The 740i is a luxury car, something that adding performance bits won't change, obvious to anyone who slips into either front or rear seat. As the Sport Package is available only on the shorter-wheelbase 7 Series, back seat passengers won't get the legs-out-straight room or the footrest of the L models, but 740i has room enough for three authentic adults to be comfortable in back. The Sport Package has its own version of sport front seats that, in addition to providing lateral support for enthusiastic driving, have an articulated backrest that flexes up to 27 degrees for more or less shoulder support as desired. Thigh support - the forward portion of the seat cushion - may be extended up to 2.4 inches. Including the other 14-way power adjustments, including 4-way lumbar adjustment, that's a total of 18 adjustments and more accommodation to one's physique than a waterbed. Full leather is standard. Appropriate to this executive hotrod, the interior is warmed with Vavona redwood trim in place of the usual burl walnut.
