2016 BMW 7-Series Revealed! w/Poll

[Swagger897]

Because it's a Maybach it does kinda make sense. It meant to be similar in style to the ones you see on Rolls Royce's.

I don't recall too many (none to be honest) that use the dish wheels though...

These are more like the ones on a DeVille:

 

[Tornado]

Looks a lot like the Northstar V8...

That's because it is, but I had the picture on hand and it fit the joke.

And under further inspection, looks exactly like a DeVille...

D:

That hurts.

hahaha Oh well, in due time you'll be going out soon enough and buying a new car because your head-gasket is leaking and slowly overheating your car.

And Bentley...

It's just a historic luxury car thing to have dish like hub cap style wheels.

 

[Tornado]

And they look just as bad on all of those as they did when GM put them on the Deville that they sold directly to drug dealers in the 1990s.

 

[TheCracker]

A car that does nothing to hide the fact that it's substantial, needs substantial looking wheels too. Thin, spindly-spoked wheels look too sporty on a pure luxury saloon.

Yep, too sporty for my taste.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Wheels are easy to change.

 

[VXR]

The third and fourth pair of Rolls Royce wheels are available for the more humble gentleman.

well then.... seems like my memory on British luxury yachts needs to be re-cataloged.

I guess this is good (for the super rich anyways).

BMW has confirmed that its first 7 Series to wear the esteemed M colours in almost 40 years will be offered for sale in Australia, with the first examples of the monstrous Mercedes-AMG-bating 441kW V12 turbo limousine expected to arrive later this year.

While many hi-po BMW fans have welcomed the notion of an M-badged 7 Series, the move to introduce the M760Li xDrive is a back flip on the company's unofficial long-held principle that the high-performance brand does not match the 7 Series mantra.

When asked if the new flagship of the 7 Series range would make it Down Under, BMW Group Australia CEO Marc Werner replied “sure” and explained that, while finalisation was still underway, the company needed the model to fill an obvious gap in the local line-up.

“This is one car that has been missing in our product portfolio so far, and putting an M-badge on our flagship the 7 Series makes perfect sense,” he said.

Its current top-shelf 7 Series – the 4.4-litre 750Li can’t quite cut the mustard against Mercedes' mighty S65 AMG which has 6.0-litres at its disposal, but with a mammoth turbocharged 6.6-litre V12 and four-wheel drive, the 760Li is 0.4 seconds quicker from zero to 100km/h than the Merc, taking just 3.9s.

Would you prefer TE37 on your Rolls?

 

[Grandea GTR]

Would you prefer TE37 on your Rolls?

Ooooooo nooooo

 

[Tornado]

Would you prefer TE37 on your Rolls?

Yes. I'd prefer them on my horrible Drug Dealer Deville as well.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Yes. I'd prefer them on my horrible Drug Dealer Deville as well.

New 3-series and 7-series BMW's spotted in Tallinn. (not my photos)

 

[Leicht]

Now I remember why does the 7-series tail light looks familiar:

 

[The87Dodge]

BMW is considering making two new models an M7, and a 9-series, and palatial sedan. Both will be priced around $200,000.

Yumpin yimini!

THE flagship of BMW Australia’s product range will arrive next year in the form of the all-wheel-drive, V12-powered M760Li xDrive super limo, carrying a pricetag of $419,000AUD before on-road costs and the title of most expensive Bimmer on the market.

As expected, buyers who are willing to splash the cash are treated to one of the most technologically advanced, well-equipped and high-performing vehicles available in Australia.

The monumental 6.6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine is good for 448kW of power between 5250-6000rpm and peak torque of 800Nm between 1500-5000rpm which, when paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and BMW’s rear-biased xDrive all-wheel-drive system, can shoot the M760Li from zero to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds.

Alpina B7 looks gorgeous in my opinion and 0-62 time in 3.7 seconds is astonishing but it's going to set you back $150k.

There may finally be an M7 in the near future...

BMW has officially trademarked the M7 name... this could suggest that an M7 is on the way. Filed with the USPTO, as discovered by BimmerFest, the patent “consists of standard characters without claim to any particular font style, size, or color”, the document reveals. Also, it’s specifically aimed at “automobiles”.
