2024 BMW 7 Series Interior and Cargo

The seating upholstery is plush, with Veganza faux leather as standard. Merino leather is available for $1,850, though it is standard in the 750e and 760i. Color combinations for the former include Black/Burgundy, Mocha, Cognac, and Black. The Merino leather options are Amarone, Smoke White, Black/Atlas Grey, Mocha, Black, and Tartufo. Two more hues are added when you upgrade to the full Merino Leather for $7,300, these being Caramel/Atlas Grey and Taupe Grey/Night Blue.

In the 760i, the Smoke White and Black full Merina leather can be supplemented with Cashmere. No matter which colors you choose for the BMW 7 Series, you can pair them up with wood, metal, or carbon fiber trim. The latter will cost you $1,080, which is the same price as the Silver Ash Root Open Pore wood.

Cargo space is not where the BMW 7 Series shines, despite its impressive size. There is a mere 13.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats. But while trunk volume may be unimpressive, there are numerous places around the cabin to store your smaller items. These include a glove compartment and a spacious armrest cubby, and there are four cupholders in total - two up front and two in the back.

As you'd expect from a car priced around the six-figure mark, the BMW 7 Series comes outfitted with some of the most impressive technology available in the automotive industry. This includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, comfort keyless access, push-button start, remote engine start, power-adjustable front seats with memory, and quad-zone automatic climate control. You also get auto-dimming rearview and side mirrors, as well as three power outlets. The 760i upgrades to heated and ventilated front seats and adds a panoramic sky lounge LED roof. These features can be added to the 740i and 750e at additional cost. The standard safety suite comprises forward collision mitigation, blind-spot protection, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, an active park distance control with a backup assistant. Optional features include a surround-view camera, Parking Assistant Professional, and adaptive cruise control with semi-autonomous driving.

Now running on the latest iDrive 8.5 software, the 14.9-inch central infotainment touchscreen display offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Wi-Fi capability, HD Radio, Bluetooth streaming, and over-the-air updates. The standard sound system comprises 18 speakers from Bower & Wilkins, but this can be upgraded to a 40-speaker surround sound setup. You can also install a 31-inch theater system in the back of the cabin, which is controlled via 5.5-inch touchscreens located on the rear-passenger doors.
