BMW M7 Possibly Spied Lurking About In The Dark
BMW's Motorsport division said it would never tune an SUV, yet they've gone back on their word on that one. Does that leave room for a big-daddy M7? Looks like a definite "maybe." More » -

2009 BMW 7-Series, ActiveHybrid Hit LA Show Floor
BMW rolled out the red carpet for the debut of the new 2009 BMW 7-Series and BMW Concept 7-Series ActiveHybrid, both driving across the carpet under power of BMW's twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8. The difference is while the 2009 7-Series moved with the force of 400 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque, the 7-Series ActiveHybid had an additional 20 HP and 155 lb-ft of torque on tap thanks to the addition of an electric motor. The former will go on sale early next year while the latter is but a concept, though one we believe is close to the design of a future BMW hybrid. Press releases and live photos below. More » -

BMW Concept 7 Series ActiveHybrid Adds Power, Efficiency
Ahead of its official reveal at the LA Auto Show, the official details on the BMW Concept 7 Series ActiveHybrid have finally been released after months of us sitting on the edges of our seats, waiting with bated breath. The ActiveHybrid (as opposed to the other name considered, "LazyHybrid") is a "preview of potential" for things to come from BMW and shows off a mild hybrid operating from a motor integrated transmission, which was jointly developed with Chrysler and General Motors. The motor "assists" a 400 HP, 450 lb-ft, 4.4 liter V8 with its own 20 HP and 155 lb-ft of torque providing oil barons with cognitive dissonance the feel-good benefit of 15% better fuel economy. Complete details in an uncompromisingly self satisfied press release below. More » -

2009 BMW 7-Series, Now With 400 HP Twin-Turbo V8
The next generation 7-Series has officially arrived, though if you've been paying attention you've already seen the 2009 BMW 7-series and therefore know that the design team has gone to great effort to correct the car's awkward-looking posterior. A new twin-turbocharged, direct-injection 4.4-liter V8 manages 400 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque, which should make the chauffeur happy. If you find yourself behind the wheel there's a plethora of technology to keep you from killing yourself including Active Cruise Control, Active Blind Spot Detection, BMW Night Vision and cameras on the side and rear of the luxo-yacht. The new 7-series is also the first BMW with a multi-link double-wishbone front suspension. It's something to think about on the way to the appointment with your increasingly distressed stock broker.

2009 BMW 7-Series Sketches Reveal The Slightly More Radical Path Not Taken
Though there was some speculation that the 2009 BMW 7-Series might be undergoing a radical refresh, the actual 2009 7-Series is a mostly underwhelming update. The rear of the car has been mercifully revised. The rest of the big Bimmer has undergone a more subtle transformation — especially subtle in light of the 7-series sketches released by BMW today.

2009 BMW 7-Series Thinks It's KITT, Has Human-Detecting Night Vision
Although we showed you the new 2009 BMW 7-Series in all of its unofficial glory on Thursday. Well, now we've got the official details from BMW, and we've included the full press release for the new 7-Series after the jump. Sure, focus all you want on the horsepower (407 HP in the 750i and 750Li, 326 HP in the 740i and 740Li) or the torque (600 Nm of torque in the 750i and 750Li, 450 Nm of torque in the 740i and 740Li) or even the 155 MPH electronically-limited top speed, but the one thing that's sticking out in our minds is the new "individual pedestrian recognition" night vision system. That's right, the new BMW 7 will tell you when there's a person walking in front of the car, even at mid-double-digit speeds. See, there's a little icon of a person and everything. We're just wondering whether there's a similar icon for moose, deer or other woodland creatures. We'll have to see once we get behind the wheel ourselves in rural Michigan. More » -

2009 BMW 7-Series Caught Heading Towards Vegas, So Money
While en route to a swinging bachelor party, AutoFiend's editor came upon a 2009 BMW 7-Series testing along the road to Las Vegas (generally a much happier drive than the ride home). This time the 7-series is mostly uncamouflaged and lacking in the Flowbee package; also, it looks as though someone has squirted a bit of water on the flame surfacing relative to the previous generation.

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.

2009 BMW 7-Series Caught On Roman Holiday
The Italian Stallions over at the Mediterranean version of the blog about autos caught these photos of a disguised 2009 BMW 7-series while cruising down the autostrada. We'd like to think they were wearing a yellowed wife beater, gold medallion, driving a mid-'90s Panda and gesticulating wildly while they took them, which would help explain why they're so fuzzy. Expect the new 7-series to be introduced at the 2008 Paris Motor Show with Concept CS-aping looks. [Via Autoblog.it] More » -

We've seen BMW's 2009 7-series in this sort of trippy camo before, but this time the Bavarians to have toned it down a couple notches. Though we are kind of disappointed this tester isn't equipped with the Flowbee package. Look past the swirly camouflage and you can see the car has a crisper, sharper look compared to the current model. As expected, there appears to be a degree of styling influence from BMW's CS Concept. Of course we'll have to wait for the Paris Auto Show, where this new 7-Series is expected to be revealed, to see how it really looks. More » -

2009 BMW 7-Series Flowbee Package Both Sucks And Cuts
Although readers to the site have long known BMW and Flowbee International were working on a partnership, with these spy photos we can finally show you definitive proof. That's right — the new 2009 BMW 7-series sedan will come with an exclusive optional Flowbee package. Yes, although driving and haircuts at the same time may seem like magic or something out of a dream — it's real and here's proof it's coming soon. No word yet on whether it will include the rumored "underbrush volumizer," "pet comb" or "hair spacer" attachments, but our sources tell us the package will cost just $59.95. Of course that doesn't include shipping and handling. Full spy report from KGP below the jump.

