High-End automatic air condition maintains travelling comfort at a supreme
level regardless of weather conditions outside the car. The sensors featured in
this automatic air condition detect the exact level of sunshine and control
the flow of cooling air precisely in line with these requirements, the automatic
system distributing fresh air without draughts and with individual adjustment
to the various areas within the passenger compartment.
The auxiliary heating system featured in BMW Hydrogen 7 is activated as an
additional heating function either from inside the car or by remote control
from outside, ensuring a pleasant temperature inside the car in winter even
before the engine has been started and allowing the engine to warm up
to its optimum operating temperature more quickly. In summer, in turn, the
system supports the air conditioning through its auxiliary ventilation function.
The sunblinds on the rear side windows of BMW Hydrogen 7 serve to further
enhance the climate and feeling of comfort within the car. To reveal their
heritage, they proudly bear the words BMW Hydrogen Power also to be
found on the trim bars in the doors.
Yet a further feature is the on-board entertainment system exceeding even the
regular system in the BMW 7 Series and giving the interior premium-class
lifestyle and business qualities in every respect, complete with a CD changer
and DVD changer, a rear monitor for the passengers at the back, a TV
function complete with DVB-T reception, the BMW Assist telematics service,
a separate telephone at the rear, and full preparation for BMW Teleservice.
Further technical highlights round off the supreme standard of BMW Hydrogen 7,
such as Comfort Access, BMW Online, as well as voice recognition
controlling the navigation, telephone and audio system. Then there is also the
heated steering wheel, electrically adjustable comfort seats, BMW Night
Vision, Adaptive Headlights, as well as 19-inch light-alloy wheels including
BMW s Mobility Set.
Metallic paintwork as yet another standard feature.
On the road, BMW Hydrogen 7 stands out clearly as a very exclusive vehicle
through its high-quality metallic paintwork. Indeed, metallic paintwork
comes as standard on BMW Hydrogen 7, particularly the special colour Blue
Water Metallic available exclusively on this model highlighting the unique
class, calibre and character of BMW s Hydrogen Saloon.
So the bottom line of the vehicle concept boasted by BMW Hydrogen 7 is
obvious: motoring will be just as attractive and appealing in future as it is today
and at the same time it will be cleaner than ever before.

The introduction of the BMW Hydrogen 7 represents a significant step into
the future of automobile development, reducing CO2 emissions by a dramatic
margin. The dual-mode twelve-cylinder power unit featured in
BMW Hydrogen 7 is able to burn hydrogen with virtually no emissions
whatsoever as well as gasoline in a conventional process.
Featuring revolutionary innovations in engine technology and calibre,
BMW Hydrogen 7 is paving the way for a highly practical changeover to a
much cleaner and more environmentally-friendly world of motoring.
And at the same time the dual-mode twelve-cylinder power unit featured in
BMW Hydrogen 7 efficiently overcomes any gaps in the use of hydrogen
due to the supply infrastructure currently still limited. Indeed, these innovations
in technology clearly demonstrate the great commitment and responsibility
assumed by the BMW Group as a leader in drivetrain technology.
Taking the current state of the art, only the combustion engine offers the
advantage of being able to run in two operating modes. And precisely this is
why the motorist opting for clean energy in the drivetrain is not restricted in
any way in his individual mobility, thanks to the engine s dual-mode technology.
Offering a cruising range of approximately 700 kilometres or 435 miles,
BMW Hydrogen 7 is able to take the driver and his passengers even further
than a conventional gasoline-powered car. And in comparison with fuel
cell technology, the combustion engine offers a far higher standard of maturity
based on decades of experience the world over. Apart from the reliability
offered by this engine concept as a result of this experience, the excellent
driving dynamic qualities of the combustion engine are a further argument
in favour of everyday motoring in practical style.
Series-production twelve-cylinder modified for hydrogen drive.
The twelve-cylinder power unit of the world s first series-production hydrogen-
powered luxury saloon for everyday use is a derivative of the gasoline engine
in the BMW 760i and boasts the most advanced features in technology such
as fully variable VALETRONIC valve control and variable camshaft adjustment
