The all-new 2027 BMW 7 Series was just unwrapped during a special unveiling event in New York City, including the all-electric i7 flagship models that highlight the luxury carmaker’s Neue Klasse technology. I got to sit inside the BMW 740 xDrive, which is powered by an inline 6-cylinder combustion engine that delivers a 394-hp peak performance — while the i7 50 xDrive and i7 60 xDrive will pack all the same luxury trimmings, but in EV form with over 350 miles of range.
What’s really apparent sitting inside the new 7 Series is that there’s no more driver’s display above the steering wheel. It’s completely gone in favor of a more seamless look using what BMW calls Panoramic Vision: an ultra-slim display panel that runs along the edge of the dashboard from one side to the other.
