Most Helpful Review

This is the ICONIC Crease Breaker

The rear executive seat experience and the cabin ambience, material selection feels Modernly Rejuvenating. Interestingly Sunroof (Non Openable) blinds fold in forward direction, designed for more headroom at the back. Coming to the center console, it is definitely beautifully designed and looks Futuristically Elegant. The Crystal - Glass finish on the dashboard discreetly houses the Ambient lighting which is fascinatingly intuitive. In Sport Mode the ambient lighting lights up in the M Colors. The glass elements continues on the door trim and this theme is also implemented on the seat controls, gear selector & the iDrive controller. Its Interesting to note that it’s also a flat-bottomed wheel, something that BMW has typically stayed away from in the past. Overall love the implementation of design & skeletonized metal spokes. The All New 7 Series seems to have redefined this Highly Exclusive Luxury Mobility Segment like never before & makes the time on-board (Rear Seat + Driver's Seat) a truly rewarding experience.

Super

Nice and super luxury car. I used it. Till time Super refine engine comfortable interior. Good one