2009 BMW 7-Series
Only lightly camouflaged compared to prior spy photos of the new BMW 7-Series, this newly-caught 7-Series peeked out during what was allegedly a marketing team photo shoot in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks to the shots from CarPoint.com.au, you can see the new grille looks to have a strong resemblance to the CS Concept from the 2007 Shanghai Auto Show. We've been told the styling of the new big BMW has a totally different feeling than the current E65 model, making the car look visually slimmer and tighter. We'll have to see that to believe it given the current explosion in weight and size of every automaker's new models. Expect the new 7er to be officially unveiled no sooner than the Paris Motor Show this fall. [CarPoint.com.au] -

Junkyard Finds: 80s High-End German Iron
During my last visit to a local self-service junkyard, I noticed far more than the usual number of expensive German cars from the 80s, mostly in non-wrecked condition. Has some threshold been reached, where such cars are no longer worth maintaining? Here's a handful of photos of an '80 633CSi ($32,825 new, $83,232 in 2007 dollars), an '84 633CSi ($40,705 new, $81,855 in 2007 dollars), and an '89 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL ($72,280 new, $121,789 in 2007 dollars). I must admit that I wondered- briefly- if that big Mercedes V8 would fit in a Crown Victoria's engine compartment. More »

BMW 7 Series Spotted Entering GM's Milford Proving Grounds
Tomorrow at the LA Auto Show we'll be seeing the product of BMW's continued work with GM and the two divorced sides of what was once the German-American hybrid, Daimler and Chrysler — the Hemi Hybrids from Chrysler and GM's full-size GMT-900 hybrid SUV's. BMW's full-size SUV powered by the joint research between all of them knights of Teuton and the 'merican revolution of GM will be coming soon, but not expected to be revealed here in LA. But notice how I used the word "continued" — because an assumption can be made — based upon this here camo-ed up BMW 7-Series entering GM's Milford Proving Grounds — that the Global Hybrid Cooperation (GHC) between these three automakers is still going strong and now it appears they're working on some sedan systems.

The LeMons People's Curse Award: Doomed 7-Series
One of the traditions of the 24 Hours of LeMons race is the People's Curse award, in which participants vote for their least favorite car. The "winner" of this vote is then destroyed early in Day Two, and let that be a lesson to jerky drivers and/or cheating teams who spend far over the $500 limit on their cars! At the Altamont LeMons race a couple weeks back, the People's Curse award was bestowed upon this silver '97 BMW 7-series. The story was that the car was abandoned at the Orange County BMW dealership at which Poly Orchid Racing team members were employed, and was thus free. However, much grumbling ensued from members of teams who weren't able to obtain free V8-powered German übermobiles, with the results you see here. More »

Workhorse Engine of the Day: BMW M30
First of all, thanks for all the great Workhorse Engine of the Day suggestions, everyone- we'll be working down the list, so keep the ideas coming and don't get upset if your favorite engine hasn't appeared yet. Today we're going over to Europe (thanks to the suggestion of PatrickAustin) to take a look at the venerable BMW M30 engine. Built in various displacements for nearly 30 years, the Bavarian über-six-banger powered a bunch of our favorite BMWs, ranging from our last DOTS BMW to the '94 730i.

Deal of the Week: BMW Alpina B7
What costs six figures, produces 516 lb-ft of torque and looks like something Chris Bangle once scribbled on a cocktail napkin? Exactly, it's the BMW 7-Series in Alpina B7 trim. And for a limited time, you can own one at an interest figure lower than that introductory, adjustable-rate number you got from the shady mortgage broker behind the train station. Of course, with your house now going on the forclosure block, you'll need a place to stay. May we recommend the Alpina B7, which for a limited time you can get at up to 60 months at 3.9 percent. And if you had any equity left in that pressboard Mc Mansion the bank now owns, you could cut your living expenses in half. If you already own a 6- or 7-Series BMW, you can opt for $3500 in cash back in lieu of the financing deal. That way, you can load the trunk with Top Ramen and hot sauce. [Edmunds]

Car und Driver snagged themselves some shots of the next 7-series from Priddy's photographer pride, and they largely show us the same things seen in the shots from last week. Same look at the "Bangle Butt" BMW calls "aerodynamically ideal," same proportions, etc. We've re-included those shots below in case you're looking to peruse them again, mostly because the shots C&D have are kind of small. We're not casting aspersions, just saying ours are bigger, wider and more uncut. But theirs don't have the Euro plate on the front, so we guess they've got that going for them.

