The New BMW 7-series links & information , BMW recently introduced the 5th generation 7 series with an array of new technologies, such
as a Side View camera system, Night Vision with pedestrian recognition, a Lane Change warning system, and a refined version of its Active Steering that allows the rear wheels to turn by up to 3 degrees in an effort to improve maneuverability. To reduce weight, the new 7 series will have various body panels, such as the roof, doors, side panels and bonnet, in aluminum. The
car also features BMW's award winning 'EfficientDynamics,' which includes regenerative braking to ensure maximum fuel economy and reduced emissions.
Visually, the new 7 is a much cleaner design than its predecessor.

The rear end is a more cohesive minus the trendsetting but controversial Bangle Butt. In keeping with BMWs recent concept cars, the front end is also much more pronounced with massive trademark nostrils up front. The interior, which is swathed in wood and leather, features all the gizmos you can think
of. Look closely and you'll notice that the gear lever moves back to the transmission tunnel, as opposed to being a stalk on the steering column like in the previous generation car. This particular car is the 730d with a straight six turbo diesel that produces a healthy 240bhp and 4001b/ft of torque - allowing it to accelerate to 100km/h in just over 7 seconds.
