2009 BMW 7 Series Spied on the Nürburgring

http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... that most of the camouflage has come off the 2009 BMW 7 Series, we can finally see some of the details. The verdict? Inconclusive, as it still looks a lot like the current 7 Series, judging by what we can see.The overall greenhouse appears almost unchanged, while the front and rear ends show only minor revisions. A taller hood area is the most noticeable difference up front, most likely a consequence of European pedestrian crash test standards. You can see it in the taller, narrower grille and more prominent crease in the hood.If you hate the distinctive trunk design that pioneered on the 2002 7 Series, you're still out of luck, as it appears intact on this prototype. We expect to see a new taillight design that will reduce the 7's bulky rear end, but anyone hoping for a wholesale redesign will be disappointed.Like the current 7 Series, there will be the usual range of V8 and V12 engines. The twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 that debuted in the X6 will most likely power the standard version. With 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, the next 7 Series should be one of the faster V8 luxury sedans around, especially if BMW goes ahead with an eight-speed automatic transmission as the rumors suggest. A V12 version with even more power should follow shortly after.Given BMW's participation in a hybrid development program with Daimler and General Motors, it's a good bet that the 7 Series will offer the option of a gas-electric hybrid drivetrain at some point, too. Diesel is another possible option, although BMW may want to wait and see how the 335d and X5 diesel fare in the U.S. before sending any oil-burning 7 Series our way.Look for the official pics and information to arrive sometime this summer. An official auto show debut is expected at the Paris auto show in October, with European sales beginning later this year. Sales in the U.S. should start by the spring of 2009.

As to buhriito comment - oh really? and Audi and Merc have never camo'd their cars. Look to SL65 Black Series and CLK63 Black Series. Must be shit yeh?

Real Talk I like the current one i got a 730il. This the new one has large Grills which make it look ugly like "pigs nose".

That rear bumper is incredibly similar to the LS 460.

The pictures are up on BMW's website. The outside is nice, but I really like the interior, way better than the current generation's interior which looks bulky and awkward. I like that they're making the car a little lower a sleeker, more like the 1995-2001 generation. This generation is fat, but definitely not ugly since it's restyling like some of these fools are saying. And one more thing, if you can't appreciate the 7, it's because you've never been in one.

the current 7 series are beautiful.. the reason they're depreciating so much is because they're very unreliable... its bmw's worst car... the 3 / 5 / and 6 series can easily go past 300k miles... the 7 not even close

colklink, actually bmw has the best residual value in the last 15 years....in 2006-present the lexus and bmw were fightin for first in residual value. For the resale value they look at everything, form styling to feul efficieney. And BMW style dont really change much, so their value stays higher then competitors.
