Test Driver Ratings & Comments
Acceleration comments The 750i offers very impressive acceleration for such a big car. The motor pulls strong from idle to redline, and the transmission shifts crisply right at the 7,000rpm redline. The vehicle is noticeably faster in "sport" mode, and letting the computer do the shifting in sport produces faster times than attempting to shift it youself in "manual."
Braking rating Excellent
Braking comments These brakes are nothing short of astounding. Consistent 117-foot stops in a 5,500 pound car with no fade whatsoever is an impressive feat. There was no detectable ABS noise or vibration, the vehicle tracks straight during hard stops and we noted hardly any nose dive. The pedal is very firm (almost to firm, it doesn't allow for much modulation), and the big sedan felt totally controllable.
Handling rating Very Good
Handling comments It may be easy to drive, but the 750 is a big car and you can feel all that mass in the slalom. Traction control and Dynamic Stability Control systems are both very smooth, and they help rather than hinder in the slalom course. Sport mode firms everything up nicely, and the steering feel is excellent. Even the standard thickly-padded BMW steering wheel felt divine. We noted minimal body roll for such a large vehicle, and power was more than abundant for pulling out of the final cones.
