BMW has launched the 2023 BMW 7 Series and the i7 in the recent Mumbai Joy Town and yes it truly justifies the title. The i7 has the same interior design as the 7 Series. It also sports a curved display for the infotainment and instrument cluster
2023 BMW 7 series M sport : Exterior
The new BMW 7 Series and BMW 7 series M sport acquires a refreshed design not only in the exteriors but also in the interior. The frontal facia, acquires a distinct DRL and BMW’S projector-led headlamps , unlike the previous gen.
Another improvement is the Bigger kidney grilles with a front camera.
In my opinion, the grilles of BMW are Getting bigger and bigger which looks deceptive . .Signature grilles were outmatch. Other addition includes the same body color, bumpers, parking sensors, and skid plates, Further, the material used is also better.
BMW 7 Series gets ” 255 /45 ” profile tiers along with blue M series brake capillaries giving the car a bit more sporty look.
The door handles are a bit more stylish than the standard door handles or pop-up door handles you get a complete rectangular box, and on the inside of the same, you get a button. you do get a button and a door lever. But it is bit lower at the bottle holder
The rear profile gets a revision The refreshed led taillamp has a kind of appealing pattern which is also available on the rear side windows which beautifies the car a bit.
The reverse camera has placed in the BMW logo itself . but the button for opening the tailgate is a bit quirky.
The reason for the same is that you get a foursquare button for opening the powered tailgate that makes the rear look dull . Other minor updates are the chrome finish, led reflector, and reverse sensors. For the elegant look the rear light is provided with chrome
:Interior profile
There is no doubt about the richness of the interiors.
Interiors has improved to give a next-level & futuristic look . In the front cabin you will find a crystal that lights up on different driving mode. Ac vents seem to be hidden .On a closer look you can find them under the crystal .Other controls are located in the crystal itself
This is also available on the doors that flash caution . In case you are about to open the door also if traffic is approaching close to the car. A larger curved infotainment screen and a fully digital instrument cluster with BMW OS 8 is provided .
One thing that stands out is the seat adjustment buttons , embedded in the crystal which looks a a bit futuristic
:Big highlight
The biggest highlight of the car is its screen in the rear seats. I got hooked on the screen.
The screen by itself is 31.3 inches, with 8K Definition and the best part is that it comes down on the press of a button, rotates, and goes back and comes forward according to your preference giving you a fully immersive theatre experience, is handy from the mini tablet placed at the rear doors not available on the front.
BMW’s Theatre Screen will send you any top-flight TV set. A person can even slide the active part of the screen toward where you are sitting. Pre-loaded are Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and YouTube .you get Bowers & Wilkins system for the full theatre experience, and you can close all the rear blinds. Along with the screen you also get a moon roof where the blinds go back.
2023 BMW 7 series M sport :leg space and comfort
The leg space is sufficient enough in the front cabin and also in the rear row but when you are using the big screen, it may be closer or not. Well, this thing is completely in a person’s view. A person may have the impression that if the person in the rear is using the screen, how will the driver manage to see the rear side the clarification to this is a rear-facing camera that automatically pops up. But whether will it work on Indian roads is still a big question. seating is comfortable with the adjustable Ottoman leg rest and rear backrest. A person can kick back and enjoy a relaxing theatre experience. The rear seat is contoured more for comfort. Also, the headroom is decent enough but may become an issue for a taller person ( subjective ).
2023 BMW 7 SERIES :Power terrain and engine
If it’s the BMW then certainly the engine has to be commanding plus if it is an M series then performance-driven. Accordingly, to cater to your want BMW is offering just one petrol engine option in India which is a 3.0-liter, inline-six-cylinder unit which churns out 380hp and 520Nm of torque integrated with mild-hybrid tech and has been paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. and the i7 the Electric version is powered by produces 544hp and 745Nm from its two electric motors which get a battery pack of 101.7kWh lithium-ion battery The electric 7 series can be charged at up to 11kW on an AC system and up to 195kW on a DC.
