sgCarMart understands the all new BMW 7 Series' drive and tech

We've established that the all new BMW 7 Series is an absolute treat to be driven around in, thanks to its luxurious cabin and numerous entertainment functions. But, as the history of BMW states, a BMW also has to be a driver's machine. The all new BMW 7 Series is a testament to that, and includes many modern technologies that enhance the driving experience.

For starters, the all new BMW 7 Series 750Li we drove is powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 450 horses and 650Nm of torque to the rear wheels. Such figures mean that the car will surge from 0-100km/h in just 4.7 seconds, in complete style and comfort, of course. And, it's not just its potent and refined powertrain that defines BMW's flagship sedan. It's also got a ton of driver's assistance features, which will leave you spoiled.

In addition to BMW's iDrive system, the all new BMW 7 Series comes with the BMW Gesture Control, where you can mute your music by pointing your fingers at the system's sensor, or adjust the volume via circular motions of the index finger.

On top of that, there is also the BMW ConnectedDrive Services & Apps, which give you a whole world of mobility. BMW's proprietary in-car infotainment system has a vast range of services that will link the 7er to the Internet, and more. It acts as your personal travel guide while on the road and even provides the answers to questions from where the nearest ATM is to where you can locate a pharmacy, or fast food restaurant. The service will help you check your flight schedule if you provide your flight number. BMW Concierge Service agents are always on hand to assist: 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

But, the most impressive feature the all new BMW 7 Series has brought to the table is Remote Control Parking, which lets the driver hop out of the car and park it via the BMW Display Key. Remote Control Parking lets you park your car in tight spaces with ease and even makes small steering adjustments for the car to be parked perfectly. Plus, it's clever enough to stop if someone or something gets in the way.

For as long as we can remember, BMW has made cars such a joy to drive thanks to pure mechanical genius. And as the brand continues to do so, creating machines that bring about sheer driving pleasure, it also pushes the motoring envelope technologically. As much as we enjoy cars of the 'old school', we can only be in awe of the German marque's current offerings and what it will continue to develop in the future.
