BMW M7 Speculation Thread

Re: Bmw Needs To Built M7 No More Copys With B7

you still own your 750i? or have you gone mad bashing your own car

Sarcasm my friend . I love my 7er and wouldn't trade it for an S class no matter what.

And Luwalira, at least it served well for the last 6-7 years. While I can see you repeating the above sentence in less than a year about the S-Class. While the A8, is still on a different league IMO. The best car in its class for sure (design wise ofcourse). Thats is excluding the Maserati for sure.

Re: Bmw Needs To Built M7 No More Copys With B7

I always liked the looks of the E65/66 and it still is a very modern looking car IMO.

Actually, the tail lights on the pre-FL model don't look "natural" somehow...

It's like the one on the boot lid were forgotten... not an ugly car just the back doesn't look right.

But the face-lift improves in 50% the look of it.

The longer tail lights definitely help the back to look better impression. I may be the only one who actually see a sort of E32 reference in the face-lift E65 tail lights.

-I definitely like the courage of BMW to come-up with such radical looking luxury car that makes the Maybach 57 look dumpy and frumpy. Never mind the pregnant whale they call it the Maybach 62.

But it's low man in it's class wouldn't you say?

Re: Bmw Needs To Built M7 No More Copys With B7

^^Artist, why do you think the S65 is so untouchable? -- did you forget about the Veyron's W16 -- imagine that in an A8

Also, don't forget BMW's V16 it used in the Rolls-Royce 100EX concept (although it probably wouldn't fit in a 7er)

Well Rob as it stands in the hear and now the S65 is untouchable. All of the what-if scenarios don't count when the S65 can be had now at the local MB dealer.

That's certainly a easy position to take now isn't it? You know as well as me you'd love to see a M7 traveling with a S65, and a RS8 hauling ass down the freeway now wouldn't ya?

Sure, I take your point. I was just suggesting to The Artist that he should not assume that only Mercedes-Benz are capable of producing such a vehicle.

Re: Bmw Needs To Built M7 No More Copys With B7

True, but you know when someone else does a 600hp sedan will roll out the S75 or S90, don't ask what the hp will be!

Re: Bmw Needs To Built M7 No More Copys With B7

I dont think anyone here doubt that BMW or Audi can't build powerful car to match a S65.
But dont you guys think it would feel weird to have a big luxury car like a 7-serie with a highreeving engine with a redline all the way up to 8400 rpm?
Thats what M's are about, highreeving engines.

Re: Bmw Needs To Built M7 No More Copys With B7

It can't be any more wierd than a SUV (X6) with the same type of engine, IMO.

true, I forgot about X6 but still it sounds weird but it would be great imagebooster for BMW, a highreeving X6M and M7

Judging by the spy pics, I really hope there won't be any X6M... for the same reason there shouldn't be an M7.

OK, I obviously misunderstood you Artist.

If BMW can pull out a M-version out of the 5-series station wagon, I see no reason why they can't build a M7. BMW is hiding behind "The M-philosophy" and making excuses while the competition blows them away.

Re: Bmw Needs To Built M7 No More Copys With B7

The 7er is a bland looking car, I knew that it would age terribly. It doesn't have the same charisma as the S-class or A8. BMW didn't properly think it through when they designed it.

No. The 7er has aged really well. A facelift with sportpackage looks as modern as the S class.
Now, I am worried about the S class, because I know that this car won't age well at all. It will be very dated when the new 7er and A8 come out.

If BMW can pull out a M-version out of the 5-series station wagon, I see no reason why they can't build a M7. BMW is hiding behind "The M-philosophy" and making excuses while the competition blows them away.

Whatever, dude.
Keep thinking that, if it makes you feel good

As if it would be hard for BMW, the masters of engine development, to make a 6 liter V12 BITURBO with 600 hp.... LOL, give me a break please, hahahahahah

Please, not this again.

What's wrong with forced induction? NOTHING.

335i is using Turbo, I doubt klier is complaining
What he probably meant if BMW wants to build a 600hp car they have the skills to do it
