BMW’s fifth-generation 7 Series limousine arrives in Australia with new turbocharged V6 and V8 petrol engines – and with a diesel on the near horizon – priced from just over $200,000 to almost $300,000. The latest Bavarian flagship models embody the company’s new ‘Efficient Dynamics’ philosophy, with more performance and even better driving enjoyment combined with lower fuel consumption and emissions compared with the previous non-turbo V8 and V12 engines. And everywhere you look in this luxury saloon are the attention to detail and technical refinement for which BMW is renown, along with enough party tricks to impress your neighbours. If you don’t mind the styling, this could be your ultimate luxury saloon for the 21st century.
