7 Series SPOTTED: M-Pack for the 7er? M7?

[VroomVroom]

Now that's a proper bumper. Let's pray that there won't be a thick chrome strip anywhere in there.

I'm sure that one will appear right across where I put the LEDs on the bumper.

The in your face sensor and the very visible radiators seriously suck, BMW has a lot to catch in that field.

They should try hiding it behind either of the kidneys. On the 3-series is not much of a problem but considering how expensive the 7-series some extra effort should be inforced for a more flush solution. The Porsche Panamera also has a visible eye ball, but it's centered. The S-Class has a very clean solution.

I have not heard anything regarding an M7 but what I have been reminded of is that the upcoming X5 Tri-turbo diesel will feature a slight variation on the M aerodynamic packet. BMW will be marketing the Tri-turbo diesel as the BMW advanced performance diesel which suggests the cars will be slightly restrained M versions with sculpted large intakes to cope with their PS output.
The 7er will receive also the Tri-Turbo as will the 5er and 6er eventually . This could be the look the 7er will receive but I will investigate tomorrow.

The real deal is hot indeed & fits the car just right! Can't wait to see one in person!

 

[SCOTT27]

The question regarding is it an M7 ? We have an agreement with the Tuner in which we have a very close relationship than other tuners - Alpina that they offer the most sporting 7er the B7.
BMW customers do not want an M7 , they understand that the high performance sedan within the M Division is the M5. And that if they want the individuality of a flagship performance sedan which is more personal then they go to ALPINA.

For Individual tastes we will offer aswell as the current cars , a V12 , xDrive and an Active Hybrid model (Which is possibly the car seen here)
For sporting tastes and to further cement "Efficient Dynamics" in the luxury class the flagship performance 7er will be a diesel.

How times have changed.

The only people who find tuner cars from Alpina, Carlsson and MTM to be personal are either drug dealers, poker players individuals who have accumulated wealth by shooting amateur porn flicks. In other words, people keen on ricing their cars and shouting their presence on the road.Tuner cars and social admiration don't go hand in hand. Feel free to send me a PM the day Alpina offer a B7 possessing an aero kit that gives the 7-Series the elegance and strong character of an Audi S8 or S63 AMG.

How times have not changed.

S63/65s have more of a drug dealer/gangster image than Alpinas or MTM. Alpinas, the rear wing apart are much more subtle than the AMGs with there race car bumpers and now a zillion LEDs.

Oh and is there a drug dealers, poker players, porn producers survey I can refer to find out what their preferred means of mobility is or did you just pull it out of your ass like most other things?

Cause all business men and CEOs want white racing lines across their bumpers and the sides of their car, right? Point is that an M-badged upper end 7-Series would outsell a B7 a million times over because of the purity of the car, it's all by BMW as opposed to done by a tuner with little acumens in design and refinement. Most notably tuner cars have little or no appeal to the normal public who tend to stick with more familiar brands for prestige purchases.

In the end an M-package is an excellent solution for BMW pundits who want an interim fix until BMW finally concludes the M circle by launching an M7, this is just one step closer to that end goal. A few years ago, mentioning that BMW was to produce an M badged SUV with an automatic gearbox would have resulted in an instant ban. But guess what, the distant idea came to life and it's only a matter of time before BMW sees the lucrative end of launching an M7, especially if the Panamera Turbo proves to lure customers like the Cayenne Turbo did and enticed BMW chairmen to take the M brand down the same route.

M7/Mpackage might be great idea and might sell a zillion times more than B7 - I have no idea. That is not the point. Your assertion that an Alpina is more preferred by drug dealers over an AMG is bs that you just pulled out of your ass. If it is based on how subtle/loud the body kit is, AMGs with their race boy bumpers are way more loud and over the top compared to Alpinas.

Better race boy bumpers than rice boy bumpers.

Why so serious Sunny? If you are a successful drug dealer or Alpina owner I apologize if my opinions may have offended you.

I was avoiding that racial term, but yea, that is exactly what it is when you put race car bumpers on a luxury car.

And I wish I was either, but alas no . As for 'why so serious', something about people making shit up and passing it off as facts...gets under my skin. You thinking Alpinas are butt ugly is fine, that is an opinion. But when you state they are only preferred by unsavory characters, you are asserting a fact. And unless you have something to back it up with, chances are someone will call you out on it.

My comments were directed at Alpina directly but more towards tuner cars in generally, and that they are not perceived as positive substitutes for top ends cars with heritage like M5s, RS6s and MB AMGs. So my intent was by no means to bash Alpina because I neither love nor lothe them which is my same sentiment I have expressed for several other tuners. Most of them offer rims with excellent design, some have delicious body kits(Hartge) while others don't.

Fair enough. But I think Alpina unlike most other tuners does a much more subtle job. In fact I think most would consider the Alpina to be the more sober option to the M counterpart, say B5 vs M5.

I am sorry luw but i think you are very wrong about Alpina customers.

Definitely...

 

[SCOTT27]

The only Tuner company that gets to share in engine development with BMW through the experimental stage is ALPINA. Currently ALPINA are lending their expertise on the next B5 with BMW and the upcoming Four Cylinder Turbo charged petrol engines. ALPINA is the tuner that is probably the closest to BMW as they are there from the beginning. Other tuners do not get involved until the car is ready to launch.

Times have changed because the flagship performance 7er will be the Tri-Turbo Diesel.

That sounds so right! The diesel character is just right for luxury travel.

 

[Shakal]

Isn't 760i with V12 twin turbo performance flagship ?

 

[SCOTT27]

No because the V12 is an additional model to the 7er . The Tri-Turbo Diesel will inherit a more sporting appearence. Think of the Tri-Turbo cars as the M variants of BMW's diesel lineup.
