Product Overview

BMW 7 Series F01 LCI is the facelifted version of the F01 full-size luxury sedan in production from 2012 to 2015. It is available with a range of I6, V8, and V12 engines that displaced 3.0 to 6.0 liters. The long-wheelbase version of the F01 is codenamed F02.

The facelift was mostly cosmetic, and many would argue that the vehicle became less elegant and more generic.

Drivetrain-wise, the N55 replaced the N54, which proved to be one of the bad I6 engines from BMW in the last few decades. The N63 V8 was upgraded to N63TU, which is supposedly more reliable.

Otherwise, BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the F01 7 Series comes with double-wishbone + multi-link suspension setup for better handling than previous 7s.
