BMW's 7 Series charges into the electric age with new flagship, fully electrified model lineup, massive rear entertainment screen. Expected Q4 2022 Singapore launch. [embed]https://youtu.be/wi-8WSsiWQM[/embed] Munich, Germany — BMW has revealed the next iteration of its flagship luxury limousine, with the seventh-generation of the 7 Series. For the first time in 7 Series history, it will be spearheaded by a...

Nowhere is the need for emissions reduction needed more than in large, luxury limos like the 7 Series, so it's no surprise that no version of the new 7 Series isn't electrified.

Notably, we see that the 7 Series will have no 12-cylinder model for the first time, with the previous M760Li packing a 6.0-litre turbo V12 now evolved into the M760e PHEV which has a 4.4-litre turbo V8. The i7's chief rival — the Mercedes-EQ EQS popped up early in Singapore. Kim shows you its 56-inch Hyperscreen:The i7 uses 400V electrical architecture, since it's based on BMW's very efficient fifth-gen drive tech, which allows fast charging at rates of up to 195kW. Regular charging is done at 11kW, which means around 10 hours for a full charge at home, and 31 minutes for a 10 to 80 per cent charge at the maximum DC fast charge rate.

The 7 Series takes lessons from the iX, with the same crystal-themed hardware on the seat adjusters and the iDrive controller, but goes extra high with the crystal meth theme. As a luxury limo with chauffeur possibilities, BMW aimed to deliver the 'most immersive/cinematic experience for rear seat entertainment'. To that end, there's the BMW Theatre Screen, a 31-inch, 8k touchscreen display that folds into the roof of the vehicle when not in use.

There are now BMW's 'My Modes' for the rear, which can shift from 'Relax' mode to 'Expressive' with a matching Hans Zimmer soundtrack and graphics, and there will even be a Digital Art mode that will display works from curated sources — thankfully NFTs are absent from BMWs.The 7 Series can drive itself…under certain circumstances.
