BMW 7 Series Specs & Features

The new BMW 7 Series adopts a ‘monolithic’ design language under the Neue Klasse philosophy.

A new passenger display is offered as standard, enhancing the front-seat experience. Rear-seat occupants benefit from a 31.3-inch 8K Theatre Screen, transforming the cabin into an entertainment or productivity space with integrated video conferencing capability.

The audio system includes an optional 35-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound setup with 4D audio and Dolby Atmos support. Ambient lighting is integrated across the dashboard and roof through a coordinated system that works alongside the Sky Lounge panoramic roof.

Comfort features include highly adjustable rear seats with up to 43 degrees of recline, integrated leg rests, and massage functions.
