2006 BMW 750Li Road Test

It may difficult to spot the facelift BMW has given the 7-Series for 2006, but exterior revisions give the flagship Bimmer a new grille, headlights, front bumper, hood, rear bumper, trunk lid, taillights, rear valance, side sills and wheels. Slight mods also apply to the spacious cabin wherein one will find dashboard tweaking, iDrive improvements and updated trim elements. But probably the most influential yet least visible alteration for 2006 is the increased displacement and output of the V8 powerplant that powered last year's 745s, and now powers their replacements, the 750i and 750Li. It's a dream of an engine, but more about that later.
