Vehicle Type Buckle up for the nomenclature! Large Luxury Sedan History/Description The last complete generation of BMW’s iconic 7 Series hit the Canadian market in 2008 as a 2009 model, and carried on until 2015. Packing the latest in luxury implements and high-tech feature content, this generation of 7 Series competed, once agai

BMW have just unveiled the all-new 2016 7 Series. The 2016 7 Series marks the sixth generation of the marque’s flagship. Make no mistake, this is no mild refresh; the 2016 7 Series is a whopping 86 kilograms (or 190 lb) lighter than its predecessor and features a wealth of new and improved onboard technology. Most of the weight savings are made

BMW's latest 7 Series sedan will arrive this Spring as a revised version of the current sixth-generation model sporting "extensive updates" on nearly every aspect of the car. � Cosmetic revisions include a new front bumper and fenders, hood, headlights, taillights (including a light strip across the width of the car) and rear bumper trim. The c

BMW just held its Annual Accounts Press Conference 2020, the state of the business address for the German automaker. While they acknowledged upcoming hard times, BMW's top executives also talked about some positive developments. The biggest announcement came from Chairman of the Board Oliver Zipse, who confirmed that the next-generation 7 Series

Evidently tired of watching Mercedes-Benz take the lion's share of the full-size luxury coupe market, BMW is reportedly planning a two-door sportier version of the luxury flagship 7 series. Bloomberg is reporting that a source familiar with the plan has said that the super-coupe could arrive as soon as 2019. This would be part of BMW's goal which s

BMW has officially launched their new plug-in hybrid 7 series, the (bit of a mouthful) 740Le xDrive iPerformance. The luxury hybrid comes in long wheelbase form, with all-wheel drive, a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder, 9.2 kWh lithium-ion battery, and an 113 hp electric motor. The combination produces 326 hp and 369 lb-ft. More than enough to move

BMW is getting set to bring to market the first 7 Series model to benefit from its M Performance treatment. While it's not quite an M7, the M760Li gives BMW a direct competitor to Audi's S8 , and Mercedes-Benz's S 63 4MATIC , thanks to a twin-turbocharged 6.6L V12 engine rated at 600 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. That's 44 hp and 37 lb-ft more

You can see the future today, no soothsayers or crystal balls required. All you need is a German luxury flagship sedan – in fact, this particular one – and you will catch not just a glimpse, but a clear vista of what the future holds in the automotive realm. BMW’s new 750Li xDrive sedan is the Bavarian marque’s most advanced and technology-

It's a tale of road rage and what not to do from both sides of a collision. And of just how strong the BMW 7 series is. A road rage video of a hit, a chase, a rollover, and more chase. Plus two drivers who should probably get their driving privileges suspended. The video starts on the Atlantic City Turnpike, just south of Camden, New Jersey. The

I imagine it began like this: One day, some Alpina or BMW executive was flying business class on Lufthansa or Air Canada. Maybe he booked the ticket, maybe he was upgraded because of his kind German smile. But somewhere, during the flight, this mad genius surveyed his business class pod, and thought “Hey, this would work nicely in a car!” The

Throughout history, humankind has proven itself time and again unable to adhere to the maxim of “Just because we can do a thing, it does not necessarily follow that we must do that thing.” See: parachute pants, fictional dinosaur parks, the 10th season of the X-Files. The BMW M760Li’s straight-line acceleration is an absurd experience tha

The concept of a sumptuous full-size luxury sedan equipped with advanced technology, while boasting compact-car-like fuel efficiency, is an enticing proposition, no doubt. Especially so for executives with a generous vehicle allowance, but who may cover their own fuel costs; or ones who want to minimize their environmental footprint, but aren’t rea

Fire up the 2018 BMW M760Li from dead cold, there’s that extra moment of starter cranking to suggest something substantial is stirring from slumber. The starter free-spins a moment, pre-spooling with a smooth whirr, before the engine awakens. There’s none of the rapid chirping of a regular starter motor, and you imagine a similar noise when start

Think "large luxury sedan" and it's hard not to picture the German 1-2-3 hit parade consisting of the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. No wonder then that most of the competitors – cars like the Lexus LS, Genesis G90 and Cadillac CT6 – all cleave closely to the German luxury blueprint. If you want something a little different, it le

Palm Springs, CA – The latest edition to BMW’s M Performance lineup comes in the form of the 2018 BMW M760Li xDrive sedan. With a starting price of $159,900, BMW says it’s designed to combine luxury, style, safety, innovative technologies and high-performance driving dynamics. But really, BMW says that about every vehicle it builds, so what does th
