BMW, what happened to 3.9 liter twin turbo v8 diesel?? Now that would eat up many rivals for breakfast. Pity its not on the market. |
Having owned and driven a Merc and three BMW vehicles in the past, I KNOW that this will be one of the greatest vehicles on the road. |
Sheer Driving Pleasure !!! |
Haters, BMW rocks and cannot be compared to anything. |
As a 7 Series owner must I say that I am totally upset about the trade and re-sale value of these vehciles. As sson as you drive out of the showroom does the value of the 7 series
decrease by 50%. This is only for a cash market who has more money than brians. |
do yourself a favour! go test drive the new 7 series... Preferably the 750i. Than come and give your reviews..BMW makes it's competitors look like samples! |
A huge heavy limousine with a 3l diesel engine (despite the name tag, this is the same engine you find in the X5 350d), and it has performance figures way ahead of a golf GTi (more than half a second to 100 better). Wow!!! Those guys sure know how to build diesel engines. |
I like the new 7 shape. The improvement on it over the previous 7 is the same as the improvement of the new Z4 on the previous one. So my opinion is that this 7 with the M package does not look as good as the one without. The M packaged 7 looks Bangle-like. One thing though, the engine is super impressive. I respect BMW engines. Well done BM on the engine. |
If only it did not look like crap |
Stealth...You need to get with the times. BMW are trendsetters in the market. Please focus. |
I've seen a few on the road and they look even uglier in person. What were the designers thinking? Where are the beautiful BMW's of old? I'll stick with my E46. |
Those nostrils in the front look terrible! |
really now... i will choose this car anyday over a S65 merc. BMW is best. nuff said. This car's looks are already better than the S class. |
Keep trying Beem |
i like most of the shape,just something not right with the face.unfortunately it looks like most future bm`s will carry this mugg. |
GTO - We can be at each other's throats on other topics, but I agree with you, this is NO M7. If it were, the first thing that would be mentioned would be the Motor. Maybe the X5M motor or something, but there is no mention of engines other than the Diesel, which I'm sure NO "M" car will EVER have under the bonnet. Again, the normal 7 looks better than this kitted out thing. |
6.9 l/100km with an engine developing, 225kw and 600 N.M. I'm no expert but i dont think in the real world, one would achieve close to that. 9.5 seems more close to the Cigar. |
Sorry BM fans, the word speew should be replaced with projectile vomit..... there we go, much better! BMW supporters remind me of parents who think their ugly children are beautiful! |
Awesome! That diesel engine rocks. |
This is only for those whare going nowhere fast, like the "presidential convoys" you don't give a you-know-what about the rules of the road. |
Stealth - at last someone who knows what he is talking about - as far as Audi is concerned - better watch out! |
That turbo engine wouldn't last very long on the reef. BMW had a problem with the turbos blowing on the 320. Expect the same with this engine. |
Merc fan this, Audi fan that, BMW fan another... they're not rugby or football teams, people!
Why can't you just validate and critique each car on its own merit? The 7-series is a limo and a limo with an M-pack or sports pack is just wrong. |
Just another gimmic from BMW. I thought M was short for "Motorsport". Where's the performance model? |
My apologies everyone, I assumed the 740D was a V8. After reading the article a 2nd time, I realised my mistake. Yes that it very good power for 6. You can all put the rocks down now, I have apologised. |
Why does its say"BMW hatches 'M7'". This is no M7 its a normal 7 series with a bodykit. Still looks very boring! |
This isn't too bad, but I prefer the normal 7 Series. The 740D sounds quite mean, though it doesn't compare to the 240Kw / 760NM V8 Diesel that's in the Q7. Audi should put this motor in the A8 and A6. I'm not dissing the 7, I like it very much, but it has been done better by the competition. |
I am an Audi fan but will be the first to admit that Merc owns this segment. S65 AMG, nuff said. |
Stealth, this vehicle is targeted at the niche market. These buyers, who can actually afford it, know about styling and design, unlike you. To call it a "heap of #$@$" clearly shows your intelligence level (or rather lacking thereof). |
as a die hard merc fan i have to give it to bmw, they really make brilliant engines, the combination of power, economy, torque, light weight aluminium construction is just awesome, this 7 series looks bad too, merc needs to stop being cheap and make use of more aluminium and other lightweight saving components to achieve better handling, performance, economy, power, emissions etc, audi and jag is also doing it so merc shud too |
Im not the biggest BMW fan but this looks amazing. Why cant they scale it to smaller dimensions and make it the next 3 series??? |
This M kit looks spectacular! |
mmmm, very nice indeed |
If BMW enthusiasts were to be honest with themselves they'd admit that the 7 Series just isnt anywhere near the S Class. Even with these cosmetic changes the car still doesnt have presence, style, luxury or status. Its not about engines here - this is the luxury limo market. |
As a Merc and Audi fan, in a lesser way BMW fan, because of their drivers, - I really think that this is quit an achievement. Well done BMW! |
Stealth, if somebody gave you one for free, would you still think it was S@%T? Grow up, and see it for what it is!! |
Looking at this machine I realised that i BMW stylists are working hard. Really hard!!!
Pity though, there are going to be so many haters! I can see it already.
Another war based upon which of the german giants are best.
Simply put, this machine is really something. |
The wheels simply do not suit the car and the aluminium trim on the dash cheapens it. The body kit is stunning though. |
Wow ave of 6.9L/100km in this big car is marvellous... |
As a Merc fan, I hardly feel threatened by this heap of #$@$ that BMW speewed out (just like the 7 series). Seem's the only worthy opposition left is Audi! |
Wow what an impressive motor,740D 3ltrs twin blown diesel equal to its petrol twin. They should put this motor in the 3 series. 600NM of torque is mighty.... |
thus thing looks like a cheap jap car |
WOW! |
