Along with its bold new snout, the venerable 7 Series range has been updated with a new version of its plug-in hybrid: the 745e.
The new BMW 7-Series remains the choice for driver-focused luxury sedans and the 730d might be the smartest choice in the range.
The BMW 750i and 750Li represent the top of the BMW 7 Series range. At almost $300,000, they are loaded with features, but do they represent value for money in this segment?

While the modern Bond once again has a penchant for British cars, the sixth generation BMW 7 Series in 750i and 750Li is the definition of luxury and performance for the brand...
BMW Australia has updated us on the feasibility study it has been working on with specialist tuner Alpina, to bring a line of the company’s performance-tuned cars here.

Read the article here. BMW has just revealed a flagship derivative of the brand-new 7 Series range, which will serve as its answer to the Mercedes-Maybach S600. The BMW M760Li xDrive leaps straight to the very pinnacle of the BMW range. It’s based on the long-wheelbase BMW 7 Series Li models, but brings a whole lot more pomp and circumstance...
These are two cars that barely need an introduction. One is a long-time luxury vehicle from a respected German brand, while the other is a lightning-fast newcomer from an American brand with a focus on green credentials. We’re talking, of course, about the BMW 7 Series and the Tesla Model S...
BMW has confirmed the next generation of its 7 Series will have an all-electric variant – and that it will be the most powerful version offered. The electric 7 Series will exist alongside petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid models and all powertrains will share the same architecture, according to BMW board chairman, Oliver Zipse...
BMW owners in Australia can now download active high-beam headlight software, and a factory in-built dashcam, through its ConnectedDrive online store. These upgrades can be downloaded onto cars fitted with the latest BMW network capable iDrive 7.0 media system. It's one of the earlier examples of a new paradigm, replacing the ticking of options boxes at purchase...
A prototype electric vehicle wearing the latest BMW 7 Series body has been spied on a trailer full of BMWs. While BMW may be preparing an electric version of the current 7 Series sedan, it hasn't appeared as part of the company's announced electric car roster, which includes the 2020 iX3 crossover, 2021 i4 four-door "coupe" and the production version of the iNext...
BMW has announced pricing and specs for the facelifted 2019 7 Series, ahead of its Australian launch in June.

I bought this beautiful 1999 BMW 7-series for only $8000 with only 138,000km on the clock. I was originally looking for a luxury car as a second car, and I will never regret the buy, as I'm hoping to hold onto it as long as I can. When I told some people that I had bought a 7-series, their jaws dropped while asking, "What, a 7 series?" Styling: the styling of the machine is beautiful and timeless...
The polarising fourth-generation BMW 7 Series (BMW designation E65) was released to public view at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show. A rolling monument to the state of German engineering prowess, the BMW E65 introduced a host of features that can be found on many cars even today, albeit at the time was met with scepticism and even criticism...
A while ago I wanted to change cars and short listed a few, including my now owned 7 series. Why such a big car you ask? Well, it wasn't about the size as much as about comfort and technology. Thing is, I made a check list of features I wanted my car to have, ranging from integrated satellite navigation to heated seats for the cold winter...
When the words, BMW and 7 series are mentioned in the same sentence, two things normally come to mind to most that have seen, but never owned one. Luxurious and technological advanced. So why is it, that I seem to have a love hate relationship with mine, with the latter normally at the forefront. I have owned my 2002 BMW E65 745i, aka The Rolling Couch (TRC), for just over 2 years now...
