The cars base motor is the 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8. It allegedly produces 407hp 450tq. This same motor propels the 5,000lb X6 to 60mph in 4.8 seconds and quarter in 13.3 per RoadandTrack. The 7 comes in at a hefty 4200lb. Hot Damn. I wonder what it will do the lighter 5 series. This is why I looove BMW. Crazy mofos.

Fuel Economy is said to increased 6% b/c of the additional gears.

This gen 7series will no longer be BMW's flagship from the those ''in the know'' have said. An 8 series and new Z8 is on the way.

BMW says the 750i is capable of 0-62mph in 5.2seconds....Riight. In this day and age 11's are the old 12's.

Very, very nice!

The side profile reminds me of the Rolls Royce...the rear is cleaned up quite a bit and looks like a well tailored suit...gotta love the Lexus LS-like exhaust.

The front is classic BMW...nothing wrong with that. Nice job!!

It's pretty clean overall, but the face um...has a cartoonish lip to it:



Odd how it made me think of a Spongebob character on first sight. And oh look! Rear seat iDrive! I'm sure C&D can't wait to get their hands on that.

The exterior is horribly bland, kind of like a Lexus. Bring Bangle back with his odd curves.

Wtf happened to the front? Looks like it ran into a brick wall. The back and side profiles are decent, but I think I actually like the previous gen's front end more.

Looks great to me, inside and out. I like simpler lines and this car has them in spades. Understated yet somewhat aggressive and sleek at the same time.

They could have chosen a better color, though. That champagne color is not very flattering. The fact that the car looks pretty good in that color means it'll probably look fantastic in the darker colors.

Front is ugly as a pig and the back looks like a Lexus. The interior is nice though.
