7 Series (G11/G12) [Official] BMW 7 Series (G11/12)

[Mick Briesgau]

One of the best interior features of the 7-Series are the rear headrest cushions. They make the riding experience heavily. It baffles me why they are not an option of every single BMW.

Last week I had a tough week and “hired” a student to drive me and my car to the office. One of the very rare occasions I wasn’t driving myself. Those headrest cushions.... heavenly indeed.

BMW stops sales of the 7er petrol versions in Europe for 9 months from may on. Reason is the EU6c norm: to comply to that norm BMW must build a particlefilter into the engine. Same goes for the M550i xDrive and a few other types.

Am I understanding this correctly? They are going to only sell diesels here in Europe for the remainder of the year?

LOL, what a mess Heads should roll! In fact, it may be an idea to fire the whole of the management, because it's becoming a giant cluster*ck as far as I can see it.

Things must be bad at BMW if they're forgetting to paint the cars before sending them to motorshows.

Remind me of semi-wet concrete. Not a fan.

YUCK. They should have left this crap for Audi.

Jesus... that 80's Lada-Grey should be forbidden by law.

True. These muddy/gloomy paint jobs look ace on Audis.

The W222 started this trend of heavenly rear headrests? Or was it BMW in the previous 7?

Don’t know about the S, but the previous 7 indeed had that already, and if I am not mistaken even the Bangle butt E65 7er had those...

It's the Evil Galactic Empire who have moved the goalposts. The 7er compiled to previous EU legislation until they changed it.
Some conspiracy theorists reckon it's because BMW,Mercedes-Benz,Siemens etc are investing in countries like Poland,Hungary and Britain. Instead of Germany.
Countries that do not comply and bend over to the EU's will.

I don’t know who started it.

It looks like a (very attractive actually) glossy version of that (ghastly) matte/frost M5 borscht-red.

No, I think it was ya mum who started offering heavenly head... ...but maybe you're right that it was Mercedes.

Looks a bit like Calypso Red to me*



*I am red/green colour blind though.

Haha quite possibly! From a distance (excuse the shadow) it had a very dark look about it, I first mistaked it for a dark brown.

7ers are an extremely common sight over here in dubai - I see a lot more of this luxury saloon opposed to the S class.

Bring on the M860 for the sake of the V12!

Aventurine Red Individual.

I was riding next to a fully spec'd 750i today, gorgeous car with the M sport and the right wheels. S-Class and 7-Series for me, A8 is FWD German Buick (in looks).

This car is a sales failure for BMW. Looking forward to the LCI - I think it will be a significant improvement.

No it's not.
