>> Not only does BMW have a new 7 Series Hybrid up its sleeve but all of the 7 Series get a major revamp. We approve of the new looks and inside the new tech, a side-view camera system, park distance control, lane departure warning system, heads-up display, 4 wheel active steering, and a new version of iDrive that is hopefully at least a little bit loveable. Another iDrive knob in the back controls the optional rear seat dual monitor entertainment rig. ^M00:00:43 [ Music ]
