The 2013 BMW 7 Series is a well-recommended luxury sedan and there's plenty to like about the current fifth generation of the 7-Series. 7 Series is the go-to choice for those who wanted performance-oriented handling from their high-end luxury sedans. Nevertheless, the 7 Series absolutely will not disappoint those looking for a confident, comfortable long-distance cruiser.

The 2013 BMW 740 is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 that produces 315 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. The 750 gets a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 good for 445 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque.

BMW estimates that a rear-drive model will go from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. The 760Li gets a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that produces 535 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. BMW offers all-wheel drive on most 7-Series models-this year, with 6-cylinders.

In comparison, it is the BMW 7 Series in the segment that has a bigger power figure on its hand to crise the sedan. Even the torque figures seem big enough for the car to cruise from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds, even though the top speed is limited at 155mph. But the 2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class performs better with an enhanced torque providing it with a better initial acceleration to reach the finish line before the 7 series.

Across the entire model range, the 7-Series has stop/start, brake energy regeneration, and an economy driving mode. Stop/start turns off the engine at idle-stop lights, for example-and restarts it when the driver moves their foot from the brake.

The ECO PRO mode on the 7 series once engaged, operates unobtrusively, it manages the powertrain and climate controls to maximize efficiency.

The new V-8 engines, fuel economy numbers are up by about 2 mpg this year for the entire 750i lineup, at 17 mpg city, 25 highway, or 16/24 mpg with xDrive all-wheel drive. The same 16/24 mpg rating is applied to both the short- and long-wheelbase twin-turbo Alpina B7, the high-performance edition of the 7-Series, while the V-12 760Li gets just 13/20 mpg.
