HIGHS Superb engines, great automatic transmissions, and excellent handling; long-wheelbase cars have lots of rear-seat space.		LOWS Annoying seat controls, iDrive; styling isn’t for all tastes.

WHAT'S NEW Redesigned for 2002; no major changes for 2008.		BEHIND THE WHEEL A big and luxurious sedan that coddles driver and passenger alike, but underneath is a sports sedan that feels better the faster you drive it.

CAPSULE REVIEW If you can look past its unique styling, the 7-series is one of the most comfortable and best handling large luxury sedans. Inside, there are annoyances like iDrive and obstinant seat controls, but the cabin is beautifully put together. A replacement is due in 2009.

2008 BMW 7 Series

Car Manufacture

There were only two letdowns in terms of behind-the-wheel experience. First was a lack of steering feel, which likely had everything to do with the European-market electric assist, fitted because it’s marginally more efficient than a hydraulic setup. Unfortunately, the electric boost will remain on our 128i coupes and convertibles when the cars go on sale here in late March or early April, although both 135i models will get the more communicative hydraulic steering.

Maybe It Should Have Skipped That Last French Fry?

The 125i we drove was powered by a 215-horsepower version of BMW’s so-sweet-it-hurts 3.0-liter inline-six—remember the ’06 325i?—but the 128i will receive a welcome bump to 230 horses. Both engines make essentially the same amount of torque; 200 pound-feet for the 128i and 199 for the 125i. The power increase is good news not just because we always welcome more ponies—here comes that second letdown—but because this thing is heavy. We’re talking as-heavy-as-a-335i-coupe heavy; BMW claims 3571 pounds for the 128i ragtop with a six-speed automatic, while a 335i automatic coupe we tested weighed in at 3584. Heavy.

Using BMW’s figures, the 1-series convertible weighs roughly 250 pounds more than the coupe and about 220 pounds less than a 328i convertible. Still, the car is pretty quick, taking an estimated 6.4 seconds for the 0-to-60-mph run equipped with the fluid six-speed manual. Taking BMW’s notoriously conservative figures into mind, we’ll bet we can beat that by a few ticks.
