2008 BMW 7 Series Limousine
Another top-shelf, full-size luxury sedan is about to hit the market. The new 2008 BMW 7 Series - a car many would love to own, but unfortunately only a few can afford. The fact that performance, luxury, space and high-tech features are found in great abundance in this car, make it a good choice for a luxury limousine.
The 7 Series has been a solid sales success for the legendary carmaker, thanks to its typical BMW traits of spirited acceleration, communicative steering and agile handling, make it feel like a car two-thirds its size. Contributing to this large sedan's nimble nature are standard active antiroll bars that automatically stiffen to reduce body roll.
The new 2008 BMW 7 Series is a full-size luxury sedan that's available in three versions: the V8-powered, standard-wheelbase 750i and long-wheelbase limousine 750Li, and the V12-powered 760Li. Both 750 models are eligible for a long list of options - the only difference is that the 750Li can be had with ventilated 14-way power rear seats to complement the extra legroom in the back.
The BMW 750i and 750Li are powered by a 4.8-liter V8 with 360 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. The (revised) 2008 EPA estimates stand at a respectable 15 mpg city and 23 highway. The BMW 760Li offers a 6.0-liter V12 with an impressive 438 hp and 444 lb-ft; its fuel mileage rates 13/20 mpg. Both engines are paired with a quick-shifting six-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.
Whether you choose the V8 or V12, either engine provides a satisfying surge of power, while the six-speed automatic furnishes some of the quickest, smoothest shifts ever experienced. Steering feel in the new 2008 BMW 7 Series cars is typical of the brand, with relatively high weighting and excellent feedback. Additionally, braking is sure and swift and body roll is minimal during cornering. While it may be a stretch to call such a large car nimble, it's easy to confuse it for a sport sedan when enjoying it on the open road.
The 7 Series' cabin has the expected opulent atmosphere and a clean layout, thanks to the minimal centre stack controls. The iDrive system was designed to consolidate various controls into one easy-to-use interface, but the learning curve is steep. A large rear compartment (especially in the long-wheelbase "Li" versions) and a well-shaped rear seat provide limousine like comfort for those in back.
