2013 BMW 750Li, 760Li, and Alpina B7 First Drive - MotorTrend Magazine
The last time we had our hands on a BMW 7 Series , the 740i beat out six other competitors in our entry-level full-size luxury test. It goes (almost) without saying that we like that car very, very much. The challenge for BMW's engineering team then was a tough one. For the big 7's mid-cycle refresh, how do you make the best car in its class -- says us -- even better. BMW was kind enough to host us for a day of track and canyon driving at the most excellent Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca so we could see what exactly they've done to the 2013 750, 760, and Alpina B7. Absent were the 740 and the 7 Series ActiveHybrid,... Even without driving those two I can tell you that BMW is pretty dang good at this whole luxury car thing. As in, what did BMW change for the 2013 model year. The lights are now LED (unless you opt for the M Sport package) and the intakes are organic looking, with added splashes of chrome. Also, the two big kidney grille openings feature 9 slats for 2013 instead of 12. Out back, the bumper has a large chrome strip across it and the taillights have more contrast between the black and red sections. Source: www.motortrend.com
