India Cars

BMW launched 7 Series with styling that still is controversial, with unusual looking front and rear ends. The first model is 2006 BMW 745i, which is lavishly upholstered, trim and equipped, although its highlight is the high-tech V12. The smooth new 6-liter engine produces 438 horsepower and massive torque. The car weighs a hefty 4,872 pounds, but the V12 gives it the response of a smaller, lighter car. The anybody’s steel components have been treated to resist corrosion. However, the engine hood and front fenders are made of aluminum. It has been built on the new E65-E66 platform which has the advantage of offering almost perfect front/rear weight distribution.

Most of the suspension components are made of aluminum to maximize weight reduction. The fully independent suspension is based on front struts and a rear four-link axle with anti-drive and anti-pitch controls.

The front and rear stabilizer bars of new 2006 BMW 745i contribute to canceling out roll because they are counter-activated by a hydraulic motor.

Buyers may also select the optional Electronic Damping Control (EDC) system designed to vary the firmness of the shock absorbers to ensure the correct balance between comfort and handling. Four power-assisted ventilated discs are assisted by an antilock and traction control system integrated in the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system which manages handling as well as brake pressure in emergency situations. This highly evolved technology ensures neutral handling in curves and reacts when the driver makes a false plot or when dictated by the quality of the road surface. Although new 2006 BMW 745i carries over the same displacement, the engine is brand new. This V8 features an alloy block and cylinder heads, DOHC distribution and 4 valves per cylinder. The VANOS distribution system is innovative. The German equivalent of VTEC technology, it varies the intake and exhaust valve timing by adjusting the camshaft.

This technology is paired up to the VALVETRONIC system, which controls the intake valves without a throttle butterfly. Fuel injection and ignition are managed by a Bosch Motronic ME9 module. The 6-speed automatic transmission is electronically controlled and features a semi-automatic mode. This adaptive transmission shifts gears according to road conditions or driving habits. The 2006 BMW 745i cars are large, with even the base 745i having a 117.7-inch wheelbase. But the longer-wheelbase versions have limousine-style back seat room and look more impressive. The 2006 BMW 745i have a 123.2-inch wheelbase and are 203.5 inches long, compared with 198 inches for the 745i. Is the V12 needed? Not really, unless an owner wants bragging rights or lives near wide-open Southwestern highways. The V8 whisks the 7-Series sedan to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, whereas the V12 version hits 60 in 5.4 seconds. Top speed of both versions is electronically limited to 149 mph.

Its powerful engine, amazingly responsive six-speed automatic transmission, magic-carpet ride quality, brilliant handling, and awesome brakes deliver the ultimate in driver control. No matter where you sit, its interior is beautiful and wonderfully comfortable. A longer 745Li model is available for even greater legroom in the back seats. The best-sounding stereo we have ever experienced is available for this car. The cabin is whisper quiet, a great place for quiet conversation, listening to music or solitude. A plethora of features ensure travel will never be dull.

The BMW 745i offer stunning styling and a fresh approach to ergonomics that have sparked controversy among the automotive media. The styling is well thought out, however, and we think it deserves to be given time and consideration before being dismissed. We are growing to appreciate it.

Driving BMW 745i is fun and easy, however, as the car quickly and efficiently achieves any of the driver’s wishes, even bending the laws of physics when necessary. In addition to its brilliant performance, this is probably among the safest cars on the road.

This car stretches the bounds of driving technology to new horizons. You’ll need to read the owner’s manual to fully master all of them, though that’s not necessary to enjoy this car. It is conceivable, however, that some owners may tire of telling valets how to start the car, release the parking brake, put it in drive, and put it back in park.
