More about the BMW 7 Series
Parking Assistant Plus allows the vehicle to automatically pull into a parallel space, handling the steering, accelerator and brakes. Paired perfectly with the Back-Up Assistant, this new technology allows the driver to have a type of automated reversing that enables the driver to get out of a tight space with limited visibility.
A direct link to the navigation system allows the driver to see the preferable gear to select according to the road ahead. Therefore, fewer unnecessary shifts need to be made during corners and more use of the engine braking when approaching a junction. On top of this, the 7 Series can tap into its cameras and radar sensors to examine the road conditions around it.
If your vehicle goes into a stationary condition for a short time, the Auto-Start-Stop system won't shut off the engine, as it is less efficient than leaving the car running. Depending on the driving conditions, the 7 Series clever technology allows the car to choose whether to enable coasting mode, therefore saving gas in the process.
When driving at night, the BMW Night Vision is designed to give visibility where regular headlights wouldn't reach; it shows a heat-sight view of the route head, allowing the driver to see potential over-looked perils that they may have previously missed. Night Sight is combined with obstacle detection so that the vehicle can identify people, larger animals and other heat-emitting objects on the scene.
What’s the Towing Capacity of the 7 Series?
This model of the BMW 7 series has an approximate towing weight of 2300KG; this allows its driver a whole host of options when considering what to tow. Due to the different models and trims available for this vehicle, we would always advise checking your VIN plate for an accurate reading. The best way to receive an accurate towing capacity for your vehicle is by checking your vin plate. This is usually located under the bonnet or on the passenger door sill. Our sales team will be happy to help if you need any further assistance.
Will it need a bumper cut?
The detachable Towbar requires a bumper cut to be made to the undertray of the vehicle to be fitted. This has been listed as a non-visible bumper cut; however, different trim levels may require further modifications. To check what bumper cut your vehicle requires, please contact our sales team for further assistance.
Which Towbar is best for my BMW 7 Series?
The fixed flange towbar is an excellent option for those who do not wish to remove the Towbar after they have finished towing, although the chunkier design is known for causing some interference from the rear parking sensors. The fixed flange towbar is great for pairing with towing accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt on cycle carriers. The accessories use the bolt on plate at the rear of the towbar meaning the driver is able to use the accessories at the same time as towing.
The fixed swan neck towbar has a thinner towbar neck to the fixed flange towbar and therefore is less likely to be detected by parking sensors; however, this is not guaranteed. This is a great option for those who prefer a sleeker-looking towbar but do not want to remove it after towing is completed. The fixed swan neck is compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and can be used with all cycle carriers that clamp on to the towball.
The detachable swan neck towbar is the perfect choice for those who want to protect their vehicle's aesthetic. Once towing is completed, the towbar neck can be removed, and the Towbar will appear practically invisible. The towbar neck is removed by unlocking the neck and using a twist and push action. The detachable towbar is also compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and all clamp on style cycle carriers.
