From you-know-who ...

Quote:

Yes it is the F01 which will become the next 7er , unfortunately there is only one final element of design that can be seen here and that is the wing mirrors which give you a good interpretation of the design approach that is underneath the camouflage. The Volvo style shoulder line is part of the disguise and will not be featured as part of the design.

Magnesium in the engine construction , door skins and transmission , Aluminium front end structure , suspension and Bonnet lid, thermoplastic bootlid and front wings Will showcase the lightweight approach taken with the F01 - Full application of injected foam inserted in to the roof structure and pillars of the car expands and hardens to express structural rigidity and top flight crash performance whilst being an extra lightweight addition to the car.


The 7er has always been the model for BMW's "cutting edge" technical prowness. There will be No change of direction for the F01.


And thank god it will look nothing like that CGI......
