2006 BMW 760Li
Since its dramatic debut as a 2002 model, the 7 Series
has been anything but static. Following on the original two V-8 models, regularwheelbase 745i and long-wheelbase 745Li, model
year ’03 saw introduction of the V-12 760Li model, a
phase-in of the STEPTRONIC automatic transmission on all models, and a Sport
Package for the two 745 models.

BMW 7 Series Freshened for 2006
|
Source: BMW | Published: Mon Oct 03, 2005 |
2004 brought optional Xenon Adaptive headlights, adding
“steering” capability to the Xenon lights that had been standard from the
start; standard powerfold exterior mirrors; and
significant refinements to the iDrive system and automatic climate
control. In mid-’04, the regular-wheelbase, sport-toned V-12 760i was
added to the Series. Then, for the ’05 model year, the
Xenon Adaptive headlights became standard on all models,
while Park Distance Control became standard on the 745 models as it already was
on the 760s. Also in ’05, two new options became
available: Comfort Access for more convenient entry and
locking, and the Rear Entertainment Package, providing rear-seat passengers
their own iDrive monitor and DVD changer.
All of which reminds one that at BMW, the pace of evolution and improvement
never slows; so it is that as of March 2005 production, a
significantly evolved 7 Series makes its debut as four
early ’06 models. The changes are typical of a midterm freshening at BMW,
focusing on tangible engineering and technical progress,
tasteful design refinements and even greater luxury for
these already most supremely refined and luxurious BMW Sedans.
Subtly Freshened Exterior...
Forward of the windshield, the ’06 7 Series is mostly new – yet the changes have
been executed with the utmost reserve and subtlety. New
elements include a larger rendition of BMW’s traditional
“kidney” grilles; a new bumper/spoiler ensemble; new headlights and foglights;
and a re-contoured hood. ...BMW 760Li: Page 2
