BMW 7-Series 2013 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The fifth-generation BMW 7-Series was all-new for the 2009 model year and facelifted for 2013. The first models to be relaunched include the 730Li, the 740Li, the 750Li, and the 760Li, all long-wheelbase variants as most GCC dealers chose to import only the stretched models. The confusing naming convention continues, with the 740i and 740Li powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-6 engine and the 750i and 750Li powered by an updated 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, although the 730i and 730Li models get a naturally-aspirated 3.0-litre inline-6. The limited-availability 760Li gets a 6.0-litre turbo V12. Badge deception notwithstanding, all engines are capable performers, featuring Double-VANOS variable valve technology, direct injection, and a new 8-speed automatic. The range come equipped with EfficientDynamics technologies as standard, all aimed at improving fuel economy. All 7-Series can now be specified with a side-view camera system, Park Distance Control, two forward-facing cameras, night-vision system, a pedestrian recognition system, blind-spot warning, a heads-up display, speed-related active steering, variable air-suspension damping control, stability control, hill-start assistant, ABS, brake drying, brake-fade compensation, iDrive with larger 10.2-inch screen, instrument cluster with a high-resolution colour display, navigation, 8 GB hard drive, rear-seat DVD entertainment with integrated screens, four-zone automatic air-conditioning, multiple front and side-curtain airbags, optional rear-seat ventilation system with massage function, and other electronic gimmicks. All the usual luxury basics are obviously also included, such as leather, power accessories, sunroof and 18-inch or larger alloys.
