2012 BMW 7 Series | Review, Price, Specs, Performance

2012 BMW 7 Series | Review, Price, Specs, Performance. - The 2012 BMW 7-Series ranks 6 out of 12 Super Luxury Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 41 published reviews and test drives of the BMW 7-Series, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. For 2012, the 7 Series again offers a turbocharged inline-6 engine in the 740i and 740Li. Up until last year an inline-6 hadn't been seen in a 7 Series model in two decades. And although it's tempting to dismiss it as a pokey model intended as dealership traffic bait, the 740i with its 315-horsepower twin turbo inline 6 is as quick from zero to 60 mph (5.8 seconds) as the V8-powered Lexus LS 460 and nearly matches the power of the V8 7 Series from 10 years ago.

The 7-Series’ interior is loved by auto writers love for its quality materials and a decent suite of standard tech features. The cabin, albeit luxurious, is still not as opulent as some of rivals. Features like heated and cooled seats and satellite radio are often standard equipment at this price point, but you’ll need to add option packages to get them on the 740i. Still, the 7-Series impresses critics with its iDrive system, which is much more user friendly than earlier versions. The BMW 7-Series is also roomy. Ample passenger space is available front and rear, and choosing an extended-wheelbase Li model increases the 7-series’ back seat comfort, which is good even on standard wheelbase models.

2012 BMW 7 Series Price :
2012 BMW 7 Series Price. - There's a version, practically, for anyone well funded enough to lay down a minimum of $70,000 for a four door sedan. The in line six versions are sprightly enough, the twin turbo V-8s have the gusto to pull off triple digit autobahn passes yes, even if you just want the bragging rights. And for those who want to maintain a little more green credibility, the ActiveHybrid 7, with its V-8 and hybrid system, is a particularly strong performer while still earning a 24-mpg highway rating.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options :
The 2012 BMW 7 Series is available in 740i, 740Li, 750i, 750Li and 760Li trims. The Li indicates the extended wheelbase body style, while the 750 models can be equipped with xDrive all wheel drive. There are also hybrid versions of the 750i and 750Li models reviewed separately.

2012 BMW 7 Series Powertrains and Performance :

As with the 750, a six speed automatic transmission is standard along with driver adjustable settings for the throttle response, transmission programming, steering, suspension tuning and stability control intervention. Rear wheel drive is standard. In Edmunds testing, a 740i accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds. The EPA estimates the 740's fuel economy at 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined.

2012 BMW 7 Series Interior and Exterior :
2012 BMW 7 Series Interior and Exterior. - With the current generation of the 7-Series, which made its debut in 2009, BMW has found a way to satisfy its loyal followers, as well as present a design that's a standout in its class. While the previous-generation 7-Series had a tiered decklid (Bangle butt) that had trouble finding friends, along with a number of seemingly overwrought details, the current 7-Series sedans are a knockout, with a much more relaxed silhouette and more exciting proportions.

There's plenty to like about the current fifth generation of the 7-Series. There's a nice amount of wedge to the shape (always hard to achieve in a long flagship), more kick in its tail, and with the long-wheelbase version, another 5.5 inches of rear-seat legroom.
