Few cars are revered in popular culture/society as much as the BMW 7-series is, so you can imagine what happens when their top of the line vehicle gets refreshed. The long awaited arrival of the totally redesigned 2009 7-series is here, and like counting the final votes every four years in the USA to find out who the next president will be: the same amount of suspense and excitement went into this vehicle's much awaited arrival. Prices for the new 7-series will probably be around if not just shy of 6-figures...also: the V12 (760) has finally been dropped from their lineup....

Nothing says performance like BMW does, so when BMW built the 7 series, they pretty much knew what people who can afford/purchase a vehicle of this type were looking for. In this segment, the only other vehicles which can stand next to it are: the Audi A8, Mercedes "S" class, and the Jaguar XJ-8. Even the new Mercedes "S" class falls short, and even though the Audi A8 is a fantastic car, it just doesn't have the name...Jaguar's are for looks only.... With a twin-turbocharged V-8 with direct injection, six speed manual trans, rear wheel drive, multi-link suspension, and increased chassis rigidity for the 2009 models; nothing can get in this cars way: great performance is the only word which comes to mind! Of course safety features are also excellent on this BMW. The only engine for now is a new 4.4 V8.

750i, 750Li (extended wheelbase version, longer vehicle) are spacious inside with plenty of room and creature comfort; inside dimensions should be up to par with previous 7-series. This is a large heavy car. (German cars are heavy, this keeps them all firmly hugged on the road affording them exceptional performance)
