The door-handles are incorporated into the character line, which now takes the form of a double swage line. For the first time, the wrap-around side window frame uses a single-piece element, elegantly incorporating the Hofmeister kink. Air-vents on the front fender spawn a chrome trim strip which runs along the lower edge of the doors. Its horizontal form accentuates the car’s finely balanced look and low centre of gravity. The prevalence of outward-curving surfaces gives the new 7 Series a powerful stance from the side on. The new car has shed 85 kg owing to its carbon core construction. The use of carbon-fibre, steel and aluminium makes the body-shell lighter and stiffer at the same time.
The direction of the double swage line extends into the upper contour of the body and the light strip of the rear lights. This creates a harmonious connection between the side and the rear end of the car. Tail-lights feature LED technology and the two L-shaped light units are connected by a chrome bar extending the full width of the boot-lid. The rear apron features exhaust tailpipes framed by chrome surrounds, adding luxurious details to the body of the new 7 Series.
The design of dynamics and luxury reflects in the interior like the exterior. The interior is of the highest quality as expected of BMW; in fact, it sets a new benchmark in luxury and comfort. This is the first car in the world to have gesture control. You can increase and decrease the volume of the music system or change the track or the radio channel with a twirl of your finger. The display key gives the range of the car according to the fuel level, as also when the service is due.
