  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

760i xDrive
The top-of-the-range 7 Series includes all of the 740i's features, adding:

  • 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 (536 hp, 553 lb-ft)
  • All-wheel drive
  • Ventilated front seats

Notable option packages include:

  • M Sport Professional package
    • High-performance braking system
    • Trunklid spoiler
    • Black exterior trim
  • Autobahn package (760i xDrive only)
    • Active roll stabilization
    • Road-scanning suspension (uses sensors to scan the road ahead and preemptively adjust the suspension for greater comfort)
  • Driving Assistance Professional package
    • Front cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is about to cross your path and cause a collision)
    • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
    • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
    • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the 7 Series and the car in front)
    • Highway Assistant (uses the vehicle's advanced driver aids to provide hands-free driving capability in certain highway driving situations)
  • Luxury Rear Seating package
    • Seat adjustments for the rear seats
    • Rear seat ventilation and massage functions
  • Executive package
    • Upgraded headlights
    • Extra heating of cabin touchpoints, such as the armrests
    • Front seat ventilation and massage functions
    • Automatic opening doors
  • Parking Assistance package
    • Surround-view camera system (gives you a 3D view of the 7 Series and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
    • Automated parking system
    • Illuminated front grille

BMW also offers a multitude of ways to customize the 7 Series with different paint colors, interior trims and leather upholstery choices. Other notable stand-alone options include:

  • 36-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system
  • Rear seat entertainment screen

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.
