The new BMW 7 Series has not yet received crash test ratings from Euro NCAP, Global NCAP, NHTSA, or IIHS. The reason for this is the limited production number and price segment of the car.

BMW 7 Series is powered by a 2998cc Inline 6 engine that produces 375 horsepower of power and a peak torque of 520 Nm. It uses an 8-speed automatic gearbox with torque converter. The top speed of the BMW 7 Series is 250 kmph. The car can reach 0 to 100 kmph in 5.4 seconds. It is the same as the Lexus LS and is slightly quicker than the Audi A8L.

The new 7 Series suspension feels a bit stiff in town. The larger wheel diameter slightly reduces the ride comfort. The steering feel is nearly non-existent, but there is a reasonable response, especially at high speeds. The car offers grip and absorbs most of the undulations over the road without any problem.

For the most part, there will be negligible body roll, although sharp corners will make the weight of the car evident. The cabin comes with sufficient noise insulation. It manages to block most of the outside noise.
