BMW 7 Series tagged posts

The completely-redesigned 2016 BMW 7 Series is coming. BMW has hosted a private preview event in Miami on 04/15. For those who did not have the opportunity to see the new BMW flagship two weeks ago, here we are going to show you how the new 7 series looks like.

The use of the light weight material will also reduce the curb weight of the new 7-series for around 450 lbs compared to the current generation.

The rumor started earlier this year, when one day BMW official website suddenly posted a page of the 720i model, then withdrawed that webpage shortly after.

Although no one inside BMW ever commented, denied or confirmed the existence of 720i, I still consider this model actually make a business case, not in US or north America, but in Europe and Asia, especially the Chinese market.

Perhaps still not widely known for US customers, BMW did create some very special version of their 3 and 5 series in the Chinese market: they have a long wheel base versions of the 3/5 sedans there.
