BMW has set many standards through the various cars it has launched over the years. The BMW 7 series has been famous for its unique styling and handsome looks. Add to this some cutting edge technology and you have a good car to buy. The 2009 BMW 7 Series comes to the market like a fresh new breath, with its refined design that shows the company’s attention to detailing. There are presently two different trims that are the 750i sedan and the 750Li sedan. In most aspects, the car has already been getting the thumbs-up from critics and users. Reviewers like TechnoRide say that “BMW’s 2009 7 Series stands as the new benchmark for technical and driving excellence among cars”.
The promise of more power has been kept by the enhanced, twin turbo charged 4.4 liter V8 engine, which delivers well in all road conditions. Both trims come with V8, offering about 400 hp on the road. There is a certain grace in the movement of the car, no matter what the speed. Compared to the 5 series, the 7 series trims offer significantly better fuel economy and better mileage. The 750Li trim is about 5.5” longer than the other trim, the 750i. Valvetronic technology and the 6 speed automatic transmission help for good ride quality and smooth shifts. The 2009 BMW 7 series can easily coast along at speeds of 150 mph.
1 to 3 LCD displays (industry’s brightest and biggest at 10.2”) allowing internet access, active steering for extremely high (and extremely low) speeds, night vision for steering clear of passers-by, side view cameras for turning around corners with ease, traffic sign recognition, head-up display, lane departure warning and blind spot detection are just a few among the numerous dazzling features that spruce up the 2009 BMW 7 Series. Can we forget the easy grip easy-to-control iDrive controller for navigation, climate and audio? The Dynamic Driving Control is also a standard feature on the 2009 models.
The Sport Package includes Active Roll Stabilization and Integral Active Steering. Assist emergency and concierge service, obstacle detection, keyless entry, adaptive cruise control, and steering-linked headlights are other key features to be expected. For music lovers, the 13 GB facility will be a delight. Satellite radio and mp3 player connectivity facilities are also included. Standard safety features make the 2009 BMW 7 series a safe family vehicle. Overall, the car looks good, performs well and is safe. A good buy if you can spend about $85,000.
