Lucky Number 7 High-Roller Accessories The swanky Wynn Macau opted to stand out from the Macau casino crowd by eschewing the usual Mercedes fleet in favour of the BMW 7 Series – arguably the best- driving luxury sedan in the world. iDrive Dubbed the perfect combination of luxury and high-tech, the 7 Series features BMW’s iDrive system, consisting of a video screen in the dash- board and a controller mounted on the centre console that is used in a similar way to a computer mouse. Using a system of eight menus, most of the car’s climate, audio, navigation, suspension and communication settings are controlled via iDrive. Tech-lovers will be left drooling. Accessories Among the list of accessories available in the 7 Series are a mini-fridge, electronic sun-blinds and DVD player. “Active” Seat continuous passive motion technology is standard on the 750/760 models and included in the Luxury Seating Package with heated and ventilated seats for driver and front passenger on the 745 models. In 2007, the 7 series receives updates both inside and out.On the exterior, a new choice of rims is available and power folding mirrors are standard. On the inside, an updated iDrive system featuring RealTime traffic up- dates is also made standard. Hydrogen 7 BMW plans to offer a car that runs on both petrol and hydrogen, to be called the Hydrogen 7.Drivers will be able to switch what fuel they are us- ing with the push of a button.Only100 of this model will be built, though Macau could surely use some given its worsening smog. Self-Parking System BMW has developed a parking-assist technology that can park your car for you while you stand outside the car and watch as the internal robot- ics park it using a combination of sensors. A prototype of the system has been completed and a demo video was recorded using a BMW 730i.The self-parking system will face its ultimate test in Macau, where botched parking jobs of others can often leave odd-shaped spaces to try to ma- noeuvre your vehicle into.
