2005 BMW 7 Series Review

　　

zzdcar' Expert Review

by the zzdcar Experts

　　

What’s new

　　Park distance control and adaptive headlights are now standard on all models. Comfort Access is a new option, and allows the driver to lock and unlock the doors without pressing any remote buttons. Also new this year is a Rear Entertainment package that includes a rear-seat iDrive controller and screen, as well as a trunk-mounted six-disc DVD changer.

　　

zzdcar says

　　A brilliant luxury sedan scarred by senselessly complicated interior controls and awkward exterior styling.
