History
History of the BMW 7 Series
The BMW 7 Series is the brand's flagship sedan, the standard-bearer of the full-size luxury touring segment. It embodies the top of the range in terms of comfort, refinement, technological equipment and presence. The current generation (G70) offers gasoline, plug-in hybrid powertrains and the fully electric i7 derivative. It is aimed at a demanding clientele seeking prestige, generous rear space and the latest advances in infotainment and driver assistance. The 7 Series competes with the other large German luxury sedans. In terms of tires and wheels, this large premium format usually uses wide wheels, often 19 to 21 inches, with low-profile tires. In Quebec, fitting suitable winter tires is indispensable for a heavy and powerful vehicle; a winter set on dedicated wheels makes seasonal maintenance easier.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les BMW modernes utilisent fréquemment des jantes de 17 à 20 pouces et plus, les versions M ou les VUS comme la X5 montant souvent dans le haut de cette plage. Plusieurs modèles adoptent un montage à entraxe à cinq trous courant sur la gamme récente, et certaines configurations sportives recourent à des dimensions différentes à l'avant et à l'arrière (montage étagé). Les pneus à profil bas, voire à roulage à plat (run-flat), sont répandus d'origine. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires et essentiels pour ces véhicules à fort couple : un jeu de jantes dédié de plus petit diamètre facilite souvent le montage hivernal. Validez toujours dimensions, entraxe et indices de charge propres au modèle et à l'année.
