedan
And the character is in addition. BMW 750 Li
The notorious crisis can interfere with the business, but do not image those who are engaged in it. However, the new seven from BMW, now the fifth generation, is unlikely to put on a par with expensive trinkets. States contrary to
According to the laws of the genre, drive in such a car, and especially in its elongated version of LI (plus 140 mm to 3070 mm of the standard base), you need to be behind. Rurking, stretching out his legs in a wide opening and continuously chatting on the mobile, or buried his nose into the morning business newspaper, or, at worst, watching the release of news on one of the monitors of the head seats of the front seats. Tame 407 l. With. The V-shaped eight with double turbocharges is not a barbell business at all, and even more so to maneuver in the city stream by car 5212 mm long. Of course, 750LI of such dimensions cannot be solved. You can admire the branded expanded nostrils of the radiator grille, the sophistication of the straight line, from the hood to the trunk, the waist line, the huge rear doorway width with the traditional bend of the hofmaster and the noiseless closers of the doors and finish the sacramental keys to the studio!, Because it is different not to be with BMW. Maybe call it at least three times representative. Indeed, in sporting, inclined windshield, a pair of chrome trapezoidal tips, mulisors provoke to get behind the wheel. However, stepping on the throat of our own song, we will first test the rear row.
We are not talking about any three passengers. Only two will sit down, but with excellent comfort! Despite the chubby backs of the front seats, there is where to put the longest representative legs. They will not flow, do not get tired, as well as the back. I am happy to experience many electro -regulations of the back of the back and its upper part, the height of the pillow, lumbar support. True, there is no massage function in our version, this is for a fee, like the refrigerator behind the armrest. And without them, what is not here?! The main thing is that the Idrive-breathe, which is almost identical to the anterior driver's joystick, will be built into the armrest again at the most important passenger. It contains not only the management of multimedia bells and whistles, but also navigation. The chef tore his voice at the meeting or not to communicate with the driver in the mood? There is no problem, he only needs to set the final point. Such involvement in management bribes. This is not traditional for cars of a similar class of separate climate control, which, of course, is in the seven. This is a real captain's remote control. However, the right to choose one of the four modes of Comfort, Normal, Sport or Sport+ remains with the driver. And therefore, even the most senior owner of the 750th LI is unlikely to deny himself the pleasure of sitting at the wheel. Otherwise, he would choose another brand.
I will wave without looking Bavarians counted on this, arranging a driver's seat no worse than the second row. All the same adjustments of the chic leather to the best of elastic chairs, firmly holding the riders of any physique, solemnly black, extremely informative instrument shield, slightly deployed to the driver, a steering wheel with a mass of service buttons, adjustable in height and departure conveniently, concisely, and even inserts from Natural tree on a torpedo in this verified ergonomics Hi-Tech does not look elaborate. But most importantly, the seven got rid of the steering wheel of the last generation gearbox. Here he is, beloved and familiar from other modern BMW models, a brilliant joystick, which can also be translated into manual control mode of automatic. It is a pleasure to touch him, as well as the Idrive puck and the buttons surrounding it.
To navigate the second business, as well as to see what condition the car systems are in and whether it is time for the inspection. However, he himself will remind you of this as needed. With all the abundance of functions and modes, communication with the onio audio-seeker does not require any special knowledge, in addition, there is electronic operating instructions. On a huge 10-inch display by a huge, by car standards, everything is extremely clear, besides, the Russian language has become a native system. So, I need a route in the Moscow region so it is! Click rather a start and let's go!
TRUST BUT VERIFY!
If the rear view camera (though with the washer!) Today is not a revelation, then two side, mounted in wings, a squeak of technology! The risk of remaining without a long hood when leaving the track is minimal. A double picture appears on the monitor: what is on the left and what is right, although the seven only stuck out a little nose. Motor with a volume of 407 liters. With. With a couple of turbines, even at idle, hearing caresses a barely audible growl. The sound of the BMW engine cannot be confused with any other, it is like a business card, an electronic signature of an advanced owner. But it is worth crushing the accelerator a little, and the acoustic component accepts the ultimate expressiveness. Yes, the 750th is perfectly isolated from noise, even the fairly roughness of the concrete near Moscow barely reminds of itself, not to mention trucks rushing.
The set Comfort mode relaxed the suspension, which has pneumatics in the back in our configuration, and the tandem of the 6-speed machine operates somewhat phlegmatically, imploring the car’s burrows. The rear row passenger believes that, although smoothly, unnecessarily sways on bumps, and asks for other settings. There are no problems, we go to the extreme points, and Sport+ not only presses the suspension, but also exacerbates the accelerator reaction, minimizing the effect of ESP, and the box does not seek to jump up. The slightest touch to the gas pedal, and only have time to throw your leg to the brake, besieging the car to the forbidden 200 km/h, drew in an instant of the eye. About 5.2 from the time of acceleration to hundreds, there is no need to talk. Naturally, stability with such settings is noticeably better, especially in quick turns. The optional active system of steering not only changes the gear ratio on the steering wheel, but also controls the rotation of the rear wheels to the corner to 3. However, you must be a very desperate person to drive a car at a pace at which the presence of an expensive option will be justified, or hire a professional race carrier. However, Sport is designed for a well -trained driver. All the same strict suspension reactions, all the same swift set of speed, only the stabilization system fully realizes its functions. But Normal demonstrated the most complete balance of qualities that arranged both a driver and passengers. You can’t imagine better for Russian roads. The buildings of the body, although tangible on irregularities, are not critical, but the poor -quality coating is practically not felt either in front or behind. Yes, and 600 nm of torque, starting from 1750 rpm, does not disappear anywhere so that the quick and deep pressure of the gas does not respond with assertive dynamics. However, it would be naive to believe that all settings are given to a person. Regardless of them, automation analyzes the nature of the roadway 400 times per second and changes the throughput of shock absorbers, and everything else is only a side dish to the reference main dish, chosen by the driver at his own discretion.
There are several hundred kilometers on the odometer, but there is no trace of fatigue. The huge car was completely not tired of driving either in a tight stream or on a free highway. Turning to the on -board computer, I am surprised to note the very low fuel consumption. Given the many intensive accelerations and braking, 15.6 liters per 100 km is quite a bit. Of course, after the release of the all-wheel drive version of the 7-Series in the autumn of these gentle indicators will have to be forgotten, but the requirements for the driver’s skill will become much more loyal.
