The BMW 7 Series is built for a full calendar. On the drive to Pensacola, the rear seat holds a video call or reclines with a footrest. On a free afternoon, the adaptive air suspension and rear-wheel steering make the front seat the place to be.
Our dealership, a partner of ZT Automotive Group, has the new 7 Series on our lot on North Beal Parkway. Our BMW Genius Client Advisors set up the drive modes and pair your phone before the test drive. A test drive can be booked online, and the car is staged when you arrive.
Asked most often by executives from Destin and Fort Walton Beach
Is the 7 Series better to drive or to be driven in?

“I have been using BMW of FWB since I got to the area in 2018 and I have been pleased with them. I just bought my 3rd car from here and each time Rudi Dos Santos was my salesman. He’s personable, knowledgeable; just a great all around salesman. If you’re in the need or just want a new car, be sure to ask for Rudi!!”
“Stopped in for test drive and had a great overall experience! Darreus Mascall assisted us and he was a tremendous help. He was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the SUVs that we looked at and we look forward to working with him again. A++++”
“I just bought my third car from BMW of Fort Walton Beach. It is such a pleasant experience. I especially like the professionalism of the people there. My salesman is Rudi. He’s the first person I thought of when I knew I wanted a different car”
The new 7 Series, its rear seat and its drive, and how it compares with the 5 Series and X7. Then how we sell it and look after it in Fort Walton Beach.
1. The new 7 Series on our lot
BMW's largest sedan arrives with a bold face and a cabin built around the people inside it.
The new 7 Series on our lot measures 212.6 inches, with a 19.1 cubic foot trunk. On our test drives, BMW Panoramic Vision spans the windshield beside the 3D Head-up Display. At our dealership, our Client Advisors can show you the available BMW Iconic Kidney Glow and Crystal Headlights after dark.

Today our lot on North Beal Parkway has two 7 Series sedans, both rear-wheel drive. The new generation makes 394 horsepower and the 2026 740i 375. BMW's 740 uses a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six with 48V mild-hybrid technology.
BMW Individual offers two-tone paint, with a fine decorative line between the two colors. Inside, the choice at our showroom runs to Merino leather with cashmere wool, real wood or soft Alcantara. The large Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof fills the cabin with light by day. A 14.6-inch Passenger Screen sits in front of the front passenger.
At our dealership, our Client Advisors can walk you through the colors and trims on each car.
BMW built the rear of the 7 Series for long hours, whether you work or rest.
On the 7 Series we sell, the available Executive Lounge tilts the rear seat back and slides the front forward. An extending footrest, massage programs and heated, ventilated seats finish the space. Each rear door holds a 5.5-inch touchscreen for the climate, the seat, the sun protection, the lighting and the doors.

The available 31.3-inch 8K BMW Theatre Screen extends from the roof at your command. At our showroom, we can show you its integrated camera for video calls. Up to two headphones and two controllers connect over Bluetooth. The available Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System adds Dolby Atmos for the drive home to Destin.
A sedan this size still feels agile, because the rear wheels steer with the front.
On the drive from Fort Walton Beach, adaptive 2-axle air suspension adapts the dampers to the road surface by itself. With Integral Active Steering, the rear wheels turn by up to 3.5 degrees. At low speed they turn against the front wheels, so a tight garage in Destin is easier. At high speed they turn with them, for a steadier lane change on I-10.
On a long highway run, the available Highway & Commuting Assistant holds speed, distance and steering. When the system is ready, it allows hands off the wheel at up to 85 mph. You still watch the traffic and take the wheel when needed. Our Client Advisors in Fort Walton Beach can explain it before the test drive. My Modes offers Personal, Efficient, Silent and Sport, and the available Parking Assistant Professional parks the car with you standing outside it.
Three BMWs on our lot suit an executive, and each answers a different week.
7 SeriesThe rear seat
For when the rear seat matters as much as the front.
5 SeriesThe daily drive
For the owner who drives every day. The 550e xDrive adds plug-in hybrid power.
X7The family weekend

At our showroom, the 7 Series is the choice when the rear seat matters as much as the front. The 5 Series suits the owner who drives every day, and the 550e xDrive adds plug-in hybrid power. The X7 xDrive40i brings three rows and standard xDrive for a family weekend on 30A.
