Quit simply put.. the S65 and others in that field are targeted at different clientele. If BMW introduced an M7 it would be playing in that field and expanding it`s image.

I don`t believe BMW want to "expand" the M name though. We all should know that by now. The focus of the M-Division is to provide a razer edge driving experience with cars this Division selects that will clearly make the cut.
The 7-Series might not make that cut to them, not yet anyway.

That's fine if that's the case. Me on the other hand would like to see a M7 and a RS8. Why should the Benz boys have all the fun!

I wouldn`t mind seeing an M7 either. It would be quit interesting!
If BMW did introduce an M7 I`d like to see the M5s V10 put to use there.
It would need more hp and torque though. say 535hp@ 7000/ and 450lb-ft@ 5500RPM.

I'm all for adding more power and a sport kit for looks, but that's not really what makes an M car.

^^ Yawn right back to you. Could you try and picture really a M7? Do`nt think it will fit and will be almost 150,000 or even more and that would be too expensive and they will have to build in limited numbers.

And for the record, the E65 7er is the best selling 7er in BMW history.

Anyways, I am happy with BMW going with a fast 1er before a fast 7er.
I too think an M7 is completely crazy. If people want a fast huge car, they can go for the S65, I really don't care a bit.
If I would want something like that, I'd put a biturbo on my 760i
hahahahha

thats really made me laugh artist is a funny guy. Its funny because its true in a way. I cant imagine even M making the 7 series look remotely sporty or nice. BMW do need a faster and better 7er though.

V8 turbo will be enough for a performance 7er.

M7 will Not be needed because we have a certain four door sedan called the M5. it makes more sense to offer further improvement to the M5 than introduce a model which in turn will piss on the
M5's status , character, dynamics, power and identity.
