    BMW 7 with M Sport package

    BMW 7 will be offered with special aero exterior kit. First pictures from testing...:

     


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

     pictures are not showing, and id really like to see them  


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

     I agree. The pictures would be most interesting.

    I am curious: will they develop a real M model or is this just cosmetics?


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    +3 ,, no pics.....

    Agreed. Smiley

    So I guess it will be mainly cosmetics. Smiley

    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    That looks clearly like M. Check the shape underneath the front light you can clearly see the intakes underneath the camo!

    Not sure if I would like it on a seven, but why not.


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    I don't know why it doesn't show a pictures, maybe I did something wrong when I uploaded them... 

    This will be only aerodynamic package. Next new engine which will be introduced in new 7er will be the 354hp Tri-Turbo Diesel (it will be introduced after X5 gets it)


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    oh,oh, ho! 3-turbo 345HP diesel!

    DAMN.... but I can only imagine the price on that one!

    How big will the engine be? 4.0?

    V8 or V6?

    O.

    I was wondering did BMW cheap out or made a mistake somewhere, the new M Aero package will be a ill-fitted black bra only.


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    It will be 3.0 6-cylinder diesel engine .


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    I am really curious about the technical rational for a 3-turbo engine.  Either there is a genuine technical justification or it is just another vain technical war with the other German manufacturers who are coming up with bi-turbo diesel engine.    Also no matter how many turbos and how much power/torque it delivers, it is stil a 6-cylinder engine and I doubt it delivers the same "laufkultur" as that of the petrol-powered V8 (TBC).  If one is seeking low consumption the upcoming hybrid may be the appropriate choice.  Shakal, do you know on which engine this version will be based on?

    I don't have a lot of info about that engine... From what I heard it will be based on the existing six cylinder engine.  We won't see 8-cylinder diesel engines anymore. Reason is they aren't economical enough and aren't clean enough. Also this tri-turbo engine will feature Efficient Dynamics technology - including Start-Stop, Brake energy regeneration... Already 3.0sd (twin turbo) engine is good replacment for 4.0d engine, and this tri-turbo engine will be another step forward.


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    The 3-Turbo will be a monster of a machine. I'look forward to this one. Might also be a great implent for the sportier BMWs - 3 Series, 6?


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    I hope they mask the diesel sound even further!

    Also what I read as a rational for giving up the 8-cylinder diesel engine is that it would be 1 block for one model (the 7-series) which makes it not profitable enough.


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    I'm sorry - nothing can make the new 7 look as good as the last one.

    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    Heist, for me, the new seven is one of the most beautiful and stunning BMWs ever. Definatley on the short list for my next daily driver.

    8-cylinder diesel engine could be used in X5, X6, 5 GT... but smaller (6-cylinder) twin turbo (or tri-turbo) is more efficient and got better performances. So there is no reason to put 8-cylinder diesel engine in those times. Already 3.0 diesel engine in new 7 series is big improvement, so I can imagine how great this tri-turbo engine will be.


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    Great pics Shakal, thanks! Smiley

    IMO the new front with the large air intake beneath the (too big) kidney looks A LOT better, since the kidney is not too prominent here. Smiley

     Great pictures Smiley This version of the 7 series looks nicely compact Smiley


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    Thanks Shakal - great shots! I like that you keep us updated what BMW is doing! :-)

    I'm a M-package fan since long, but this one I wouldnt take. But as you said, its probably only an aerodynamic package and those have been in history very often a bit awkward and less beautiful.

    The outgoing V8 diesel is a good engine but nowhere near as good in laufkultur as the four- or even the six-cylinder model. In fact, I have been driving in the first and also in the outgoing V8 model and the vibrations emitted are quite recognizable in certain conditions. The inline-6 will not fall short on this account.

    Regarding the fuel consumption, even the V8 diesel can be driven with 8 to 10 litres at a very good pace. What this particular engine was lacking in my personal opinion is a bit of top-end power, in contradiction to the low-end torque.


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    PLEASE BMW, let it be the long awaited S-AMG and S8 smashing BMW ///M7.  Let it humiliate Mercedes AMG.

    This should have been on the market long before any SUV's with M badges imo. 


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    550+hp turbo V8 M7 with M-tuned xDrive in SWB, yummy.

     


    Re: BMW 7 with M Sport package

    Whoopsy:

    Won't happen. BMW don't have any plans to make a M7. Performance flagship will be 7er with TriTurbo diesel engine. Also cars with TriTurbo engine will have M aerodynamic package - bigger air intakes, so this prototype could be with this engine.

    Ferdie: Thats what I heard, but ofcurse I can be wrong. Maybe more reasons led to this BMW won't continue with V8 diesels. But not only BMW, but everyone will start making smaller and more efficient engines.

    Lars: I hear a little about new models and I like to share that here Smiley
