To satisfy all my imagination of luxury flagship sedan, test drive BMW M760 Li

When I learned that I was going to Yunnan to test drive the BMW 7 Series, the phrase on the Internet, "The fun of rich people is so simple and unpretentious" immediately came to mind. Of course, this is a joke. I have to seriously fully imagine what pleasure a million-dollar luxury flagship sedan will bring to its customers? After all, models priced at hundreds of thousands are already doing well enough. How far can more expensive cars go?

When the images of BMW 7 Series and X7 lined up in two rows are mapped to your eyeballs, you will know what aura is. Standing in front of the 7 Series, even if you don't look at its logo, you will be attracted by this industrial machine with an area of ??about 10 square meters, and subconsciously tell yourself: This product is definitely not cheap. The car is over 5.2 meters long and nearly 2 meters wide. You can only have a chance to win a car of this size by spending millions. Whether it is parked quietly on the roadside or wandering on the road, the simple and rough aura brought by its huge size is enough to attract attention. ?

Next, when you catch a glimpse of the proud blue sky and white cloud logo, and the unique double-kidney grille, you will once again involuntarily conclude in your heart that the person sitting inside must be either rich or noble. . Not all dignitaries need to show off their appearance, but when your strength does not allow it, you must have dreamed of what it would be like to drive a car of this level like the 7 Series.

In 2018, nearly half of the world's 7 Series sales were contributed by Chinese customers. The current average age of China's 7 Series user group is only 38 years old. In a certain sense, I think the various design changes of the new 7 Series are precisely to cater to the aesthetic tastes of Chinese customers. For example, the new double-kidney grille is significantly larger than the old model, with an area increased by 40% and the height of the front of the car also increased by 50mm. This is to make the 7 Series more majestic and adapt to Chinese customers' pursuit of luxury. preferences. ?

The new through-type 3D floating LED taillights are about 35 mm slimmer than the previous model. All light sources come from LEDs. The surface of the lampshade is red and black to highlight the L-shaped outline of the taillights. A slim light bar located below the chrome strip, only 6 mm wide, spans the entire trunk and connects the taillights to each other. If the front of the car creates aura, then the rear of the car brings agility.

Friends who know a little bit about cars will be familiar with the interior of the 7 Series, at least on a visual level. However, the actual experience of sitting in and touching it cannot be felt with your eyes. The driver's seat itself is very spacious and supportive. It is quite comfortable to simply sit on. Plus, it can be massaged, which makes for even more fun.

The fine leather, delicate chrome plating and other parts in the cabin are all exquisite to the touch. If you have more personalized needs, BMW can also meet your needs. The 7 Series supports complete personalization, even including materials provided by the car owner.

Of course, in terms of riding experience, the rear boss seat of the 7 Series is the top priority. The rear space brought by the wheelbase of 3210 mm is really exaggerated. It is not enough to push the front seats all the way forward. They can also be tilted forward. There are foot drags behind them. Then you can adjust the boss's seat to a suitable sitting posture. You can lie down half full body in a limited space. ?

There is a small tablet in the center armrest to support various comfort operations in the car. For example, you can activate various seat massages with a few swipes of your finger. During the test drive, I also experienced the rear seat of the 7 Series. In a semi-lying position, I turned on the full-body massage, played a favorite music, raised the car curtains, and the sunlight spread through the curtains in the car. At this moment, the 7 Series seemed to me like a mobile mansion. I looked out the window and I can’t help but think deeply: It’s great to have money. ?

If you are a workaholic who has many things to do, there is an exquisite storage board hidden deep in the storage box in the center armrest. You can elegantly take it out and unfold it in front of you, and place your computer, documents and other items on it. Mobile office is now available.

The sunroof of the 7 Series is also very particular. At night, the skylight will light up with blue stars. Coupled with the beautiful ambient lighting that can be adjusted in the car, the experience of being in the 7 Series at night is great. Also extremely romantic.

Okay, actually the driving pleasure is the biggest surprise for me, because what I test drove was not only the 7 Series, but also the top 7 Series - M760Li. Staticly, the M760 Li is not much different from other versions of the 7 Series, but when you approach the rear section of the car and see the V12 logo, you know that this is a different 7 Series.

The guide price of the M760 Li is as high as 2.428 million. At this price, you can buy nearly three 730 Lis. Are you sure it’s worth it? Not to mention that the V12 engine is currently extremely rare, and it will be even harder to buy if you don't buy it. Even after feeling its powerful power, my inner thought was "Of course it's worth the money!"?

The V12 engine equipped with the M760 Li has a displacement of 6.6 liters, with a maximum power of 585 horsepower and a peak torque of 850 N·m. What is even more commendable is that with the support of the powerful engine, the huge M760 Li can accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in only a short time. It takes 3.8 seconds. On a straight road in the mountains of Yunnan, I happened to encounter a car-free road ahead. I couldn't wait to press the accelerator pedal to the bottom. The surging and smooth power of the V12 engine was transmitted from the cabin to my body. The adrenaline in my body followed the speed of the vehicle. The feeling of eruption is unstoppable.

It should be mentioned here that the accelerator actually has two control thresholds. The trigger point of the second threshold is very late and needs to be stepped almost to the bottom before it can be touched. Its feedback is similar to stepping on a small ball. . I think this two-level setting is to prevent customers from being directly frightened by the tiger-like power. Of course, there are also driving safety considerations. ?

If the car owner is a boss sitting in the back seat, even if the driver is not that experienced, he can easily maintain a high level of comfort in the vehicle. The V12 engine is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual gearbox, and the power released is extremely smooth. Whether it is accelerating or decelerating, it is almost difficult to encounter any sudden setbacks.

In addition to its powerful power, the chassis control of the M760 Li is also very good. Although it has a length of over 5.2 meters, the M760 is very flexible when driving and can change lanes and corner with ease. Even if the high-tech chassis encounters undulating roads on mountain roads, the swing of the body will be very small when passing at high speed, and the feeling of sticking to the ground is super strong. In short, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no trouble driving the M760Li. Of course, you may worry that the model is too big and parking is inconvenient, but BMW also solves it for you through intelligent automatic parking.

Using about two thousand words to describe the 7 Series and completely answer the question at the beginning of the article is obviously not enough. It has the charm to write a book. However, after only half an hour of test driving and half an hour of test driving, the charm of the 7 Series satisfied all my imagination of a luxury flagship sedan.
