BMW Group has confirmed that the new and refined flagship sixth generation BMW 7 Series will have its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in mid-September. Combining state-of-the-art comfort with exquisite styling, the latest instalment of the sophisticated sedan will arrive in three luxury packages: Pure Excellence, M-Sport and Individual Design.

Consistently amongst BMW Group’s best-selling vehicles, the new BMW 7 Series will set new benchmarks within the segment when it arrives into showrooms later this year. Inside the vehicle, superior technology offers both driver and passenger extraordinary levels of comfort and luxury. A host of new BMW ConnectedDrive driver assistance features include the intuitive Touch Command and a unique Gesture Control function.

As pioneering headlamp technology, BMW Laser Light, shines a light on the vehicle’s unrivalled design as it offers a high beam range of up to 600 metres, double the length of regular LED headlamps. Driver and passengers alike can also look forward to the BMW 7 Series’ Sky Lounge – a panoramic glass roof welcoming them to enjoy the day or star-filled night sky, as illuminated light patterns provide a luxurious interior light ambiance in six colours.

Exuding confidence and power, the new model also comes armed with two comprehensively revised engines: the 6-cylinder 740iLi and 8-cylinder 750iLi xDrive, with the latter accelerating from 0–100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds at 450 hp, and the 6-cylinder equivalent offering an impressive 326hp, with a maximum torque of 450 Nm at 1 380 rpm. The on-road performance of both variants is enhanced through the incorporation of BMW EfficientDynamics, such as the premium vehicle’s lightweight Carbon Core, which ensures that the car is 130kg lighter than its predecessor.