Over the Back Fence: Loose Talk on the Next BMW 7-Series
According to those wacky Spies of all things Auto, BMW's next 7-Series sedan will be incrementally more refined than the current model, with electronics features that don't throw gang signs up on the display monitor instead of working. Not only that, if rumors pan out, the 7 will get a load of new tech including four cameras linked to algorithms that control all manner of assistance functions, including parking, backup. around-corner vision, lane-departure warning and pedestrian upskirt shots (you stopped listening, didn't you?). AS's sources say the 7 will also get virtual gauges projected on a plasma screen. Oh the engine? How about 700 hp via the company's new twin-turbo kit. All that and a less flame-surfaced body style?

BMW M7, if Only: Alpina B7 to Make US Debut at Chicago Show
Sultans lamenting the lack of BMW M7 action, whip out your AMEX Centurion cards. Bavarian tuning shop and BMW partner Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen (just Alpina, thanks) will show its B7 sedan at the Chicago show next week. It'll be the US debut for the tuner 7-Series, which has been massaged up to 500 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, via supercharging. That means unlike the M5, the B7 is a lowdown torque monster, peaking at at 4,250 rpm (compared to the V10's 383 lb-ft at 6,100 rpm). It also gets a sport-tuned suspension with active roll stabilization, signature 20-spoke wheels and a functional aero kit. A single low, low payment of $115,695 will get you one of the 200 B7s set to be produced this year. More »

Spy Photos: More on the Next BMW 7-Series
Word on the street is the next BMW 7-Series will look less like something out of Chris Bangle's scribble diary, and more elegantly understated. Does that mean flame surfacing is growing up, and leaving behind all of its adolescent pretense? It's still hard to tell, considering the latest test prototype spotted is covered in something that looks like Lumpy Lumperson in a wet suit. Anyway, this is likely a late-cycle refresh, not a major redesign. But according to The Car Connection, the most noticeable new segment may be the 6-Series grille. For good or ill. More » -

Fill 'er Up With High Test: Driving the BMW Hydrogen 7
BMW's 12-cylinder Hydrogen 7 isn't exactly the ultimate driving machine, considering it takes nearly 10 seconds to get from zero to 60 mph (laugh it up, Volkswagen Rabbit). But that's only a small concern, considering this 7's only true competitor is an airport shuttle bus built by Ford. The BMW (and Ford's shuttle) are the first vehicles on the road built to run on liquid hydrogen, whose combustion in a traditional V8 emits only water vapor and nitrous oxide, with a side of carbon dioxide. Wired News tested the Hydrogen 7 in Germany, and relays the details. The economies of usage don't exactly jibe; currently, it costs far more to drive the same mile in the Hydrogen 7 as it does in its dino-juiced counterpart, mainly due to the high price of hydrogen fuel at the retail level. Plus, the process of extracting hydrogen from natural gas produces more C02 emissions than the car. But particulars aside, it's interesting to see carmakers pursue hydrogen combustion, which may wind up proving how the "hydrogen economy" will be impossible without a corresponding resurgence in nuclear energy. Maybe that's their intent. More »

According to the UK's CAR, BMW's next 7-Series — expected in mid to late 2008 — will be sleeker, more coupe-like and more compactly comported — a departure from the current model's Bangleized pulchritude. Underneath, there's BMW's new, modular architecture, with which it will mix and match parts to create the 5-Series, 6-Series and new, lower-priced Rolls-Royce sedan line. There will also be a hybrid model, sporting the gas-electric powerplant BMW's been developing with odd bedfellows DaimlerChrysler and GM, along with diesels and a range of next-gen direct-injection gas engines. Considerably more prelims await those who click through. More » -

Slightly Lesser Roller: Rolls-Royce to Build New Sedan Range
The guys from Winding Road, who just so happen to be sitting next to us in the ParisTurkish prisonauto show presstombroom, say Rolls-Royce has confirmed it's building a line of sedans slotted just below the Phantom, in the $230,000 to $330,000 range. Word is, the new models — to be launched within four years — will be close in size to the 101EX, and share a few parts with parent BMW's 7-series. That price point keeps the model ahead of potential rival Bentley, but still well below Boeing's "On the Wings of Imagination" Rose Parade float. More »

Earlier this year, BMW execs said the company's first hydrogen-fueled vehicles were two years away. Of course, they weren't talking fuel cells, they meant hydrogen used in an internal combustion manner — with the hydro tanks fitted alongside traditional gasoline tanks in a flex-fuel setup. Now, AutoExpress has published some shots of a 7-Series thought to be a production version of the CleanEnergy concept undergoing testing in Germany. Considering the company has only a year-and-a-half to meet its deadline, it should definitely be at least this far along. More » -

Regardless, the German company says its 5.2K kit will boost horsepower of the 750i V8 from 360 to 550, and torque from 360 ft.-lbs to 590 ft.-lbs, reducing zero-to-60 times to 5.5 seconds.

Next-Gen BMW 7-Series to be Smaller, Less Radical
As Edmunds Inside Line reports, the next BMW 7-Series could be smaller, sportier and less ungainly (or more gainly, if you prefer).

Word is the current 7-Series will morph into the new, lower-priced executive Rolls-Royce expected to come in under $200,000. More »
