The rigidity of the bodywork has increased in 55 % and the use of light materials as the aluminum has spread over a major number of parts of the vehicle. Nevertheless the biggest innovation that BMW includes in this renewed family is the system of active direction in four wheels, thanks to which, the wheels of the rear train also can turn. This is obtained thanks to the help of a few electrical engines, which, they allow the rear wheels to turn in the opposite direction the front parts up to 60 km / h; from here on, they turn in equal sense. Very similar system to 4control of Renault and that it helps in maneuvers at low speed, in addition to increasing greatly the stability in curves.

Another system thought to do the most comfortable conduction and that 7 inherits from the series, it is the Dynamic Control of Conduction. This device allows to choose between several configurations so that the berlin answers according to our way of driving. The ways are four: Normal, Comfort, Sport or Sport + and the elements on which it operates the Dynamic Control are: suspension, gas pedal, direction, gearbox, control of stability and of haulage.
