$10,000 here, $10,000 there and sooner or later, you're talking about real money. That's what some 99-percenters may be thinking when they see how BMW is pricing the newest versions of its 7 Series sedans and, specifically, the second-generation ActiveHybrid 7 L. BMW, which said in May that it's replacing the V8s it had used in its 7 Series line with a ...

The latest new bit of news surrounding the 2013 BMW 7 Series is a price tag: $74,195 gets you inside the large doors of the 740i, and that includes $895 destination (as do all prices that follow).

Car and Driver Tested continues with an episode comparing the night vision systems from the Big Three German luxury makers.
