Jalopnik: 2009 BMW 7

2009 BMW 7-Series Spotted During Wet-Weather Testing

After our not-so-pleasant time with the outgoing 2008 BMW 7-Series, we were sure that the upcoming 2009 BMW 7-Series couldn't possibly be any worse. After all, it doesn't look half bad in the official shots that have leaked out. But now we've got these shots of one still testing. This could mean one of two things: Either the Germans are just being themselves and demanding perfection, testing it up to the very last moment possible. Or they are desperately scrambling to get it right, making sure all the settings of the i-Crap on the car work as they should. Of course, maybe some engineer just took it out on his lunch break.

2009 BMW 7-Series Teases German Golfers

The new 2009 BMW 7-Series won't be officially unveiled until next week, but that didn't stop BMW from showing off a larger-than-life teaser image at this past weekend's BMW International Open in Germany. Of course, they had to show something, since the prize for sinking a hole-in-one on the par-three 17th hole was none other than one of the new Bavarian luxo-barges.

This new teaser gives us a nice look at the LED headlights that get their style from the sleek CS Concept. We may not be serious golfers, but we can't wait to see what kind of driver this new 7 is going to be. Wait, what? "Driver" is a golf term? Really? Who knew? [roadfly via 7post] hat tip to Jason!

2009 BMW 7-Series Bumper Hits EBay?

According to our friends over at Pistonheads, the best place to get a gander at what the new 2009 BMW 7-Series looks like isn't by setting up a tripod on the Nurburgring or by chatting up the forum fan-boys. Nope, it's heading over to EBay where apparently the front bumper for the next generation F01 BMW 7-Series has popped up on the auction site and is now going for a not-so-hefty 5 Euros. We've no idea if the seller is yanking our chain, but if they are, the joke's pretty damn funny. Now only if someone could tell us where to find our Flowbee package. One more pic from the reverse after the jump.
