The 2010 Digital Drive Car of the Year BMW 7 Series rides at the forefront of technology. Mainstream cars will offer in 5 or 10 years what the Big Bimmer provides today in the way of 0safety, entertainment, communications, navigation and efficiency. They’ll offer it more cheaply, but that’s the way of car technology: It arrives first, and not inexpensively, on high-end cars, then filters across most brands and models. Anti-lock brakes and stability control are the best examples. Plus, the BMW 7 Series remains a blast to drive and, yes, iDrive has been made usable by mere mortals.
The car is not cheap, and the options can add $30,000. Most of them make for a harmonious driving experience that lightens the load on long trips and protects you from other drivers as well as your own occasional mistakes. No car offers more technology and more useful technology, which is why the BMW 7 Series is our Digital Drive Car of the Year. The fun-to-drive part is icing on the cake.
