Just yesterday we reported that the 2009 BMW 7-series will feature an eight-speed automatic transmission, and now comes word of another feature that will be available on BMW’s flagship model — four-wheel steering.
According to BMWBlog.com, BMW will offer four-wheel steering as an optional extra when the all-new 7-series launches next year. It remains unclear why BMW has decided to offer four-wheel steering on the 7-series — as most buyers won’t be carving up any back roads with the automaker’s largest sedan — but it could be to offer a feature not found on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Audi A8 .
Unfortunately, four-wheel steering isn’t something that we can necessarily see from spy shots, but all should be revealed when the wraps come off the new 7-series in a few months.
