Power and passion.
Much has been written about the majesty of the engines of the BMW 7 Series Sedan. A few words capture the essence: they are the world's most advanced production engines. Take the breath-taking performance of the all-new BMW power unit. Add to this the incredible efficiency of the new Valvetronic variable valve lift system and the versatility and generous power of Double Vanos. Control it with the serial six-speed automatic transmission system, complete with integrated Steptronic shift-by-wire technology. The result is an unsurpassed driving experience.

The eight-cylinder petrol engines.
This new 360-hp engine incorporates Valvetronic technology, which lets the engine “breathe” by varying valve lift. This helps increase its efficiency at “low-load” operation and improves throttle response.

Dynamic to the core.
The BMW 7 Series is the unique convergence of premium-limousine luxury and sports-car dynamic agility. Together with the precisely-tuned suspension and the wider rear axle, the aluminium chassis of the 7 Series contributes to its astoundingly light-footed handling and razor-sharp steering behaviour. Even on winding roads, the chassis's intelligent control systems ensure that every journey in the flagship sedan is a uniquely comfortable one.

Always under control.
For greater safety and for greater driving pleasure: Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), an electronic chassis control system, is a standard feature of the BMW 7 Series. It constantly monitors the behaviour of the chassis and wheels. When it detects the threat of traction loss, it reduces drive power and applies precisely-measured braking pressure to individual wheels. Skidding is prevented before it can start, as within milliseconds, the BMW 7 Series is stabilised.
