The 2009 BMW 7-Series will feature two trims: the 750i and the 750Li. MSRPs
range from $80,300 up to $84,200. These 5th generation BMWs have been
stylistically freshened, received power upgrades and have a newly designed
version of the BMW iDrive system. The "L" in 750Li signifies an increased
vehicle length: 5.5 inches in wheelbase specifically when compared to the 750i.
Both trims feature the same stock engine: a turbocharged 4.4L 400hp V8 mated to
a 6-speed automatic transmission. An interesting feature allows the shifter to
move from its steering column mount down to the floor space. Safety features are
impressive and include standard ABS braking, electronic stability and traction
control systems, anti-skid systems and a slew of airbags. Of course, techies
will be pleased with the state-of-the-art navigational system and the wireless
mobile phone linking mechanism.

the front and rear obstacle detection systems. Throttle response, suspension
characteristics, power steering and transmission shifting patterns are able to
be controlled by the driver with the BMW Dynamic Driving Control system -
another standard feature.
The 2009 BMW Active Roll Stabilization system effectively counteracts body leans
even in the tightest of corners. The new Integral Active Steering feature adds
in rear-wheel steering with speed-sensitive control. Both of these features are
elements of the optional Sport Package.

automatically dim when oncoming traffic is detected, both sideview and rearview
cameras, audible blind spot alerts and lane departure alerts are all included to
make your driving experience more automated and safe.
