Test drive BMW 750LI: desire for perfection

Almost 30 years ago, the BMW 7-Series car was born, which became a symbol of luxury, elegance and innovative technologies. That seven, which received the nickname of the shark, was created on the basis of the 6-SERIES stunning compartment presented in 1976.
The design of the first seven was developed by the head of the BMW design by the field of marriage. Already serial equipment of the BMW 728 model included the steering with a servo drive, a double -circuit brake system with a diagonal distribution, ventilated brake discs, a new hydraulic brake drive and much more, which works depending on speed.
A spacious salon, an elegant and solid appearance, supported by excellent engines and honed controllability, immediately won the hearts of many motorists, and the BMW 7-Series began to be in great demand for a roar. In the future, the next generation E32 and the amazing E38, which was produced until 2001, appeared. Over its long history, the BMW 7-Series has received a special character and a large audience of fans. In 2001, the creation of the revolutionary Chris Bmw 7-Series with the E65 index was born. For its nearly eight -year existence on the market, this car left an ambiguous opinion: the Banglovskaya seven split the auto -world into two camps of supporters and opponents of the modernized style of the brand. In 2005, the world was represented by the updated BMW 7-Series. Feyslift came to the court, and the camp of opponents of the Banglovsk seven suffered losses.
The new BMW 7-Series, which appeared in 2008, received a completely new F01 index (the long-border 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 one! The pronounced branded nostrils of the radiator grilles, the predatory squint of the head optics, the muscular silhouette, the clearly defined waist line, this model brought with it a new character. Of course, this is no longer the laconic silhouette of the Dobringle era of the Bavarian automaker, but how much the new seven became brighter than its predecessor! It is a fact.
The salon was renewed radically. Finally, the central console turned to the driver returned to the driver. The machine gun selector migrated to the usual place between the front seats. As a result of the puck of the Idrive system, it shifted closer to the front passenger, which, however, did not affect the convenience of use. In addition, a scattering of keys for quick access in the audio system, navigation and various car systems appeared around the controller. In general, the new Idrive has become much simpler and more logical. Now the climate can be fully controlled using buttons on the console, and not wandered along the intricate menu in search of the distribution of air flows. Cotroller itself needs to be rotated and pressed, and it deviates only in four directions, and not in eight, as before. In addition, a very useful return button appeared, as in the Audi MMI system.
The seven salon match the luxury class of the highest quality materials, excellent skin and soft plastic, although the interior of Mercedes S-Class, where wood is used almost more than other materials, looks more luxurious. Otherwise, the BMW 7-Series salon is an excellent, verified ergonomics, a mass of front seats adjustments, including separate adjustment of the upper back and lateral support.
The wheelbase of the elongated version is already 3210 mm (in a long Mercedes S-Class 3165 mm). As a result of the place for the boss is more than enough. The open door is fixed in any position. The rear seats seem to be the most convenient in the class. 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 subpoor. In addition, for greater convenience for the rear passengers for 133 thousand rubles, an entertainment system is optionally offered, which includes two monitors in the front seats and an autonomous DVD player. For 38 thousand rubles in the backs of the rear seats, a massage function will appear. Having added another 97 thousand rubles, the rear passengers will receive an additional climate control system, which includes two extra ducts in the ceiling, however, the beneficial volume of the trunk will significantly decrease. By paying about 100 thousand, you can equip all the seats with heated and ventilation. To familiarize yourself with the operating instructions, BMW prepared not a multi -page Talmud, but sewn an interactive guide directly into the IDRive system.
Now to start. The BMW 750LI test car was equipped with a 4.4-liter 8-cylinder gasoline engine with a double turbocharged 407 hp. and six -speed automatic transmission. It is noteworthy that the engine develops the maximum torque at 600 Nm in the range from 1750 to 4500 rpm, providing even acceleration from minimum revolutions. Gas on the floor and even on dry asphalt up to 100 km/h on the dashboard constantly flashes the stabilization light bulb, which makes sure that the rear wheels do not break into the slip. The automatic machine smoothly and timely clicks its six steps. Well, if the driver does not trust the technique, then you can turn on the manual mode and switch by swaying the transmission by the transmission selector.
Acceleration of the 407-horsepower motor is enough for the eyes. Such dynamics is enough for confident overtaking from any speed. Along the highway, the almost two -ton sedan goes like a glove, without requiring the slightest adjustment by the steering wheel.
To lengthen the wheelbase without prejudice to maneuverability, the front racks of the McPherson type were replaced by a traditional two-widow, which is used in Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8. In addition, the test BMW 750LI was equipped with the Integral Active Steering optional system (119 thousand rubles), which not only changes the gear ratio in the steering mechanism depending on speed and brings up the front wheels, but also rejects the rear ones up to 3 degrees. Initially, the sensation of the work of this system is twofold: when entering the turn, you expect an appropriate reaction from a heavy sedan, but you just have to turn the steering wheel, like the rear axle with such ease corrects the seven to the turn, as if you were driving a sportkup. Accustomed to such an algorithm for passing turns, it is a pleasure to manage the BMW 7-Series.
Another optional feature is the Dynamic Drive rejuvenation system (162 thousand rubles) with electronically controlled stabilizers. Together with shock absorbers equipped with separate control of resistance during compression and hush, the seven turns into a real racing car. We convert the suspension to the comfort mode: from the button located next to the machine gun selector, a signal to all BMW 7-Series systems is on the new Flexray bus, and the electronics unclenches the bonds. A large 5-meter sedan relaxes and carries its passengers with comfort, swaying steadily on the bedridden police and the waves of asphalt.
Bypassing the Normal mode, we turn on the Sport settings: the machine switches to lowered, the reactions are exacerbated, the rolls disappear in corners, and vibrations from road irregularities begin to enter the steering wheel. Now in the BMW cabin is not up to comfort, the buzz at the wheel grows inversely in proportion to the feeling of comfort of the rear passengers. The brake pedal requires addiction: with intensive slowdown, barely noticeable clinks are felt, this automatic box in unison with the brakes encloses low gears. Of the pleasant options, we highlight the projection on the windshield, reflecting the current speed and indications of the navigation system. In addition, a night vision system is available as an option that can recognize a pedestrian in complete darkness at a great distance. Another pleasant feature is video cameras built on the sides of the front bumper. With the help of them, for example, you can safely leave the blind courtyard on the road just just stick your nose around the corner. For 9 thousand rubles, a system of control of high -light is available, which automatically switches the light of the headlights to the neighbor in the event of an oncoming car or when it approaches a passing.
The new BMW 7-Series undoubtedly added and added seriously. Moreover, improvements occurred in everything, starting with design and ending with handling. The most affordable version of the BMW 730D, equipped with a 245-horsepower 6-cylinder diesel engine with a volume of 3.0 liters, will cost 4,180,400 rubles. The price of the BMW 750LI starts from 5,476,800 rubles. A car that has visited a test, equipped with almost everything that is possible, costs 7,790,846 rubles.
