Overview
The 2017 BMW 7 Series is a fullsize sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $81,500. For that price, it mainly competes with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Audi A8 L, and the Jaguar XJ. Between 2 trims, the 7 Series offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.0L turbocharged Inline-6 capable of making 320 horsepower and 322 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 455 horsepower-making 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The 7 Series reaches 60 MPH from zero in 5.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.6 seconds with the 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the 7 Series can manage a combined fuel economy between 20 and 24 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 17 striking colors the 7 Series comes in really pull you towards itself.
