BMW is using a technology and innovation workshop to present an initial selection of development highlights which the next generation of the BMW\u00a07\u00a0Series model range will use to set new benchmarks in lightweight design, driving dynamics, comfort, intelligent connectivity and operation.<\/p>\n

The extensive use of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) in the structure of the passenger cell, the rigorous and detailed application of lightweight design and a new generation of engines combine to reduce the weight of the luxury sedan along with its fuel consumption and emissions figures. The comfort, safety and driving experience offered by the new BMW\u00a07\u00a0Series benefit from new chassis technology, exceptional scope for interaction with the car\u2019s infotainment technology and a wider selection of driver assistance systems from BMW\u00a0ConnectedDrive.<\/p>\n

BMW\u00a0EfficientLightweight: Carbon\u00a0Core helps to reduce weight by up to 130\u00a0kilograms<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thanks to the BMW\u00a0EfficientLightweight strategy, the new BMW\u00a07\u00a0Series line-up will tip the scales up to 130\u00a0kilograms lighter than the outgoing generation of models. At its heart is a body structure with a Carbon\u00a0Core based on the transfer of technology from the development of the BMW\u00a0i models. The use of CFRP \u2013 whose material properties lend themselves to use in the passenger cell areas exposed to heavy loads \u2013 increases torsional rigidity and strength. The configuration of the sheet metal elements can be adjusted accordingly, allowing body weight to be significantly reduced.<\/p>\n

Six-cylinder in-line engine from the new generation of power units<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The new BMW\u00a07\u00a0Series model range will be powered by engines including a six-cylinder in-line variant from the BMW\u00a0Group\u2019s latest generation of power units. The new petrol engine with BMW\u00a0TwinPower Turbo technology links up with a likewise further developed eight-speed Steptronic gearbox.<\/p>\n

Dynamics and ride comfort made to measure \u2013 and to the highest standard<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sophisticated, precision-honed chassis technology and additional chassis control systems \u2013 fitted as standard or available as an option \u2013 enhance both the driving dynamics of the next-generation BMW\u00a07\u00a0Series and its ride quality. At the same time, the balance between these two facets of driving pleasure reaches a level without parallel in the luxury sedan segment. The inclusion of two-axle air suspension with automatic self-levelling as part of the standard specification leads to noticeably improved ride comfort. Dynamic Damper Control also features as standard. Its electronically controlled dampers improve the primary and secondary ride of the sedan and sharpen its dynamic attributes. The latest update of the Integral Active Steering system, along with the first electromechanically driven Dynamic Drive roll stabilisation system, contribute to a further boost in comfort, dynamic prowess and assurance on the road in the new BMW\u00a07\u00a0Series.<\/p>\n

The latest innovations offer drivers greater freedom when choosing the right vehicle set-up for the situation at hand: they can elect to enjoy even sportier handling or further optimised ride comfort as desired. In addition, they can use the newly designed Driving Experience Control switch to activate the ADAPTIVE mode. In this setting, the vehicle set-up adapts as required to the driving style and the character of the road.<\/p>\n
