BMW 750
BMW is one of the well-regarded automakers in the world. For each vehicle in its range, BMW pays particular attention to driving enjoyment, which is realized through strong performance characteristics and accurate handling. The lineup of BMW cars starts with the BMW 3 Series. Extremely popular due to it’s perfectly sorted driving dynamics and classy interior.
BMW calls the 2006 version of its flagship 7 Series sedan a midsize freshening rather than a redesign. This year's revisions emphasize engineering and technical details, design refinements and ever-greater luxury features. Launched as a 2002 model, the current-generation 7 Series has been available in two forms as the 745 with a V-8 engine and as the 760 with V-12 power.
The 2006 V8-powered 7 Series gets a new 360-horsepower, 4.8-liter V8 that replaces the prior 325-horsepower, 4.4-liter V-8, that is prompted a model-number change from 745 to 750. As before, two wheelbases are available in regular length, called the 750i and extended length, named the 750Li. All 7 Series sedans have been launched as early 2006 models.
BMW refined its iDrive control system, which has been the subject of criticism, and made it easier to use for 2006. Changes to iDrive include new menu color schemes, enhanced functionality and a reshaped controller. Design revisions include a new power dome hood and a modified twin-kidney grille. All models now have the same enlarged grille. Rear track width has been increased, and interiors now feature American Walnut wood trim.
The 750's new 4.8-liter V-8 develops 360 horsepower at 6,300 rpm, revolution per minutes and 360 pounds-feet of torque at 3,400 rpm. A six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission has its selector positioned just ahead of the steering-wheel rim. A steering-wheel button selects drive, sport or manual shift mode. Shift buttons at the front and back of the steering wheel can be used to execute manual gear changes. BMW's inflatable tubular head protection system includes first and second-row side curtain-type airbags. Front-seat side-impact airbags are installed, and rear side-impact airbags are optional. Active Knee Protection is standard. Active Cruise Control that uses a radar sensor is optional.
BMW 750 has been setting new standards in automotive design and engineering for two decades with a steadfast commitment to bold innovation, precision manufacturing, and exhilarating performance.
