These are official pictures of the new BMW 7-Series, which have been leaked ahead of the official release date tomorrow.
BMW’s flagship luxury saloon has grown in both height and length, with the standard car now measuring 5.1 metres from front to rear. The update looks are designed to hide the car’s bulk, while lightweight aluminium body panels keep the weight down.
It’s also clear that BMW has toned down the controversial styling of the previous generation 7-Series, a car that divided opinions throughout its lifetime. Now a more streamlined look has been adopted, with the new front and rear light treatment marking a new direction for BMW.
We know that a new eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox will be used in the 7-Series, and that it will also include plenty of green technology, including the company’s CO2-cutting ‘Efficient Dynamics’ system. It will also feature an innovate in-car internet system that BMW has been developing.
The new BMW 7-series will receive its international debut at this year’s Paris motor show, with sales beginning in mid-November.
