Refreshed 2020 BMW 750i is Packed with Cool Tech & Mega Power
Mid-range 750i model combines near-supercar speed with the space, luxury, and technology you’d expect in a flagship sedan.
YouTuber Doug DeMuro has made a name for himself online by pointing out the “quirks and features” of dozens of cars over the years. He has the ability to find numerous interesting quirks about the smallest and oldest of cars so it’s only logical to assume he found plenty of things to point out on the facelifted 2020 BMW 750i. If you did, you’d be right. Here are the highlights of his discoveries:
That Grille
DeMuro didn’t have to search for the 750i’s giant schnozz. He probably could’ve seen the bloated twin kidneys from space. As DeMuro puts it, “This nose is so massive that it looks like the TSA should get rid of bomb-sniffing dogs and just get a fleet of 7 Series because it looks like this thing could smell anything from about a county away.”
Laser headlights
Goodbye, xenon. Adios, LEDs. Hello, lasers!
Facelift & Buttlift
On the 2020 model, a lightbar links the taillights a la the new 992 Porsche 911.
Avoid the Flashing Red Light
If you go over the speed limit, the head-up display will flash your speed in red to remind you you’re breaking the law.
Check the Footage
The 750i is packed with cameras that show you practically every angle of your surroundings when you park. It even has front and rear cameras that can turn with the steering wheel to show you more of what you can’t see from the driver’s seat.
Put it on the card
You don’t have to use the 750i’s traditional key if you don’t want to. Instead, you can carry a waterproof credit card-like supplemental key with you, then put it on top of the wireless charging mat and start the 750i.
Big Car, Big Numbers
The middle-of-the-range 750i has more than enough oomph. Its twin-turbo V8 produces 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque and uses xDrive to transmit its grunt to the road. Despite its size, the 750i can blast to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. After putting his right foot down, DeMuro says, “That’s no exotic car fast, but it’s not that far behind. Wow.”
A Machine That Cares
Like certain Mercedes models, the 750i offers a variety of wellness and relaxation modes that will adjust the climate control, seat heating and ventilation, and even the music to put you in the right state of mind. The Caring Car system allows you to pick either the Vitalize or Relax setting. In Relax mode, it “closes the sunshades, it turns up the climate control temperature, it turns on the seat massage, and it even commandeers the stereo and plays a specifically programmed relaxing song.”
First-class in the Second Row
Any car with a back seat that can comfortably fit someone as tall as DeMuro is spacious. The 750i is that kind of car. It’s more than just roomy, though. It has a dedicated rear sunroof and power shades for that and the windows – including the little quarter windows.
As DeMuro’s video clearly shows, the 2020 BMW 750i is in dealerships now. Prices start at $102,650.
