When BMW launched the updated 7-Series
last year, they gave it a newly developed 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 unit in 750i
xDrive and 750Li xDrive spec, producing more power and torque than it did
underneath the hood of its non-facelifted predecessor. Before the 7er went
under the knife, its V8 unit used to be good for 445 HP and 650 Nm of torque. Now, those numbers stand at 523 HP and 750 Nm.
Aside from being extremely forceful in a straight
line (0-60 in 4 seconds), this particular 2020 BMW 750Li xDrive, pictured at
BMW Abu Dhabi, is also quite stylish thanks to its Royal Burgundy Red / Zagora
Beige exterior-interior color combo.
Royal Burgundy Red is a rather dark shade,
kind of like a sour cherry, but with a strong metallic look. There are also a
great deal of chrome inserts , such as the kidney grille surround, rounding the
air vent, the hockey stick detail and of course around back too.
As for the multi-spoke wheels, they
measure 21-inches in diameter and boast an Orbit Grey finish. On a side note,
while this is a very large car, we can’t help but feel that 20-inch wheels
would have been enough.
Moving on to the interior, we’re looking
at Zagora Beige upholstery, which is a non-cost option on the 750Li, plus
bright-colored gloss wood trim on the dashboard, door panels and center
console. Other features include the 3-spoke M steering wheel, Panorama
SkyLounge roof, massaging seats, Bowers & Wilkins Diamond 3D sound system
(US$ 3,400) and the Rear-Seat Entertainment system (US$ 2,700).
Even though we don’t have an exact number
as to how much this car ultimately cost, we can tell you that right now, the
BMW 750Li xDrive costs upwards of US$ 103,000 in the United States. If you’re
wondering, Royal Burgundy Red isn’t offered in the standard color pallet here
in the States, but you could always look into the Individual options if you
like it that much. In Germany, it’s a € 1,150 option.
