2014 BMW 7-Series High Security Review

    The BMW 7-Series has a large reputation for being one of the most prestigious and luxurious vehicles on the planet, so it's only fair to heads of state and other important figures that can can have one too. But sometimes, these people need extra protection, so there's a limited range of cars they can buy. But the 7-Series High Security is one of the safest cars on the planet, thanks to a host of safety features, such as a underside fire-extinguishing system, laminated polycarbonate windows, and even an optional machine-gun compartment right in the center console. But just because you need extra security doesn't mean you have to miss out on the normal 7-Series highlights, such as two engine options: an adequate 407-hp twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8, or for a little more "schnell,"you can opt for the twin-turbo 6.0 liter V12, which makes 545 hp and 553 pound-feet of torque. The V12, or "760Li" version does 0-60 in under 5.0 seconds, which isn't bad for a car that weighs almost three tons. And the interior is still incredibly finished, with massaging seats, perforated leather, and an optional rear-seat entertainment system, which is based on BMW's iDrive system. The 7-Series High Security also has VR9 levels of armor, which basically means the car can protect you from an AK-47 and a .44 Magnum. The only other choices in this segment are the Mercedes-Benz S600 Guard (which can come in an incredible Pullman" limousine style) and the Audi A8L W12 Security, which are also both great options.

2014 BMW 760Li Review

    The BMW 7 series has remained one of the biggest, baddest, and most commanding vehicles on the road since 1977 and has really shaped the luxury barge segment, having inspired Lexus, Kia, Hyundai, and Audi to make equally large luxury sedans. It has 4 engine choices: a twin-turbo V6, a hybrid V6, a twin-turbo V8, and an extremely powerful twin-turbo V12 that produces 535 hp and 550 lb-feet of torque. That engine is the top-of-the-line in the 7 series and aids the car do 60 in 4.5 seconds. The interior has good styling, good ergonomics, and is very comfortable, thanks to the fully powered seats in the back and a reclining massage feature. You can also opt for the rear-seat entertainment system, which consists of two flat-screens on the seat-backs and a second iDrive controller, which allows you to access navigation, Bluetooth, and AV and DVD inputs.
