Although unchanged from last year, the 2008 BMW 7 Series remains a flagship
luxury sports sedan which will appeal to those seeking top of the line luxury
features in a sporty and spirited 4-door sedan. Shipping in 4 trim levels, the
750i, 750Li, Alpina B7, and 760Li, the 7 Series merits its sports sedan pedigree
by being powered by some of the most powerful, precision-engineered engines in
production, and by its standard rear-wheel drive train. Whether you opt for the
750i or 750Li with its 360hp 4.8 Liter V-8, the Alpina B7 with its 500hp 4.4
Liter V-8, or the 760Li with its 438hp 6.0 Liter V-12, all models come standard
with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The BMW 750i can go from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and can achieve 150mph
(electronically limited). Such impressive performance can be attributed in part
to its brilliant engineering which includes an aluminum block and cylinder
heads, aluminum front suspension and aluminum front and rear subframes. Less
brilliant is the fuel efficiency rating posted by the E.P.A.: 15mpg city and
23mpg highway.
If your commute is at all entertaining in terms of challenging road conditions,
equip your 7 Series with the optional Adaptive Ride Package to put that terrain
in its place. The Package keeps the car level and prevents bottoming out
regardless of the road with the air springs and height sensors. Automatic
Damping Control adjusts shock absorbers to accommodate any road condition.
With an M.S.R.P. of between $75,800 and $122,600, buying a model from the 2008
BMW 7 Series represents an investment in satisfying your two great passions: to
experience the utmost in luxurious driving, and to experience a legend in
driving performance.
