Comfort & Convenience


Dual-glass-panel Panoramic Moonroof features fully electric slide and lift control. Includeds trap release, comfort opening/closing function, a wind deflector to help keep the wind out and an electric sun shade to help shield cabin from excessive heat.



With the route taken care of, you can concentrate on more important things - like enjoying every twist and turn along the way. Our optional onboard navigation system, controlled via iDrive, uses GPS satellites, a digital map and, where available, Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) to guide you to your destination. Choose the fastest route, the shortest route or the one that avoids traffic. Where available, traffic information is received by a separate radio tuner and then displayed on the navigation system. You don't have to listen to a specific radio station, or even have the radio on, to receive updates every few minutes. And you can see everything clearly on the large, high-resolution screen.


It's a simple idea, really: the better your focus is on the road, the more in control you'll be of any driving situation. Our optional Head-Up Display* gives you the ability to see relevant information such as speed and navigation directions, without the need to look down and lose sight of what's ahead of you. The readout appears just beyond the windshield, in your line of vision. It is clear, easy to read, and even responds to light, adjusting its brightness for daytime, nighttime or hazy conditions, so driving is more enjoyable.
* Not available with green band windshield.


Comfort Access system offers an even greater degree of convenience: keyless access to your car. Simply carrying the remote key in a pocket allows you to unlock the doors by touching the door handle. You can also turn the engine on or off by pressing the Start/Stop button* without first inserting the remote key.
*Foot must be on brake or, with manual transmission, must also depress the clutch in order to start.

Life demands flexibility. So we've designed the X5 to be as comfortable for seven people as it is capable at hauling cargo. Not only have we added the convenience of an optional third-row seat, but we've made it versatile enough to fit your many needs. Because the second row acts as two independent seats, it's easy to get in and out, from either the right or left sides. And since the seats also fold flat, you enjoy optimal cargo capacity.
Safety & Security


These self-supporting tires with integrated reinforcements allow tires that have experienced a loss of air pressure to maintain their shape and full use. In fact, you can drive on a flat for up to 150 miles at reduced speeds, so you don't have to stop in an unsafe area to change a tire or wait for roadside assistance.*
* Cars with run-flat tires do not come equipped with a spare tire. Due to low profile tires, please note that wheels, tires and suspension parts are more susceptible to road hazard and consequential damages.


Bumper-to-bumper collisions most often occur when the driver behind you didn't realize how hard you were braking. Our Adaptive Brake Lights help eliminate that scenario by emitting a larger, brighter light the more force you use. It allows those behind you to clearly see whether you're lightly tapping the brakes to slow down or applying full force for a sudden stop.

Image is for illustrative purposes only.
So intuitive, it helps you see things you normally can't. Park Distance Control uses eight sensors - four in the front, four in the rear - to measure exactly how far you are from other vehicles and unseen objects when parking. As your bumper approaches a stationary object, the image on the iDrive screen changes and beeping becomes faster, turning into a constant tone when the distance is less than 12 inches.

Safety & Security
We believe being able to stop quickly is even more important than being able to drive fast. That's why our enhanced braking system does more than just brake. If it's raining, it'll dry off the rotors. If you're stopped on a hill, it'll keep you from rolling. If you quickly pull your foot off the accelerator, it prepares to brake just as quickly. And, if you're braking repeatedly, it knows you need more force.




Our Xenon Adaptive Headlights with distinctive corona rings began as a groundbreaking idea that went on to become a major advancement in safety. Using an electromechanical system, our adaptive headlights follow the direction of the wheels. So as you begin cornering, the headlights turn into and around the bend, which allows you to see more of the road, sooner. Xenon lights, another BMW innovation, help provide clarity by emitting twice as much light as halogen light, while using half as much energy.


BMW's Head Protection System is an inflatable tubular structure to protect the heads of a vehicle's front and rear seat occupants. Operating in conjunction with the side airbags, the system provides front seat occupants with outstanding protection in the case of severe side impact. It helps protect the head from hitting the side window and being hit by objects penetrating the side window.

BMW 750i Sedan

4.4-liter, V-8 engine with TwinPower Turbo technology
400 horsepower Rear-wheel drive 22 mpg hwy*
The 7 Series sedan is both instantly recognizable and punctuated with new style. We began with the trademarked BMW roof slant and the Hofmeister kink in the rear, long hood in the front and short overhangs throughout the body. We then supplemented the traditional look with a sporty panel along the side, chrome highlights, deep-seated handles on the doors, and an uninterrupted shoulder line for a new, dynamic profile. Additionally, the large, trademarked kidney grilles sit alongside updated BMW quad-headlights. All of these bring a subtle new style to its already dominant stance.


Dramatic wood trim accent pieces add style across the dashboard, doors, center console, and cup holders. The subtle intensity of the trim encases an array of technological conveniences, including programmable memory keys, in-dash CD controls, the Black Panel LCD screen, center console shift lever, and the iDrive. Nappa leather adorns both doors and the 20-way multi-contour front seats. Interior design also brings an ambience of well-appointed style with a leather-covered, double-lid storage compartment. Of course, the style isn’t without purpose. In addition to storage, it also acts as a supple armrest for both driver and passenger.
When the ignition is off and the doors are closed, the only hint of the advanced technologies and entertainment systems along the smooth, black panel are the raised chrome gauge rings and needles. When the door is opened, the gap at the bottom of the chrome rings fills in graphically, and the dials and other displays begin to become visible. Once the engine is started, the black panel instantly comes to life. Where before the display’s borders were ambiguous, now the screen is clear, displaying onboard information and controls with intensified clarity. At night, the instrument panel displays change color from white to BMW amber.
If it’s the driver’s job to drive, it’s the passenger’s job to relax. To that end, we’ve made the rear seating more comfortable and spacious than ever. The BMW 750Li enjoys a longer wheelbase and a noticeably larger door to make it easier to enter the vehicle. The interior space is the most generous in the luxury sedan class with a redesigned roofline for additional headroom. Along with ample room to stretch, the rear seats in the 750Li model include an optional 12-way massager to soothe back muscles by producing a wave motion from the top of the back to the bottom. At the same time, six rotating massage elements work in the shoulder and lower back areas. Furthermore, Optional Rear Comfort Seats are not only individually adjustable, but are heated and ventilated to provide climate comfort as well. In the end, the ride itself just may be the destination.
Safety & Security
Optional BMW Night Vision allows drivers to see animals and pedestrians over 900 feet (or 300 meters) ahead—in the dark. Utilizing infrared technology from the vehicle’s built-in, front camera, the 7 Series displays potential road hazards on the navigation system monitor so that drivers might avoid them well before they are visible to the naked eye. In the 7 Series, Night Vision Pedestrian Detection technology distinguishes between animals and humans and alerts the driver accordingly. At a closer range, it identifies their position and the direction in which they are moving. If a pedestrian approaches or crosses the road, thermal imaging technology alerts a 7 Series system to display a symbol in the control panel and, if equipped, on the Head-Up Display.
