The 7 Series sedan is both instantly recognizable and punctuated with  new style. We began with the trademarked BMW roof slant and the  Hofmeister kink in the rear, long hood in the front and short overhangs  throughout the body.  We then supplemented the traditional look with a  sporty panel along the side, chrome highlights, deep-seated handles on  the doors, and an uninterrupted shoulder line for a new, dynamic  profile. Additionally, the large, trademarked kidney grilles sit  alongside updated BMW quad-headlights. All of these bring a subtle new  style to its already dominant stance.      

Dramatic wood trim accent pieces add style across the dashboard, doors,  center console, and cup holders. The subtle intensity of the trim  encases an array of technological conveniences, including programmable  memory keys, in-dash CD controls, the Black Panel LCD screen, center  console shift lever, and the iDrive. Nappa leather adorns both doors and  the 20-way multi-contour front seats. Interior design also brings an  ambience of well-appointed style with a leather-covered, double-lid  storage compartment. Of course, the style isn’t without purpose. In  addition to storage, it also acts as a supple armrest for both driver  and passenger.         
When the ignition is off and the doors are closed, the only hint of the  advanced technologies and entertainment systems along the smooth, black  panel are the raised chrome gauge rings and needles. When the door is  opened, the gap at the bottom of the chrome rings fills in graphically,  and the dials and other displays begin to become visible. Once the  engine is started, the black panel instantly comes to life.  Where  before the display’s borders were ambiguous, now the screen is clear,  displaying onboard information and controls with intensified clarity. At  night, the instrument panel displays change color from white to BMW  amber.


Optional BMW Night Vision allows drivers to see animals and pedestrians  over 900 feet (or 300 meters) ahead—in the dark. Utilizing infrared  technology from the vehicle’s built-in, front camera, the 7 Series  displays potential road hazards on the navigation system monitor so that  drivers might avoid them well before they are visible to the naked eye.   In the 7 Series, Night Vision Pedestrian Detection technology  distinguishes between animals and humans and alerts the driver  accordingly.  At a closer range, it identifies their position and the  direction in which they are moving. If a pedestrian approaches or  crosses the road, thermal imaging technology alerts a 7 Series system to  display a symbol in the control panel and, if equipped, on the Head-Up  Display.
