subject: BMW 7 Series Barrow In Furness [print this page] The BMW 7 series is a full size luxury vehicle first introduced in 1977; it is BMW's flagship model and available only as a saloon.
Since its initial production in 1977 there have been four generations, the 2009 (and current) model is the 5th generation. The current model introduced the ZF 8-Speed automatic transmission; it inherits the I-drive from the previous model albeit an updated version.
Five variants were showcased at debut, the 750Li, the 740Li, the 750i, the 740i and the 730d. BMW offers diesel, straight 6, V8 and V12 motors. An all-aluminium 3.0-litre straight-six cylinder diesel engine produces 245hp (183 kW; 248 PS).
The 7 series is technologically very advanced, beautifully made, fully loaded with equipment and spacious even in the non long wheel base model. The 7 series is available with a 3.0 litre diesel engine which might sound under powered but in fact it is surprisingly quick, smooth and quiet. It is also the most economical engine in its class.
The BMW 7 series in Barrow In Furness is primarily a limousine not a executive saloon or sports saloon. This new version is very fun to drive as well as being a superb limo, as expected the ride is very smooth with little to no road or wind noise.
To test drive and get a feel for the new 7 series get yourself down to your local BMW dealership, there are so many buttons to press so allow yourself a few hours to venture around it!
