Re: F01 BMW 7er - first spy pics

This leads me to believe that the new 7er will be sportiest 7er ever! And also, you told us about 2 versions SWB and LWB, could this be for SWB to make it more sport orientated and to compete with S8 and AMG models and LWB to concentrate only on luxury and stuff?

C'mon Eni, stop being so coy.

How many cylinders? Capacity? Hybrid technology? I haven't been this inquisitive in years. Arrggh! The madness!

It seems too that thus far we're the only people discussing this at this level; nothing on CSS, nothing on Pistonheads... no blogs anywhere...

Start the discussions there.

When the 100% right answer comes I'll nod. But I ain't tell anything!




Also mind what I heard are rumors (internal) only, so I can't be 100% sure this is it. Will try to find out more. To know when to nod ...

You know Just_me, I'm afraid that I might be overhyping this but that kind of layout in an engine bay is just about as familiar as I've ever seen in my extensive experience with front-mounted Boxer engines. So yes, in my opinion this engine more closely resembles a Boxer engine a la Subaru than anything else I've ever seen before.

Re: F01 BMW 7er - first spy pics

Pardon my ingorance, but why isn't that just a N64B (V8 Turbo) with some efficient dynamics components?

Best regards, south
