What style rims are those?

The new 7 looks much better in darker colors.

I asked the same thing, but no response yet

I don't know if you guys remember, but there used to be this great site online with every BMW rims available, with style numbers and everything (back in the GCF time, his name was Zouz) BMW made him shut down the site, which sucks even today. Stupid.

The rims are the ones we sqw when the first F01 test mules appeared, they were black and without the BMW logo.

Yeah Ziad (zouz) had a wonderful site (kalash), he had access to mediapool but they kicked him out and threatened him to go in court, as ofr the rims, they are from the accessories catalogue, someone posted it not long ago.

The 2011 BMW 740i and 740Li Sedans

• 16.12.2009
• Press Release

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – December 16, 2009 2:00pm Eastern … As an exciting example of its EfficientDynamics engineering philosophy, BMW announced the North American debut of the 7 Series with a twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine. Featuring BMW’s award-winning inline-6 engine that produces V-8 power on six-cylinder fuel consumption, the new BMW 740i and BMW 740Li achieve a remarkable balance of power, efficiency, and sporty driving dynamics. Both models will go on sale in the United States as 2011 models in Spring 2010. Pricing will be announced closer to the on-sale date.

In 1977, the original BMW 7 Series was launched exclusively with inline-6 propulsion. The United States first met the BMW 7 Series in the 1978 model year as the 733i Sedan. The 733i featured a 3.2-liter inline-6 engine rated at 197 horsepower. The 733i remained on sale in America until it was replaced in 1985 by the BMW 735i Sedan. The 735i, which featured an updated inline-6 engine producing 218 horsepower from 3.4 liters, enjoyed a production run that lasted through the end of the 1992 model year. The 735i was joined by the extended-wheelbase 735iL in May of 1988.

A keystone of BMW’s EfficientDynamics philosophy is “virtual displacement,” the notion that BMW’s modern engines of smaller displacement can equal or exceed the outputs of traditional engines of larger displacement and more cylinders. This principle is already seen in the BMW 750i model, which features a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine performing at the level of BMW’s previous-generation V12 engine. Virtual displacement provides the power of a larger engine with the fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions signature of a smaller engine. The 2011 BMW 740i and 740Li feature BMW’s internationally acclaimed twin-turbocharged inline-6 engine with up-rated output of 315 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 330 lb-ft of torque from 1600-4500 rpm. All-aluminum construction, High Precision direct fuel injection, Double-VANOS variable camshaft technology, and Brake Energy Regeneration are a few of the technologies used under the BMW EfficientDynamics philosophy to place the 740i and 740Li among the most powerful six-cylinder luxury sedans in the world. Delivering power to the rear wheels is BMW’s 6-speed automatic transmission, well-known for fast, smooth gearshifts and an ability to intelligently adapt to the driver’s style.

Both models will be available with the full complement of well-known 7 Series options and packages, including the M Sport Package, Driver Assistance Package, Luxury Seating Packages, Rear Entertainment Package, and even the BMW Individual Composition Package.

^^I want to know how much they undercut the base price of the 750. I mean, it's not like they brought out a brand new engine, it's still the 35i engine.

 

[klier]

^ I want to know why it has a 6-speed and not an 8-speed like the new 5er, 5er GT and 760i

Most likely cost related than anything else. Plus, they have the 6-speed dialed in with the 35i engines, so it won't require as much R&D as they would have to put in by trying to get it right with the 8-speed.

I'm proud to tell you that this morning I ordered both 750xi and X6 3.5d

Photos of X6 are coming soon (I'm leaving for Belgrade tomorrow morning where the car is waiting for me) but you'll have to be a bit patient concerning the 7 Series (March)...

Congratulations! Very interested to know how you like the 750i with xDrive.

I'm glad they didn't murder the car out completely by smoking the tail lights.

 

[Zafiro]

Can he find his car in the dark?

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Now that is classy! Love the all black. Outstanding for night driving. That would get a bus load of attention in DC.

True Gangsta car!
