Overview

Written by automotive expert Kurt Niebuhr

8/15/2023

For 2023, the BMW 7 Series has been redesigned from the ground up. It has new styling inside and out. The infotainment and navigation system has been redesigned, and the 7 is now available with BMW's latest hands-free highway driving assist system. There are some significant changes under the hood, too, as both the six- and eight-cylinder engines gain mild hybrid systems that slightly improve acceleration, smoothness and fuel economy. But pour one out for the V12 — it's no longer available. Oh, and BMW is releasing an all-electric variant, though we review that car, the BMW i7, separately.

Other large luxury sedans tend to be of the Germanic variety. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class offers similar levels of modern technology but favors a more relaxed approach to driving comfort, while the Audi A8 has a spacious, comfortable interior paired with handsome, if understated, styling. If you'd like to be a little different, the Genesis G90 features stunning exterior design and plenty of standard features to complement its luxury-forward ride. Check back later this year for our test team's full evaluation of the 2023 BMW 7 Series.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Great

8.2

out of 10

We drove the 2023 BMW 7 Series on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the 7 Series drive? We tested the top dog of the 7 Series lineup, the 536-hp 760i xDrive. At our test track, it ripped from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. There's also loads of power for passing on the highway, though we noticed in routine city driving the 760i could seem a little lethargic at low speeds. But in general, buyers should be easily satisfied with any 7 Series, including the 740i or the 750e plug-in hybrid.

The 7 Series also feels more agile than expected for a car of this size, with powerful braking and some handling chops to go with it. The steering effort is light, but at no point does the 7 Series feel sloppy or imprecise. There's also an available rear-wheel steering system that helps to shrink the car's turning radius and make lane changes more nimble.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the 7 Series? The front and rear seats are remarkably comfortable. The available Luxury Rear Seating package allows the rear seats to recline almost fully via small touchpads on the rear doors. The touchpads also allow passengers to turn on the seat heating/ventilation or massage functions (those can also be found on the front seats as well). The only caveat is that the vents feel a bit underpowered for the fan speed setting you're on, but the cabin still cools or heats up quickly. You also have lots of options to split temperature and fan speed for different parts of the vehicle.

An auto-leveling air suspension is standard across the 7 Series lineup. Our test car also featured a road preview system that can read the road ahead of you and prepare the car to handle any bumps or potholes that are coming up. But like the issues we had with the throttle at low speeds, the suspension doesn't quite sort things out until you get going. From a stop, the car tilts back too far as you accelerate and it creates a swaying motion as things rebalance. While this vehicle rides better than the vast majority of vehicles, it feels a step behind the S-Class and its own stablemate, the electric i7, when it comes to delivering a smooth, isolating ride.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The 7 Series interior can look a bit busy with its screens and crystalized trim pieces, but the finishing and materials all feel suitably impeccable. The available automatic doors are cool and can be opened with a quick press of a button from inside or out. And once you hop into the driver's seat and put your foot on the brake to turn the car on, the door will close by itself. Once in the seat, it's easy to find a perfect driving position that allows you to see the standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster in its entirety. The 7 Series offers way more room than you'd ever need.

Large windows give the sedan good visibility in most directions, except for the rear window, which is a little short. That can get further blocked off if you lower the available 31-inch theater screen for backseat passengers. The screen descends from the ceiling like it's being lowered in by helicopter and it takes up nearly the entire field of view of the rear passengers. It's incredibly sharp. You'll need a data subscription from BMW to stream content, but there's also an HDMI plug if you want to play your own lineup while on the go. And thankfully, the 7 Series' many camera views make getting around tight spaces even with the screen down much easier.

Technology

9/10

How’s the tech? The touchscreen is canted slightly toward the driver, making it easier to reach, which is a necessity given how wide it is. There's also a centralized wheel controller if you're too lazy to lift an arm up. Using this system takes some learning because there are a lot of menus and it can be tricky to find what you're looking for and to set up the car to your liking. Thankfully, the voice recognition system is excellent and can be used to control car functions. That became our default way to find or change things before diving into the system more deeply.

As a part of the Executive seating package, you get a pair of displays for the rear seats (one on each door) that control the various seat functions. Those screens are easy to use, and every function is one or two presses away. The available 31-inch theater screen with 8K resolution drops down from the ceiling, which gives the 7 Series lineup a unique party trick. It's powered by Amazon Fire and requires a data plan from BMW for streaming, but there's also an HDMI plug for connecting a game console or a laptop if you'd rather use it that way.

Our test vehicle also came with BMW's available new Highway Assistant, which allows for hands-free driving up to 80 mph. The system works as advertised, keeping the 7 Series well centered in the lane and slowing down and accelerating smoothly. The surround-view camera system is very high-resolution and offers a variety of camera views, helping to navigate this behemoth in tight spaces more safely.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The 7 Series' trunk is large and has enough space to fit a few pieces of luggage or golf clubs with ease. Interior storage is less impressive. A tiny center console bin and small door bins leave little room for your small items. There's not really a good place to store anything larger than a smartphone, so larger items will have to be left out or in the glovebox where they can't be easily reached.

The 7 Series also makes it a bit difficult to install a child safety seat. The rear seating area is enormous, which is nice, and the lower anchors are easy to access. But attaching a strap to the top anchor points is cumbersome because the tall and wide headrests get in the way.

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? The 740i with its smaller engine gets an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in combined driving with rear-wheel drive or 28 mpg combined with all-wheel drive. The car we tested, the 760i xDrive, comes in at an estimated 21 mpg. We were able to beat that number on our test route with an observed mpg of 24.0 mpg in a mix of city/highway driving. For a big sedan with a V8, this is pretty good. BMW also sells the 750e, a plug-in hybrid, that gets the best fuel economy of the lineup.

Value

7.5/10

Is the 7 Series a good value? It's hard to consider something a good value at these prices. But in the case of this flagship sedan, we think you're getting your money's worth. The cabin's quality lives up to the price tag and it's available with some features (like that theater screen) that you won't be able to find anywhere. Just be wary of the options because they can make the price rise in a hurry. BMW's warranty is comparable with coverage of most luxury brands.

Wildcard

8/10

In the looks department (on the outside at least), the 7 Series suffers. It looks overly beefy in a weird way, with a strangely high beltline and awkward proportions. But once one of those doors opens for you automatically and you slide inside, you thankfully can't see the exterior anymore and instead are enveloped by a high-class interior with enough leather to cover the inside of a private jet.

2023 BMW 7 Series trim level differences

The 2023 BMW 7 Series is a large five-passenger luxury sedan available in two trim levels: 740i and 760i xDrive. The two are similarly equipped, with the major difference being the powertrain. Here's what you can expect from each: Compare the 2023 BMW 7 Series trim levels in-depth.

Which 7 Series trim does Edmunds recommend?

We'd put our money on the 740i because we think the turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine is more than enough to propel the big BMW, and it saves a bit of money to put toward option packages. Of those packages, we'd opt for the Driving Assistance Professional package for the semi-automated driving system and the Executive package for the ventilated and massaging seats and automatic doors, which open and close at the push of a button.

Dream Car

Impressed, 12/30/2022

2023 BMW 7 Series 740i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

The car drives like an SUV, which I love. It’s high and smooth, not bumpy at all. Very COMFORTABLE, roomy and nice looking software once I figure out how to use it. It’s a very luxurious car, but worth every penny. Only con is that it’s very long in the front, which I’m not used to but it has sensors everywhere, so shouldn’t be an issue.
