7 Series [Official] The New BMW 7 Series

[FC123]

True, the rear resembles more of an old E37 BMW 7er, the shape etc. than an old S-class.
But in the one with the Mercedes eblem it somehow crossed my mind that it resembled somewhat to an old S-class.



I guess it's too far fetched to see for alot of people but perception could be different by person, I saw it somehow. And I post it whether I was the only one, it's not about nitpicking at all just perception.
What's about to nitpick? I really like the car and from the post of Ralfd, it can only be better!

What's the E37?

I can remember: E23, E32, E38 and E65?

735d (boosted power output)
7-series Hybrid

No 745i/d ?

No 745i/d ?

In my opinion there will be no 745d - the engine was to heavy and with the turbo engines the 6-cylinder will produce much better perfomance with less fuel consumption. Maybe BMW will introduce a second diesel engine. But I have no idea.

What's the drag coefficient value for new 7er?

 

[EnI]

No 745i/d ?

+300HP I6 VTT diesel will do the trick.

V8 diesel didn't sell as well as BMW expected - the main market for it was Europe but still the sales were slow. 730d sold much, much better ... Customers who wanted more performance opted for 750i instead.

Instead of V8 diesel the Hybrid version of 7er will be offered. Better millage, better performance than V8 diesel.

What's the drag coefficient value for new 7er?

730d: Cw = 0.29
740(L)i: Cw = 0.30
750(L)i: Cw = 0.31

All models: A = 2.41 (A = frontal area in square meters)


As you know drag resistance = Cw x A




Eg:
E65/66 7er: Cw = 0.29 (A = 2.38)
S-class: Cw = 0.27 - 0.30 (depends on model), no data for A
LS: Cw = 0.26 - 0.27 (depends on model), no data for A
A8: Cw = 0.27 - 0.29 (depends on model), no data for A

Someone know if there will be M package ?
So no 745d and maybe no 745i? It would be nice if there is option between the 740-750-760, like V10 755

 

[peterleo]

V10 755? If it would appear I think they'd call it m7
That would be really NICE!
Any new news on that 8 speed gearbox??

 

[EnI]

Any new news on that 8 speed gearbox??

The debut in 7er mild-hybrid in late 2009.
760(L)i & 735d are also coming in 2009.
And some new stuff will be first featured in 760(L)i.
xDrive option coming as well for MY 2010 (Europe).

 

[klier]

Has anyone seen nighttime images of the interior?
I have not yet seen any, and I would love to see shots of the ambient lighting in the new 7er...

Can we spect M Package as standart for 760i? Or better, Will we see an M package?.

 

[mbc]

I've aksed that question at least twice. maybe people in the know will answer you! I got nothing!

 

[EnI]

Can we spect M Package as standart for 760i?

No.

Or better, Will we see an M package?.

Yes, later.

 

[mini_cooper4]

No.



Yes, later.

Thats realy good news, I can't wait to see how my feature car will look like with that M Package. Any news about the power of next gen's W12?

 

[speed_kills]

W12? You mean V12? Expect at least 500Hp from a 6.3 V12 Turbo

 

[vabboud]

hardly 6.3, downsizing is key now, expect a sub 6.0 V12, more like 5 or 5.2 with twin turbos,

 

[speed_kills]

I've heard 6.3 but doesn't really mather. A V12 is good even if is a 2.0. Maybe is 5.7 Turbo?
