The unusual part about the passenger screen is that you can\u2019t order the 7 Series without it<\/a>. That\u2019s right, even the base model comes with the additional display as standard equipment. When no one is sitting in the passenger seat, the screen automatically switches to a \u201creduced mode.\u201d Even when it\u2019s active, the driver can\u2019t see the content displayed because of a privacy filter. The so-called \u201cintegrated shield function\u201d avoids the risk of distraction from the extra screen.<\/p>\n An Even Bigger Screen Awaits In The Back<\/p>\n The passenger display only supports full HD resolution. For even better image quality, you\u2019ll want to sit in the back. That is, provided the 7er is equipped with the optional 31.3-inch Theatre Screen, which offers crisp 8K resolution. Compared to the pre-facelift 7 Series, the large display that folds down from the ceiling is now a full touchscreen. It even has a built-in camera for video calls when you want to work, along with an HDMI port for hooking up a console when you want to play.<\/p>\n Much like the Theatre Screen trickled down to the long-wheelbase 5 Series, the passenger display is likely headed to the 5er as well. It could arrive as early as next year when the G50 undergoes its Life Cycle Impulse. Whether it will be standard or optional remains to be seen, but we may not have to wait much longer to find out. The new X5 (G65)<\/a>, debuting this summer, should reveal whether BMW plans to reserve the passenger display as standard equipment for the 7 Series or expand it to more affordable models as well.<\/p>\n![\"2027](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2027-bmw-7-series-i7-facelift-127-830x553.jpg\" "\\"2027")
