    BMW's new 7-series is first car that can really park itself

    Hidden Content

    James Bond cars are no longer consigned to the cinema: BMW has just unveiled its new 7-series and it's packed to the gills with gadgets.

    Top of the list is the Parking Assistant feature, which lets the BMW 7-series park without you even being in the car. You do this with something called a Display Key, which looks a cross between a central locking remote and a tricorder, with a 2.2in screen on the front to finish things off.

    Granted, it’ll only work if the BMW 7-series is positioned in front of the parking space, and to avoid any traffic disasters it’ll only move 1.5 times the length of the car. But it’s pretty futuristic regardless, and is the first consumer model to have exactly such a feature, according to BMW.

    Other futuristic extras include a seven-inch tablet that’ll control features from the outside, massage seats, wireless phone charge points and automatic steering through traffic jams. Oh, and the passengers get access to ‘cinema’ screens that’ll comfortably outdo those of most first-class flights.

    On the outside, the new BMW 7-series is a bit more familiar, with that classic BMW grille design and certainly no Delorean-style gullwing doors. It only takes its showing-off so far.

    The BMW 7-series starts at around ?52,500, but that gets you the basic model, including none of the extras we’ve talked about. And unfortunately BMW has been too classy to let us know how much you’ll have to fork out for the top-end spec. Drat.
